Guys, what do you think about FB. Is it true:

*Timeline can track your location
*Liking pages can be used to get your information
*You can never delete an account (everything will be saved and you can always come back)
*CIA or governments can override FB at anytime and get into your business
*Biological imaging






i could go on and on but heres an example:

Emmm....the timeline tracking your location is true.

I don't know about the rest.

It's obvious that fb is not just a social network but a FBI tool use for tracking criminals when the need arises.

Even if it's true, there are several ways that you can adopt to protect your online privacy.

For me, if you tracking me with my IP, your wasting your dem fùcking time cos every website I visit, my IP changes to the IP location of that very website or the IP of the country that owns the web! Am more or like an online ghost!

OgaMadam: how do you do that?
I use proXPN's VPN(visual private network) and so many other VPN simultaneously thereby becoming incredibly unnecessary to keep track of my online records

Like i've pointed out times without number, everything on the internet is tapped.

Your phone is tapped

Your residence is tapped

Every word that comes out of your mouth is analyzed carefully and reworded to be used against you.

Even your thoughts are the subject of mindreading attempts.

So, facebook's own is just one of many.
