Amen! I don't like Facebook, either.

I don't want to be found by people I'm trying to keep out of my life!

I actually took great delight, when nada joined facebook, in denying her friend

request. I was a total brat about it, too...let it sit for days and days just

to mess with her (and I know it did, because my brother made a comment about

" aren't you going to accept it? " ). Then I gleefully clicked " ignore " . I

figure...I haven't spoken to her in 2 1/2 years, and I'm not allowing her access

to my life through facebook...especially not access where she gets to comment!!

Then again...when I see that some of my cousins (who I am close to and who have

told me how crazy they think she is) have accepted her requests...well, ouch.

That stings a bit. And it sends me into worry that she's going to try to use

them and put them in the middle. I guess I have to let them handle that on

their own, though.

Facebook is dangerous. It informed my nada that my sister had

moved to land despite the fact that my sister blocked her

from accessing anything. Apparently Facebook decided that it

thought Nada should know because it thought they must be

related. Nada took too much joy in telling me that she'd told

Facebook that it was wrong and they weren't related.

I want nothing to do with Facebook myself. It feels too invasive

of my privacy for me to feel comfortable with using it. The

potential problems far outweigh the benefits as far as I'm

concerned. Nada loves facebook though. When she lost her job,

she started spending all day on Facebook, playing games

including some sorority sisters game that sounds like it is

directed at high school or college girls. She makes all sorts of

" friends " playing these games. I find these friendships a bit

creepy given that they mostly seem to be young adults. One day

she told me that I had a new brother in Thailand because she had

" adopted " one of them.

Hear,hear! There was just today another (yet another!!) news story about

Facebook erroneously publishing information about its subscribers. Using these

I have found that FB bothers me a lot too. I saw a girl I went to high school

with was on my step sister's friends list. I asked the HS friend how she knew

her and she said she didn't that my step sister friend requested her.

Uhhh, odd.

they make all their dough off of 'behavioral marketing' which basically watching

everything you do and targeting ads to you. sharing your info with advertisers

so they know how to market you. a computer geek friend once called it an e-mail

chain letter moved uptown, which I agree with. I don't dislike the idea, but I

think internet should be anonymous, for safety sake, putting your whole life out

there is dangerous in terms of stranger-danger and doubly so for people who have

crazies we are related to.

I personally think if someone is going to get rich off of my info it should be

me, not some wall st. exec or advertising firm.

Does everyone know how to block? What you do, is if you get a request or see

someone's comment or anything that you don't want, you click on their

profile, and then it says " report/block " and choose block. After that, even

if you have a friend in common, they won't see your conversations with that

friend. And you won't come up if they search for you etc.

I say a) your FOO shouldn't determine your choices. Don't let them keep you

away from Facebook if its a good tool for you. And just considering my

situation, I have to have that. And I'm easy to find anyway because I work

in advertising and news. Nothing stays private there.

my bpd SIL does this. She friend requests relatives in my family she has never

met (some of whom now can't stand her based on things she has done). She has a

huge friend list. When i was on there I was very discerning but it still felt

like way too much exposure. At first I had my whole family blocked so they

wouldn't even know I was on there and it wouldn't be an issue, and then I

increasingly made my profile more and more private the more I learned about how

facebook was profiting from the sale of info and giving information to

'partners' without permission from users. What really did it for me was learning

that they could obtain info about people I friended via me, without any kinds of

permissions, which I felt was going too far. The idea of something like facebook

is not intrinsically wrong but the CEO of that org is pretty sociopathic in

terms of his decisions about how to exploit his subscribers monetarily. When I

deleted my facebook it was in direct response to his repeated unethical behavior

and decisions about privacy features.

[Guest guest]

my bpd SIL does this. She friend requests relatives in my family she has never

met (some of whom now can't stand her based on things she has done). She has a

huge friend list. When i was on there I was very discerning but it still felt

like way too much exposure. At first I had my whole family blocked so they

wouldn't even know I was on there and it wouldn't be an issue, and then I

increasingly made my profile more and more private the more I learned about how

facebook was profiting from the sale of info and giving information to

'partners' without permission from users. What really did it for me was learning

that they could obtain info about people I friended via me, without any kinds of

permissions, which I felt was going too far. The idea of something like facebook

is not intrinsically wrong but the CEO of that org is pretty sociopathic in

terms of his decisions about how to exploit his subscribers monetarily. When I

deleted my facebook it was in direct response to his repeated unethical behavior

and decisions about privacy features.
