Hate FB. Be leary of FB, especially it's "TAG" feature. Facial Recognition technology at its slickest and best. Pretty soon they'll have the face of everyone on the globe in a DB along with a name or account associated with it.

Facebook is out of control with censorship. This post and one of Doc's about a recently banned member's anencephaly reminded me of this report about a mother being banned by Facebook for posting pictures of her baby who was born with a birth defect:


Facebook bans mother for posting photos of baby with birth defect

MEMPHIS, TN -

(WMC-TV) - A Mid-South mother has been banned from Facebook for the photos she posted of her newborn son.

Grayson James Walker was born on February 15, 2012. He was born with Anencephaly, a rare neural tube birth defect in which a baby is born without parts of the brain and skull. Action News 5 shared the Walker's story about their sons eight hours of life shortly after he died.

Heather Walker recently posted pictures of Grayson without his hat on.

"Not long after, Facebook deleted them because of the content" she said. "They allow people to post almost nude pictures of themselves, profanity, and so many other things but I'm not allowed to share a picture of God's beautiful creation."

Walker and her Facebook friends decided to re-post baby Grayon's photos in protest, and the mother is now on a 24-hour ban from the social networking website.

According to Facebook's community standards page, there are nine types of content that may be deemed offensive and removed:

• Violence and Threats
• Self-Harm
• Bullying and Harassment
• Hate Speech
• Graphic Violence
• Nudity and Pornography
• Identity and Privacy
• Intellectual Property
• Phishing and Spam

Walker says her photos of Grayson do not fall into any of those categories.

"I see all kinds of stuff, women's body parts, almost nudity, which is one of their standards, people cursing each other out, just profanity," said Walker.

Amazed at the amount of support she's received from all over the country, Walker says the photo is raising awareness.

"Just in two days, all these people have messaged me telling me how much God has used Grayson's life to touch them and to work in their hearts and to make them appreciate the children they have, that they have healthy children," she explained.

But not all messages have been in favor of the photos and to those people, Walker says they can friend her on Facebook at their own discretion.

"If you're my friend and you want to see the picture then look at it, but if you don't, just like any TV show or anything else you watch, if you don't want to see it you don't have to," said Walker. "But I want to share this with people just like any other person wants to share their baby or their child."

What's Facebook? Is that like Fuckbook??? [)][)][)]

 

[forzudo]

must be doing something right to have gotten those silly bitches in a twist. I think they do these things out of cognitive biases they're not even conscious of: "we can't just have independent-minded men going around and making their own minds up about what's right for them, that's too much responsibility. let's keep everything tame here so we can all feel safe, and if you want to get wild go post some funny cat pictures or youtube videos. use only the drugs prescribed by your teachers or court orders and everything will be fine."

or maybe their lawyers just tell them to police this stuff, I don't know. same thing, really.

Fuck Facebook.

By Eric Boehm | Watchdog.org

On Facebook, you can share posts and pictures with friends.

But at Facebook, they can (and do) share your posts and pictures and personal information with government agents all around the world.

Facebook released a report Tuesday detailing their level of involvement with government requests for data. Since users willingly share so much about themselves on Facebook and other social media tools, it seems government agencies are looking to take advantage of the information – and Facebook is more than happy to comply.

THUMBS DOWN: Facebook willingly shares data with governments around the world.

THUMBS DOWN: Facebook willingly shares data with governments around the world.

“As we have said many times, we believe that while governments have an important responsibility to keep people safe, it is possible to do so while also being transparent,” said Colin Stretch, an attorney for the social networking mega-site. “Government transparency and public safety are not mutually exclusive ideals.”

Stretch assured users that Facebook scrutinizes each request and maintains a “very high legal bar” that governments must clear before users’ private information is passed along.

Even so, the numbers are startling.

In total, Facebook received more than 26,000 separate requests for information about nearly 39,000 different accounts from 72 different national governments during the first six months of 2013.

And guess which country’s government made the most requests for information from Facebook – so many, in fact, that it is more than all other requests from all other national governments in the entire world, combined.

Go ahead, guess.

Here’s the chart of the top 10:

Facebook

It does raise some questions – like, if government surveillance is meant to stop terrorist attacks, are terrorists really posting “about to build a bomb” on their status updates?

Or, perhaps the government is collecting Facebook information for other reasons – particularly since we already know the Drug Enforcement Agency frequently gets “tips” from the National Security Agency and others (then lies about where those tips come from).

And Facebook’s willingness to share personal data with the governments of the world seems even stranger one week after Joe Sullivan, the company’s chief security officer, said “it is never acceptable to compromise the security or privacy of other people.”

Of course in that instance he was talking about one user compromising another user’s privacy. If Facebook is going to compromise everyone’s privacy at once, that must be better – somehow.

Now we really need that “dislike” button.

This is a good reason to delete all of your pictures (with identifiable facial features) from Facebook and social networks.

Tracking is moving offline as computers get smarter, and face recognition technology is gaining steam rapidly with distributed systems. There are already prototype glasses that identify people in your field of view and superimpose their names on them – such devices will end anonymity. [...]

Google Glass is probably the most well-known example of a personal heads-up display, but there are many similar devices in the works. Some of them have facial recognition technology and cover your entire field of view. This means they have the ability to superimpose people’s names directly onto what you see.

Let’s take that again, because it sounds like science fiction but already exists: there are glasses that automatically identify people you see and superimpose their names right by their faces as you see them.

If this sounds scary, it’s because it is. This makes it possible for Law Enforcement to find wanted people with a minimum of patrol resources. That’s not even science fiction – this technology already exists.

Glasses for law enforcement that highlights suspected criminals directly in the field of view of police officers were field tested five years ago. They were tested by filling a cinema hall with people, and programming the officers’ glasses with the faces of some simulated “criminals” that were highlighted on sight for the officers.

It’s not hard to see the downsides of this in terms of the social contract. If you can’t take a single step outside without being recorded and tracked, how does that change our behavior?

But it sounds like an awesome social aid, that’s because it is that, too. I frequently forget people’s names and pretty much everybody I know complain about the same thing – the social requirement to recognize professional and personal connections is so strong, that I would buy such a device in a heartbeat, especially if it was small and unintrusive enough that the people around me didn’t see me using it.

With the addition of face tagging from Facebook and other sources, there is effectively already a gigantic database of what everybody looks like.

It is futile to even attempt to try keeping back this technology, simply because everybody will want it, not just governments: everybody. But it completely rewrites the social contract – online as well as offline. When everybody is identified all the time, by everybody watching, things change.

Outdoor anonymity will be severely eroded in ten years, and will be effectively gone in twenty.

Hate to tell you guys but, there is no way to live half off of the grid. You either drop completely out of the picture or they have your information. Granted, shit like FB makes it easier for information to be gathered. If you have a state issued driver's license, have been in DOC, or have even been on probation for something minor,your information is in the grid.

Got to love our First Amendment rights being tossed right out the window, I will be deleting my FB this evening

same here its a catalog of sheeple.

 

[dper726]

Facebook is pretty damn boring site. Now instagram is much more creative and appealing. How the hell is Facebook stock even doing these days? have they finally convinced everyone it was scam from the start of it going public? I won't be searching they're stock, but did they fool me if they're above intro.

 

[rutman]

That's another reason why I'm not on FB.....

 

[jdam]

Do a quick search for weed and marijuana and see what pops up... just found one called "Marijuana - just for fun". That pisses me off... I used to smoke weed and it was hard to come by a disciplined weed smoker, but bodybuilders... I've never met more disciplined, consistent, hard-working people until I started training. The media can pump out whatever bullshit they want about steroids, but when it comes to people exchanging information in order to use them safely, they are banned. Just found a few on cocaine too with people partying...
We are better off not being a part of that.

Got to love our First Amendment rights being tossed right out the window, I will be deleting my FB this evening

and now Meso bans Facebook.

 

[flenser]

I always figured if I stayed off FB when all my friends were there, that would single me out. I prefer to hide in plain sight, and it only takes a few minutes to post some mindless drivel a couple of times a month.

 

[Voltrader]

I hate FB but as far as a stock goes I just picked some up. The face recognition thing and the fact they are tied in with the government. You can't bet against it but you do not have to support it. I have no problem making a lil gain on it though. Sorry Millard. I am a trader we are bottom feeders. Its business not personal because personally I hate it. 58 bucks a share coming off of 72 couldn't help it. I feel bad because I do love Meso. Meso's better off not being on there anyways.
