Another FACEBOOK scandal

[Maverick]

To leave FB can be done ( I hope) you have to follow certain steps in precise order then not access FB or FB linked site for four weeks or it automatically reactivate its.
This worked a while back

This is what I used; he shows how to suspend or delete the account

Personally, I simply assume that anything I put out there is going to be fair game. So, I simply just guard what I put out there. I really don't have many secrets to keep anyhow....but I get the privacy concerns. Personally though, I enjoy keeping in touch with family and friends, and even long ago friends, classmates, and coworkers, etc. Not to mention, such networking is really the best way to stay employed these days.

We can fight the corporate oligarchy all we want, but its a losing proposition, and a war that has already been won, by them. At some point, you just have to decide if you're going to simply make the most of it, or wallow in misery against the system. I'm going to just try and be happy. Sometimes, I wish I was just another one of the ignorant sheep though, lol...but instead, I'll just try and be a happy wolf while donning my sheep outfit.

I don't have much of an online presence anyway, my kids and grandkids always text me anyhow, the Wife has to have for one of here jobs at the University. On a personal level people just post too much damn stuff aka dirty laundry plus too many pictures, I also think social media is the leading cause of hostility in k12 schools and we are seeing the results on the news every evening.

That's true.

I generally just use it to share pics of things we'd want to share, and neat things I see I want to share with friends. (like a new movie coming out, new place to go, etc.).

It's a different online world for the younger generations though...and that's not always a good thing. They grew up in this world of anonymity, and not being held accountable (as it was their screen name, so they can just make a new account if need be). They also grew up with all this knowledge at their fingertips, with little instruction as to how to disseminate it, and verify it. Most of these dolts think sites like Snopes dispense the gospel truth, for example.

They even think Bill Nye is a real scientist, lol. Seriously though, if you want to see the future, read the book, or see the movie....Ready Player One. I swear, this is basically prophecy, sadly (but sprinkle in a good helping of Idiocracy to go with it).....

Ok, and what the hell is a twitter or tweater, or is it tweaker? Usually I hear about it associated with Trump.

Why? Why have we become conditioned to believe this? Europe just passed some laws saying that this isn't the case. Why can't we get some privacy laws going here?

I have never used social media to get a job. The job I just got had over two hundred qualified applicants. The fact that I basically don't exist online was mentioned, but as a positive.

Who decided they have won? I sure haven't. I certainly don't feel like I'm wallowing in misery against the system.

Honestly, are you sure you are a wolf?

I am on Twitter because my feed is mostly about news and politics. I like knowing what happening. Trump loves to tweet and mostly it's just to get the MSM in a tizzy first thing in the morning.

He is a sly fox and plays them like a violin.
