I for one am grateful to facebook for giving me a way to stay rather efortlessly in regular touch with friends and family I have spread across the globe! <br /><br />If I have anything I truly want to keep private, you can be sure it won't be posted anywhere on the internet!<br /><br />I just hate the fact that there are people abusing this. ;o(CrazyCrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17512240982215608638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5571749075036803790.post-57007013781591481022011-11-15T22:14:17.224-08:002011-11-15T22:14:17.224-08:00Kathy - I feel the same way.

Or you are attacked if one of them is.<br />Tough world in which we live.<br />The only reason why I stay on Facebook is because that's how we communicate for Occupy.Rob-bearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00171692478879522588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5571749075036803790.post-65643266295284535502011-11-15T17:45:31.533-08:002011-11-15T17:45:31.533-08:00I never post anything anywhere that I wouldn't...I never post anything anywhere that I wouldn't share with a stranger.Kathy Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10593849691667606991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5571749075036803790.post-7093421134452376372011-11-15T10:44:21.686-08:002011-11-15T10:44:21.686-08:00Linda - Just being aware is the key, I think.

Too easy for everyone to be used in face recognition hardware. Besides FB got its funding from Goldman Sachs. It may mean nothing - or it may mean everything.<br /><br />Bruce - I know. And I often catch myself doing exactly that.<br /><br />Hilary - I totally agree. I never worry about my writing being plagerized because I feel anything out there is pretty much public domain. <br /><br />Grandmother - Yeah, I am pretty careful with pictures of my grand on my blog. Which is hard because he is so adorable! :-)<br /><br />ds - I agree. Yet the thought of being unplugged is sad. I love being in contact with all of you.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13178290697351352495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5571749075036803790.post-78003135315266480682011-11-15T09:40:14.575-08:002011-11-15T09:40:14.575-08:00I read that article; it was beyond frightening.

Settings must be kept incredibly private and even then, they suggest "friends" that they can only know from email address books. I have zero trust in that site respecting your privacy and therefore any and all sites can take what they may from it. Of course, no matter where we post, as soon as we hit "publish" or "send" it is indeed in the public domain. We'd have to be naive to think otherwise in this day and age.Hilaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12787493532006658679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5571749075036803790.post-69847047529616713172011-11-15T08:17:44.501-08:002011-11-15T08:17:44.501-08:00I am constantly amazed by how much personal inform...I am constantly amazed by how much personal information people put on the internet.
