Your Opinion on Facebook

[MonkFan4Life]

Yeah out of 71 people there is one person that I can say that I don't know. If I do then I met them in passing but we are connected in a way. Everyone else I requested were folks that I knew well. This can be fun but it can be addictive. I'm sure the "fun" of it all will run out by tomorrow.

Bump. Saw this video and decided to resurrect this thread. So anyways, I'm not sure how serious Anonymous is about hacking FB, and I think if they did do it they are capable of doing something as large-scale as that, but I don't know why they'd give FB notice months in advance that they are going to do it, as I'm sure FB will spend a lot of time now upgrading their security to prepare for it, credible threat or not. I've had my FB deactivated on and off again for a few months now, and I'm sure I'll deactivate it again before Nov. 5th, but I highly doubt that will do anything to protect my security since FB probably has all my info already. Either way, if Anonymous succeeds in shutting FB down, either temporarily or forever, I probably won't miss it too much. All my important friends got my number anyways, so it won't be the end of the world.

And here's the video, btw.

Same here. Idw my info being exploited for financial gain by FB. It's too late for me to do anything about it now but if what they're saying is true then by all means shut it down.

It's more of a challenge if you point to the D Lineman and say "That's where Riggins is headed, see if you can stop him".

Me gusta Anonymous.

Kind of interesting the Redskin sub culture of Facebook. I noticed that people will put their fan affiliation as there middle name. For example Joe "Redskins Rule" Smith. Anyway once you add one of these people, you'll get suggestions for lots of other Redskin fans. This one girl had like 800 friends and 300 were classified as "Redskin family", most having a Redskin middle name.

Am I the only person on here that has made the conscious decision to let their internet persona be an extension of them in reality? I mean, if you wanted to find my real name and some basic information about me, I don't think you'd have to look too much further than Google.

I know that gives a lot of people the creepers, but I don't see what the harm is. I don't put information on the internet if I don't want it there. I don't use Facebook's privacy settings because I'm not under the illusion that I'm in the business of selectively disseminating info about myself to the public. If you really want to see a number of pictures of me doing silly things, or if a potential employer wants to see me doing silly things, they're more than welcome to. I don't break the law, pretty much ever.

I feel like I'm in the vast minority on this one. I think the internet (and facebook, and blogs) is a powerful tool to go make a name and or career for yourself. You can now make your own self a personal brand. If that's not your cup of tea and you're planning on using the internet as a one-way relationship, I guess I can understand that. I'm just not that kind of person, I guess.

What a sham. It's a shame guys can get away with stuff like this. Rob a bank, and you get 50 years in prison. Rob the nation and billions of dollars, and you get a severance package worth hundreds of millions of dollars. The golden rule. He who steals all the gold, gets to decide on the rules.
