Bumping before I go to sleep.

I know people who use Facebook to keep in touch with family. I thought this might be useful to those who have it.

They track you even if you don’t have Facebook. A program called Centra. Zuckerburg was asked about it in Congress, they put up pictures of the program and how it works, and Zuckerburg pretended to not know about it and said he’d have to get back to them on that.

A new feature was added to Facebook in one of the latest updates, Off-Facebook Activity. This keeps tabs on your bank accounts, emails, apps on your phone. You can see what is there, clear the history, & turn it off.

I am pretty much screwed as my line of work relies heavily on social marketing.

Sometimes I wonder if Id be better off driving truck, or a physical delivery job.

Get a small Raspberry PI Zero with Wifi

Install Debian Linux System Lite

Install Pi-Hole

Switch off your DHCP on your router

Point your router DNS to your Pi-Hole

FILTER ALL YOUR INTERNET TRAFFIC ON PI-HOLE

It will make your internet faster too.

 Quoting: Paranoiaaaaa


Why not just use the internet to keep in touch with family? Why does anyone need fakebook? Texting, email, phone calls, all those things are something the internet can do from your phone WITHOUT fakebook!

Why are the general masses so easily brian-washed?

Thanks for this post. I use FB to stay in touch with relatives, and would delete it entirely otherwise. I am glad to be able to turn off stuff like this at least.

zuck: "people trust me. dumb fucks."

if y'all think toggling a setting to reduce tracking actually does anything other than flagging you for more collection, think again.

 Quoting: Paranoiaaaaa


No disrespect to you, but I never get that excuse people use to stay on Facebook.

Why can’t the family members just email each other or use the phone and call each other?
I don’t Facebook, my out of town parents and I send emails to each other or talk on the phone, same with some of my other relatives.
Just last week, I wrote and sent a letter to my aunt living in Florida.

No need for Facebook.

I used to think that because I had nothing to hide, that FB would be "safe" ... but then I realized that they whould have pictures, voice prints, my writing style, my friends and family, location ect ect ect all on file - to use against me, if I ever crossed them ... they have all they need to do their cgi magic to put words in my mouth to incriminate me

so I never joined facebook ...

Thanks but I do not think this affects me. I keep a strong separation between computers and gadgets such as cell phones. I don't do FaceBook from cell phones.

Unless just having FB on my computer (open on a tab in a browser) could somehow compromise my use of paypal or banking via the webpage my bank uses, I don't see it affecting me.
 Quoting: Icebear


I'm not sure, but it did show when I turned the activity off on my laptop. I'd check in your settings and see.

You think they allow you to turn ANY of that off?

they just say its off and stop showing YOU the data.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 74322544



EXACTLY.
And if you want to watch a few GOOG tracking apps shit blood turn off the biosensors on your phone.

Cudos on a fine post OP!!

America networks on FB, that's just the way it is. including a LOT of closet snob GLPers, some of which spout anti FB virtue signaling verbiage like a bunch of Mask Karens.

Sure we all know it's a piece of shit with more holes than the interior of the moon. I absolute cringe when I see the children put up pictures of the little ones the current situation being what it is.

The instructions appear to work. Took it a while to compile and appears to be saving as a zip that is taking forever to download. (choice of HTML or some other type it says 'may assist in loading to other platforms').]
Maybe it will txfer... to anyplace other than that getto.
Besides I would like a copy of it myself. Clone myself after I did and haunt that bastard spawn of a Rockefeller for a lifetime or two.
