Zero come back to what, a confusing made up conversation.
You are aware of these things called cookies, that are used for tracking and is far from a FB only thing.

You are again showing how clueless you are on what happened,the the technology etc.


So let's take a leaf out of your crap posts.

As said in similar threads people should be using add blockers, ghostery and similar,if you think FB is the only place that tracks and makes money. Well.

You didn't get it?

FB asked about data deletion and took the word of a company over legal proof...

As for homology...This should be regulated...Dating app...sign in with FB....Thats fine...You don't sign up for this or have the control over this when you create your FB account.

"Security settings" when signing up to FB

Allow Match share your data with third parties

If I sign up to match using FB then I should have the choice what FB data match gets...and the knowledge what match can do with this data...

The root into match is FB...So FB have the responsibility to allow you to lock this away. Even MZ has mentioned this...



You're too easy

after the fact!

After what fact, after the data had been copied to external servers,well yes. You can't exactly draw up legal documents before such a breach. It was allready against t&cs to do what they did. It was before it all went public. As it turned out date teh legal documents they didn't delete it.

I mean what don't you get?

My point is you are clueless as shown multiple times on the last few posts.you ahvent bothered looking into this at all and just assumed you knew what it was about.

Vacuous post...

Give me something to respond to. You're just repeating yourself...

I could say the same about you..having quashed your posts thrice...

Give me something
 
Why so you can ignore them again, I've already pointed out multiple issues you are wrong about and you totlay ignored them, whilst just typing odd meaningless posts.
 
Procedure wasnt followed correctly seems to be the biggest thing here.

There's no point having policies if there aren't checks and balances to ensure they're being followed.

FB took the company at its word that they hadn't copied or sold data the company lied to Fb so obviously takes the majority of the blame but Facebook had no means or set up to validate what they were told by the company which means they were a bit negligent with thier customers data. Part of being alowed the data should be opening your system up to Fb checks to validate it is being used correctly

How about the ones you got wrong.
Regulations, tracking, legal contract not just a request to delete for a start.

OK

what did I say about regulation that was wrong?

What did I say about tracking that was wrong?

What did I say about an After the fact contract when the data was already leaked?

Where does Facebook sell your data?

This is exactly the point - I believed, and knew, thought, that it was for targeted advertising, and it is, but it has become apparent it goes so much further, as does the collection of data.

The point is we don't know, and don't control it, no matter what the site or members say.

To the point of buying yourself into power (AKA Trump)

Also having read some posts in this thread it is fundamentally clear that people who think they have data on FB "that doesn't matter" clearly have no idea what is going on "under the hood"

Its not just what is on your FB account. FB tracks you even when you are not logged onto it.

I was coming to post something along these lines. It knows where you go and when, what apps you use and when, what you've said in FB Messenger etc. I'm not all that bothered, I don't do anything interesting enough to be concerned by that I guess, but as you say, I think people think it's just about knowing what they 'liked' and it's much deeper than that.

what drove your desire?
Click to expand...

I went on a course in 2012 and the people I met their wanted to stay in contact so I made a Facebook account. Not heard from any of them since so have no reason to have Facebook for them. The reason I still have an account is some long term friends added me and it's the easiest way for them to get hold of me. And I get the 5% code for CDKeys ;)

Well as far as we know they don't, that's the point. Given you don't have anything to the contrary then what is the issue?

No

I have always assumed that whatever I put on social media sits in the public domain.

That's why I restrained from uploading knob shots.

A lot of people seem to think that the only "personal data" facebook have is the stuff they have uploaded.
I doubt facebook really cares about the pictures of your pets or you sharing a picture of a funny meme.

Have you looked around the Overclockers shop site recently? Facebook knows that. It knows which products you've looked at and for how long. It knows which links you've clicked on to get there.
Same goes for most other sites you'll visit. (but, as far as I can see, it doesn't know which forum threads you've clicked on ;) )
That is the personal data which is valuable to facebook. Knowing your browsing history, searches, products you look at, etc.
