Why Making Facebook Private Won't Protect You?

- Because posting something you consider private on facebook (aka publishing it on the Internet) is stupid and careless
- Because facebook employees have unrestricted access to your account
- Because it will be hard if not impossible to *actually* remove your information from their servers and backups
- Because facebook contracts moderating content to outsourcing firms and everything you post there risks being reviewed by an under-vetted, unfulfilled person on a dollar an hour in an internet café in Marrakech.

This is for all you "If you haven't done anything wrong, what do you have to hide?" and "You're one in a million, nobody cares about your insignificant neck-beard life" apologists: Don't you see why it is bad that all that private information is aggregated and under the control of a single entity?
Even if it is done with reasonable safeguards and the best of intentions, which is definitely not the case with facebook, the simple fact that all this information exists online, tied to your real name, means that the potential for abuse is immense. And this is time it's not even facebook doing the abusing and profiteering, it's just an external third party.

And when you've been unemployed for a substantial amount of time and you are desperate for a job, who has more power over you than a potential employer?

Give up your privacy, pledge allegiance to your employer. Don't you love the neofeudalist world we live in?

They caught him about 8 months ago. He has allegedly been an informant since then, which must have given him more than enough time to ponder on how he got caught.

From the Fox News article:

"Anonymous is believed to have caused billions of dollars in damage to governments, international banks and corporations"

Emphasis mine.

One of his last tweet before the arrest:

"They read your mails. Listen to your calls. Break into your wireless routers+sniff your traffic. GPS cars. I'm not talking about terrorists." https://twitter.com/#!/anonymouSabu/status/176683665919721472

I guess he really knew what he was talking about.

What do you mean "pretty soon"?

There is currently no meaningful debate in American politics, only posturing on superficial or social issues and very strong bi-partisan agreement on:

- Less civil liberties, more state surveillance (NDAA, warrantless wiretapping etc.)
- Interventionist foreign policy, supported by an over-sized military-industrial complex
- Unconditional support for Wall Street (no meaningful regulation)
- Corporate interests always take precedence/outweigh individual citizens' rights and well being
- A political system with a high barrier of entry (unchecked campaign spending, no representation for small parties)

If a worker acts like a potential human, sending a personal email, visiting an unregistered website or trying to conduct union activities on site, the analyst might push a button and watch a screen video of the officer's last hour of work. Once a case is made that something might be imminent, it is checkmate: the worker is thwarted.

How about a phone that can use two SIM cards at the same time? So we can actually make carriers compete against each other. This is a feature that Android is sorely lacking.

What, carriers don't want any features that might actually empowers their consumers or helps them get away from the "subsidized" (aka bought on credit) phone handset scam? Not to mention, having multiple plans or prepaid SIM cards is also a great way to dramatically cut international roaming costs.

Remember the technologically advanced 90s? Phones used to have that feature back then.

So does my wife.

The ministry of agriculture is not in charge of Gundam. The Gundam ministry is in charge of Gundam.

Remember kids, raising taxes on the rich is class warfare! But lowering their taxes is "incentivizing job creation" and "stimulating the economy".

Funny how class warfare is such a one way street to the right. For some reason it's never class warfare when "job creators" lobby federal and state officials to end all the ground gained by organized labor since the industrial revolution.

Or have slashdot polls really being going downhill lately? Both unfunny *and* uninteresting? Several times in row?

A Bitcoin mining trojan you say? Pfff. That's nothing.

I heard someone created a Trojan that repeatedly posts articles *about* Bitcoin on news sites.
