Things You Didn't Know About Facebook by Nobody: 12:14pm On Aug 02, 2013 |
Facebook has been partnering with companies to promote RFID technology for years in an attempt to market wristbands that track you, (a step before microchips being placed under your skin), as somehow being the next step in societal evolution instead of an elaborately maintained invisible chain yanking civilization backwards into a new form of slavery. By playing on the desires of people, (mostly teenagers and young adults) to socialize and share themselves with others in a way that is more controlled and feels private (though it is not), social networks have become a powerful force in the changing world, and an endless well from which to gather information on individuals like never before. With Facebook as the current leader of the industry, social networks have so successfully lured people from all over the globe into sharing information about themselves– from the private details of their personal lives to the momentary mental chatter between their ears– that a person from only a decade ago if placed here today would shiver when first exposed to the new norms of our more socially open culture. 2 Likes |

Facebook is a tool used not only by its subscribers to meet new people and monitor the activities of friends, but also by law enforcement when investigating crimes, and by employers to screen potential hires. Companies today view the Facebook profiles of applicants. This fact is already widely known and accepted as “normal”. It is likely that in the near future it will be next to impossible to get a professional job without having a Facebook profile. Thanks to the continuing implosion of the world economy, employers hold a greater advantage over their workforces and are obsessed with analysis, numbers, and categorization more now than ever before. Facebook tracks you Many never question Facebook’s motivation in gathering the information that it commonly asks for and retains. At its core Facebook is a database used to track individuals and groups. It tracks not only the information its members post but– according to a Facebook employee who spoke to Rumpus Online Magazine – every click its members make while on the website. This means that– forgetting about the information you volunteer for a moment (such as favorite activities, religion, sexual orientation, family members)– Facebook knows which links posted by friends you click on, which friends’ profiles you visit, and which pictures you view. This information alone says a lot about a person’s interests, world view, personal associations, and even romantic yearnings…information that could easily be used to create psychological profiles of targeted subjects. Along with that, Facebook games provide useful information about a person by cloaking personality questions inside a gift wrap of fantasy. www.infowars.com/facebook-pied-piper-of-the-new-world-orders-technological-control-grid/ 1 Like |

Dr.Gboy:What about the use of smartphones? Monitored or not. They are there to make things easier. Database are to keep records. That's why you get statistics for things involving Internet eg number of downloads, number of sms sent or received. Number of people who spend more times online on Facebook, number of people who are being referred per day via Facebook etc. Who get time to dey monitor millions of users. Our privacy is stored in their server but not accessible by staff except the otherwise. That was why Google sacked one of his staff for checking someone's privacy |
