Goodbye Facebook
 
I am locked out of Facebook because of their new lack of privacy policy. I don't see any reason that they need a copy of my Drivers License. So, if we've been keeping in touch on there, I'm not ignoring you.

Interesting. They didn't ask me for a driver's license.

I had wondered how you were able to get away with your handle over there, since they claimed to require real names. I wonder if they just ran all their user names through a database of real names to look for any atypical names. There are a lot of strange names out there in the world. I wonder if they have sent that request to anyone who is actually using a real, albeit unusual, name?

I didn't get one for my other persona "Monstera". Are you sure it's for real?

snopes says No.

A hoax, though you may well be locked out of Facebook for some other nefarious reason.

This isn't an email. When I try to log in to Facebook I get the message ... different devices, different log on methods ... Web and app.

Apparently somebody dropped a dime on you.

BigV 07-27-2015 12:52 PM

well, shit.

clearly, glatt has more correctly identified the source of your trouble than I had. it's easy to say F U Facebook, but you might not want to do that. What if you just ginned up some "ID"? Like a library card, or membership card, etc?

glatt 07-27-2015 01:18 PM

Insane thing is, according that wired article, whoever dropped the dime gets to hide their identity, but your identity must be exposed.

Gravdigr 07-27-2015 01:39 PM

My buddy's late dog (I don't know if anyone will remember Crash) had an account under 'Crashy Luv', with no troubles.

He never mentioned any, anyway...

glatt 07-27-2015 01:43 PM

I also know a dog on FB. And a couple people with handles other than their real name.

I think they are all good until somebody drops a dime.

BigV 07-27-2015 02:26 PM

@Gravdigr

tha's because on the internet, nobody knows you're a dog.

Gravdigr 07-28-2015 12:50 PM

Heh.

In space, no one can hear you scream.

On the Internet, no one can hear you bark.

A Boeing 757-2J4ER first flew in May 1991. The brand-new airliner was delivered to Sterling Airlines, a now defunct Danish low-cost carrier.

A couple years later, it found its way into the fleet of Mexico's TAESA, also a now defunct airline.

In 1995, the jet was purchased by Microsoft cofounder Paul Allen. For the next 15 years, the Boeing served as a corporate runabout for the billionaire's various interests.

And then... and then... along came Trump.
In 2011, Trump took delivery of the then 20-year-old jet and added his personal touches, at great expense. Electronics galore, silk sheets, gold plated bathroom fixtures and seat belt buckles, and more.

Just think how many people he fucked for this.

Gravdigr 07-28-2015 04:29 PM

Wrong thread, maybe?

sexobon 07-28-2015 06:34 PM

Shhhhh, we moved it on him and hid it here.

xoxoxoBruce 07-28-2015 06:39 PM

Oh for Christ's sake, sorry Wolf, I obviously fucked that up.
It's the heat, yeah the heat. That's my story and I'll change it if I have to.:blush:

wolf 07-28-2015 07:07 PM

You can do no wrong in my eyes, bruce. That is one amazing thread hijacking, though. Involved a plane and everything!

Thanks, I though I was starting a new thread in Current Events, boy was I wrong. :rolleyes:

sexobon 07-28-2015 08:13 PM

Congratulations wolf, you got your hijacked thread back and the POTUS didn't even have to send in Delta Force!


wolf 07-31-2015 10:43 PM

I'm back on' kind of. If you get a friend request from someone with the last name of a dark rodent they make coats out of, that's me. Or pm me your fb name and I'll send a friend request.

I couldn't find the most recent Facebook complaining thread, so I'll put this here.

I took a picture of my extended family over the holidays and posted it to Facebook. I made it public because I knew my mom would want to share it, and others might as well, and honestly, I don't care if strangers see a picture of me. I didn't tag anyone, but some of my relatives tagged themselves, and it got shared once or twice.

I was just looking at who "liked" it. I knew most of the people, but there were some friends of my friends that I didn't know. And then there were 2 out of 54 who did not share mutual friends with me. Two complete strangers. Not even friends of anyone I'm aware of.

So these two people presumably saw in their feed that their friend liked some picture. They clicked on the picture that the friend liked, and then saw that the picture contained a bunch of strangers. And they clicked that they liked the picture too. I don't get it.

It's a nice picture, but nothing special if you don't know at least some of the people.

I don't know how prevalent it is on Facebook, but on other sites there are a certain percentage of spam bots that like random posts and photos because they're hoping you'll add them as a friend, and then they can spam you directly.

Griff 12-29-2015 09:39 AM

Maybe an old-timer who thinks they should know the people in the pic?

xoxoxoBruce 12-29-2015 11:52 AM

The glatts will be in some eastern European ad, some Malaysian kids show&tell, and some ISIS hate poster. :eyebrow:
