Re: Facebook Seeks Your Soul?
What I've found with a few discussions I've had lately is this self-satisfaction that people express with their proffessed open mindedness. In realty it ammounts to wilful ignorance and intellectual cowardice as they are choosing to not form any sort of opinion on a particular topic. Basically "I don't know and I'm not going to look at any evidence because I'm quite happy on this fence."

The Net is best considered analogous to communication with disincarnate intelligences. As any neophyte would tell you. Do not invoke that which you have no facility to banish.

Good plan. However, remember that what you might want friends to see you might not want anyone else to see, and if your account gets hacked (which has happened before and will happen again) any ''secrets" you have will be compromised.rachelbean wrote:Everything I post is set minimum to friends only. I'm not going to stop sharing my life online because it's how I keep in contact with my friends and family 5500 miles away. I like the timeline, but again, I only share what I want people to see and I am picky about who I friend (i.e. not strangers).
Facebook is not so dangerous that one cannot use it, but it's not for kids and people do need to be careful.

The internet as a medium is deceptive.
I'm sitting in the privacy of my own home, and yet my every move can be tracked so easily by anyone who really wants to bad enough. I know that, but it doesn't seem real.

Re: Facebook Seeks Your Soul?
We trapped a guy on a gun forum. One of the guys posted pix of his gun, including a close-up of the serial number. The cops came by a few days later saying that they had a report that a stolen gun was in his possession. They can print outs of the posted pix and the pix matched the weapon the suspect had, except for one important point. The serial numbers were the same, but in a different order. The pix had been shopped and posted to trap the guy who made the report. The person that made the report was arrested for making false police reports.Crumple wrote:Seth is right on this occasion. Identity theft is rife and the tools to extract and profit from personal data are becoming ever more sophisticated. The information is exploited by advertisers to 'personalise' your web experience and can be just as easily be used by criminal networks to nudge you towards giving ever more information...until suddenly you wake up with no shoes and no wallet.
Since then I've declined to post pix of valuable objects on the net.
