Let me answer that one for you and Wahalla

My full name is on my facebook. I have nothing to hide and I am not hiding from anyone. My address is private and my birth year is fake (to thwart the ID stealers and Zuckerberg's targeted Advertizing)

I decide who can see what I post, and I never post anything that could come back to haunt me or embarrass me.

I control what others post on my page that others can see,

I control my facebook it does not control me.

^ Yep. ^ That. ^

I first opened a FB account in 2008 because my high school class decided to use FB as a means to communicate between us while planning our 30th reunion. It was free, and it was the easiest way to communicate as a committee. Unlike most high school classes, we really like each other - still - as a whole class... and a large portion of us are still in regular communication with each other and we still get together in groups. Dunno why or how, but we are apparently an anomaly in that respect. shrug The 138th Class of Philadelphia's Northeast High School was originally 996 of us... and about 30-some-odd of us have passed away by now. Of the remaining 960-ish, several hundred of us (maybe five hundred or so?) come to all of the reunions. Additionally, about 200 of us get together a couple of times a year, in two or three locations in Philly. I'm told this is almost unheard-of... We really like each other, I guess. We always will, I suppose. I know for fact that no other NEHS class has such camaraderie; the Alumni Association is puzzled by it. We can't explain it, other than we still love each other, we still want to be with each other, we still want to remain friends with each other. shrug

So, we all have our real names and our real birth dates (at least, the year) on our FB account. We all have that we are the 138th Class of Philadelphia's Northeast High School on it. Thus far, none of us has been hacked yet. We're smart enough to lock down our private info nice and tight, and to monitor that periodically AND to change our passwords periodically. most of us are also smart enough NOT to have anything whatsoever to do with ANY apps on FB. FB apps are 90% of the hacking problems. Don't permit apps, and you are highly unlikely to have major problems, it' just that simple! Is Farmville, Castle-whatever, Jewel-what-is-it, etc, REALLY worth getting hacked and having your personal info stolen??? I've never played those stupid games coz i don't permit apps... so smaddy who does, please tell me: Are they so good that they're worth that risk? Really???

Lock everything down tight so "Friends Only" can see it. Plain and simple. Who else needs to see your stuff? Who else needs to contact you? Why??

OK. DahJah might be a different case to that ^; I'm talking about personal use accounts right now, not business accounts.

I don't put any secrets on FB... or on J'com - or any other place on the 'Net, for that matter...
I'm ME. What I put on the 'Net is what I'd say (and do say) out loud to people in person to their face(s).
FB can't do anything with my FB content that can harm me, other than possibly illegal things. (ie - if FB used my image in a photoshopped pic for some illegal purpose, etc -- but my pix and text content "as is" is just fine legally)

So... Have at it, FB. An if you ever cross the line and do something actionable, we'll play in Court. have at it, FB. Give me whirl!


BTW, Xavier... same with J'com... Have at it, J'com. An if you ever cross the line and do something actionable, we'll play in Court. have at it, J'com. Give me whirl! (like I expect that's ever gonna happen... Not! dwl)

Although... dunno... come to think to it, Xavier..... some of your mods are SO over-the-top, they just might get you into hot legal water... Like Kia. She's so darn hotheaded and she spouts off with no provocation. You never know when she's gonna say something unprovoked and mean-spirited... and nassss-tyyyyyyy!!! And RichD. He'll stomp on someone before they know it. For absolutely no reason whatsoever. He just picks fights with one for no good reason. I tell ya, X! I could see either of them doing .......



*run gawn hide before either Kia or RichD reads this and comes to find me ... and really DOES turn into the monster I fallaciously (fallacious hell, I LIED) portrayed above ... I hope they've got their good sense of humor with them today - dwl - zoom*
