Your Facebook information

[Jon GibbsParticipant @jongibbs59756]

This looks like negligence on Facebook's part rather than maliciousness IMHO but I'm no expert.

CA is very interesting though. It's owned by Robert Mercer, a big Pro-Republican donor, who also owns a firm called AggregateIQ that also worked on Brexit. Steve Bannon was a Vice President of CA who seems to have links with Farage and Arron Banks.

For the details of the web of intrigue between CA, AggregateIQ, Brexit and Trump, this makes good reading…

It seems that CA did some work on Brexit, gratis!!

Well all this confirms my decision to leave the use of “Facebook” entirely to my grandchildren!

I'm not on Facebook or any of the other Social Media sites. If I'm required to enter a Phone number I use the one on an old SIM I no longer use. Use "DUCK DUCK GO" on the internet, which allegedly doesn't track you.

I did that for years. My brother-in-law rang the number, (not realising it was my old one), the person that answered said there were calls and texts every day for me ….

This is how they win, you are totally & blissfully unaware aren't you? This forum is social media. Whilst the owners of it might be thoroughly nice guys, they don't neccessarily scrutinise exactly what is going on in its workings.

If you on a PC, download & run SUPERantispyware. If you have ZERO tracking cookies then you OK.

If you on any device that runs Android, a phone or tablet perhaps, then don't bother, you have ZERO privacy to start with.

I prefer your approach Norman.

Leave koobecraf for the kids.

………..nor the TV licencing authority. They automatically assume every house has a TV, so investigate any home that does not have a licence.

They can investigate my house as much as they like. Just wasting more taxpayer money. We must be due for another letter, but I simply ignore them these days. Only a bit over 5 years and we might get a license, I suppose. But it will still be what I consider as a waste of time if the TV is on more than a minimum.

On email addys, my wife makes lace and follows all sorts of other crafts, too. She once had lace and bits as her email addy. Some of the emails she received were interesting, to say the least. Forced her to change it eventually, I think.

I have only recently started to leave my mobile phone switched on, as my wife may need to contact me more often, but for the last 12 years the mobile was switched off whenever not needed.

Car can be driven by others and I use proper money to pay my way, so actually proving my travelling itineries would be harder than for most. Only when visiting my brother could it be fairly well assumed it was me driving/passengering, without reasonable doubt.

Have to start talking about explosives, robbing banks and other contentious issues, etc while siri is switched on. See if we get attention from the security services, plod, social sevices, etc.

I have not owned a TV set since 1987 when I threw it out of the window into the hedge to demonstrate to our 4 children that I meant what I said about arguing over programs. Since then I have amassed a collection of over 500 of that crummy agency's threatening letters of quasi legal language which are computor generated and automaticaly despatched. The language is designed to intimidate but unless you can be observed ( and that includes them looking at your ISP's internet search results) viewing or recording TV there is no statuary obligation to respond to their letters, in fact if you do then you are tacitly allowing them visit you to check, so do not respond………you don't have to!

As for winding up GCHQ , UNcle Sam's Snoopers and all the other state noses sniffing around the interweb, I do the same and quite happily search about whatever I happen to be interested in at the time . As someone has already said, Orwell and Huxley really were far ahead of their time and government uses fear and threats as a control, reminding us of penalties for non compliance.

Not much longer to go before I tell where to poke their licence

[DMBParticipant @dmb]

Earlier this year I had 3 callsin one day from aman with an Indian accent telling me that my bank details were out of date and he wanted the new details to ensure that the Telephone Preference Service could be updated. Told him it was a free service but either that told him he was wasting his time as he had been rumbled, or it was the rest of my reply got me blacklisted by him!

Not had very many calls about other types of scams since.
