I would suggest that all access to internet, including your cell phone, sattelite/cable receivers, gps devices, computers, etc. because, with each use of these devices, you leave a digital footprint that can be used by big brother. If you don't like facebook, don't use it. Just don't fool yourself into falsely thinking you are more "protected" from big brother.Abraham wrote:ryouiki,
Bingo, but FBers will squirm with your perspective, most likely with a "yeah, but..." response.
Another perspective I find disturbing is the whole "friends" thing. It's has a weird, cult like vibe.
I guess the equivalent is "followers" when it comes to (gag) tweeting...

With FB, we are our own Big Brother freely giving away our privacy.
I heard one user gushing that it's just a way for him to keep up with his family and friends. His enthusiasm was manic and creepy. This guy isn't a teenager. He's a middle aged banker.
I don't buy it, there's a lot of different ways to accomplish keep up with family and friends, but he's convinced himself it's the best way.
The only group I can understand participating on FB is adolescents.
All of that aside, is there no downside to FB?
Or, is it another way to ego boost and give away privacy - all the while ignoring a whole host of downsides?
Anyone can see what you post on this forum. Only those you allow to see your FB page can access it. If I were worried about Big Brother I wouldn't be posting on this forum.
