After several months of inactivity on this blog, I absolutely wanted to revive it, technological developments are constantly taking over ... we go again with a rant against Facebook ...
NO TO FACEBOOK!
Oh! it is known social networks (sites where the members are related to common interests) . I already talked about the loss of individual freedoms that engendered ... But I forgot to introduce you worse ... much worse: Facebook ... Besides the fact that you disclose your identity ... it is operated by Facebook! An infringement on individual freedoms because with your legal agreement ... but what do the police? 1) Facebook: a social network ... who exploits you!
1.1) A social network Facebook is
like many other similar sites: a social network. You
register, share your pictures, moods, ... while more or less revealing your identity to the world. hitherto unexceptional even if it annoys me already ... Indeed, why do you show the world even though you do not know who will consult with your profile ... This will know everything about you, your relationships, ... In short: a "Big Brother" that you created yourself without realizing it! Certainly you can complain about my pessimistic side ... but the facts are there: on Internet the world does not want you well ... I do not blame the marketers and other perverse personalized advertising, but I throw at you (but gently so as not to hurt you ...).
In fact, you're the first to complain about spam (junk mail), spam that you are also becoming more envoys personalized (Dear Mr. X, as you focus the study of flies and we can offer you a microscope [...]) exceptionnel. But you look good ... more precisely, you suffer in part because of you.
spammers and other advertisers do not use the information you disclose without your knowledge as you ... but when you register on these sites, check out the little lines that you are asked to accept by checking a small box you will see that these data will be made visible and can be used except by the site itself Similarly, by persons external to the site that they view your profile. Ah yes ... do not believe that the task of collecting personal data is daunting: it is done automatically by robots. Robots also more efficient now because some are able to effectively pass information from several different locations. Clearly, the more you sign up on "social networking" or testify on your blogs characters or by leaving comments, the more you learn about yourself. You thought George Orwell was utopian?
1.2) you violated Facebook ... with your consent!
This is serious! Very serious! Facebook, in addition it is a social network, you fly (finally acquired since you allow) all your rights to what you publish. Yes, everything you post may be used freely by unrequited facebook: personal data, photos, texts, videos, ... That still does not make you jump up? But imagine what they can do with these data: for sale thousands of sites for personalized advertising, use your records for promotional campaigns, disclose your personal information anywhere on the web ... In short, this is terrible because you have no recourse to the use they can make of your information. You may say that this rule is there for ease in managing the site. Well you're wrong! It is easy to manage such a site even if the disclaimer is consistent. But it is never necessary that the site acquires all the rights: a simple permission to publish enough.
1.3) The new Patriot Act ... You know the
Patriot Act? It is a statutory provision passed by the U.S. following the attacks of September 11, 2001. This allows them to apply to any company's personal information and that any individual without that you do not know anything! Unacceptable I hope you exclaim! At worst, some say it's for security (inter) national ... Moving on. Well
with Facebook is the new Patriot Act. Except that your data will not the government, but in any society who will pay dearly enough to get them ... and you will not see anything or money or transactions ...
2) Tips and yell
Now you're now aware. So here are some tips:
- Do not sign up on this kind of site
- Well if you really want, not give out any personal
- Be vigilant in informing you post, know that it can be read by anyone!
And my rant:
- Do not complain over getting spam, you'll have tried!
- Do not be surprised to find several results pages by typing your name into a search engine
- Stop believing that the web is great and there is no risk ...
Facebook is dangerous. Stop to believe in an ideal web where "everyone is beautiful, everyone is nice." But hey, I recognize nonetheless that the Internet is paved with good intentions ...
