So, we're in agreement?

Abraham wrote:In general, If you think you're not being tracked let's look at this analogy: postal analogy

Privacy, tracking and the Internet is much bigger than a bread box and it can't easily be explained.

The best analogy would be how a package moves thru the postal system. The package has a destination address like a street address or an IP address. Your IP address MUST stay attached to your package, or the package will never get delivered.

Everywhere along the way your IP address Must be captured to continue moving to the destination.

Tracking: how the captured IP address is stored for future use is where security controls come into play.

Agree?

Disagree?

If you disagree, how am I wrong?

Thanks!

Facebook scans the contents of messages that people send each other on its Messenger app blocking any that contravene its guidelines, it has emerged.

However, with that said. It is very difficult to not be tracked by somebody. It takes a lot of work and some IT knowledge. Even then, I am not convinced anything is 100%. If you are on the internet, there is someone watching and tracking. Take for instance, the fact you use a Yahoo email account, opens the door for the liberal yahoo to track much of what you do on the internet. Most websites you go to store cookies and other data on your computer that helps track your activities.

This is why I take such a strong position when someone on the internet calls me a hypocrite for being on the internet. If someone is on the internet, even when the computer is not actively being used, there is data being exchanged.

If you are not interested or don't want to utilize such a platform, then don't.

Of course you're math is spot on, but those who resist are weak.

Why, I know FB is leftist, but I have to stay with it because...I'm a weakling.

I'm hopelessly hooked and need to join some 12 step program to rid myself of FB.

Here's a start, quit worrying and using FB.

Pretty simple.

FB needs to die.

Fewer users, quicker death to a leftist monster.
