Facebook keeps growing despite scandals and privacy outrage

Kind of proves the point that many under 30 couldn't find their own a$$es with both hands, a searchlight and a map from a proctologist.

Imagine knowing that Facebook is selling their private information, tracking them online and inviting other businesses to read their private correspondence...AND still not telling Facebook to stuff it where the sun don't shine.

And some websites come up with the dumbest schemes, they ask for credit card infos even if they state 'they don't need it and their service is free'...like hell I'mma give it to them! smh!!

I trust my friends to be smart enough to take their own privacy in hand.

It's not a problem at all. Those 3 or 4 people were earlier arrested for illegal activity associated with Trump's inauguration. It's just common sense to investigate who else may form the basis for a conspiracy to violate federal laws.

Bullshiiite.

More than a million people were not involved in any DOJ search warrant. Pulling your facts out of the ether again!

The ACLU is not a credible source for anything. They exaggerate for political effect because they're a leftist lunatic political organization.

You want to be a third world banana republic, you'll be treated like a third world banana republic

Are you talking of the kuklux klan back in the days ? The hanging ? Or the indian genocide ?
Those in charlottesville yesterday ?

And differently but no less violent those who made it possible to murder Kenedy in the 60's

How is now more violent now than before ?

Factions ? Why use that term now ?

Hey, no skin off my nose if you and other facebook users want facebook tracking your every move online, on your private telephone numbers AND all the people in your email contact list...and selling your private user information to advertisers. If you want to give up your own privacy rights, go for it but just make sure the people in your email contact lists don't mind either.

As for me, I'll take a pass on all that.

We have all been being monitored for a long time. As tech improves exponentially the ability to actually sift thru the oceans of data also increases.

Yes, shura, before the counter culture freaks .it was anyone who'd ever said "goodday" to a suspected communist; J Edgar was convinced that the Kennedys were commies, by the way... and MLK. Three dead men and one thoroughly discredited

During the 60s it was uppity blacks and hippies who were harassed and imprisoned as often as possible,

Today it's people who consider Tromp unsuitable and illegitimate.

All "collateral damage".. but its way worse to receive unsolicited ads on fb! And way more important to mock, intimidate and BEAT people with different viewpoints. To make assumptions about what they think without listening. To use anything they say as an excuse for a soap box on socialism of another country being a dandy excuse for continuing to meddle in others governments.

Oh, and i cited the aclu because they were involved in that case. At one time i also "liked" Sarah Palins page, because that was the only way to see what she posted firsthand. Sometimes others shed light in things not found in one's "approved" box.

10/4? Over and out
