howdy this fine day sunlit7! I hope things are going well for you. can you tell me what city or do you like to stay pretty anonymous?

I am from Grand Rapids MI, I don't mind that as much, anyone wishing to find out anything more than that would have to work pretty hard at hacking someone's exact location. When our local news station went from using Disqus comment board to FB everyone had to sign in under their real name. I won't do that anymore, one night on a discussion about illegal immigration someone looked up under the property records my name, posted a picture of my house and address and encouraged people to come demonstrate outside. I had to call the news station and have them remove it. Now I have a fake FB account to go on their site with, no more of that crap for me.

howdy again sunlit7! wow that is some scary stuff. At least you aren't going to be using a real fb account again, smart move!

I still have my old FB account, I just don't use it to blog on comment sections. As a matter of fact I used it the other night on here when someone said that FB was banning search results for marijuana, if you link something up using your FB account it will sometimes go to your homepage...so I used my Quite Frankly account. I couldn't believe the news lets me post under that name knowing it's not a real name....I wasn't worried though, if they'd banned it I would have went in under Quite, Frank. lol.

haha! sunlit7 what do you think facebook is trying to do these days? I thought they said they were going to stop gathering and selling people's personal information?

They came up with a new privacy policy, every time I go on FB it pops up and I hit later. I think a lot of people do, they don't care people can track them or their being tracked whether it's their location or what they tend to like so they can aim advertising at them. I don't have a cell phone that enables people to track me so I don't care, I would if I had one though, I guess it depends on how private a person you are. Young people probably don't like it that their parents can track them or maybe someone who has a boyfriend they can't get rid of, otherwise I think most people like interacting and letting people know where they are at. I've seen some friends on FB were it pops up and says so and so is at this place or that. What I think is that like everything to do with Trump those who lost the election want to take it out on somebody, just like Hillary...lol. This recent thing with FB wanting banking information isn't that they wanted personal information per say they wanted to hook up with banks to offer credit cards to account holders, if someone held a account at that bank FB would then advertise those bank cards on FB to their customers. I don't know how personal one would consider that but it didn't get sold to the public that way....not with the madness of the media and people who are still looking for a escape goat for their loss. Zuckerburg will be the fall guy until they can come up with someone else more pertinent to blame.

hhaha! yes Ma'am you have some good points there. I just don't like a bunch of ads coming at me from anybody but I've gotten used to it, I probably wouldn't care that much but I'm never on facebook anyway.

did you see Fear yet?
