Today I deleted my Facebook accounts. Haven’t trusted the site for a long time, ever since I was harassed to turn over my cell phone number to “protect your privacy.” Same goes for Google.
Facebook’s prevarication until caught allowing data mining of users for political purposes is its right. But it’s also the right of users to say so long, we’re out of here.
Even here in our little corner of the Internets I do everything possible to block spammers, cookie archiving, bots, or any other nefarious storage of personal information by unfriendlies. The fact that Facebook not only didn’t make a similar effort, but instead apparently welcomed abuses for profit, ought to provoke its customers to question further affiliation.
a big thank you thank you thank you to whomever it was on the trail a few years back that warned us about facebook. ever since I have avoided it’s siren call….missed out on some family news, selfies and such here and there, but hopefully escaped psychic capture and rendition. he/she deserves a well-deserved “I told you so” gloat.

The world’s last surviving male northern white rhino has died after months of ill health, his carers said.
Sudan, 45, lived at the Ol Pejeta Conservancy in Kenya. He was put to sleep on Monday after age-related complications worsened significantly.
His death leaves only two females – his daughter and granddaughter – of the subspecies alive in the world.

the guardian: Russian Roulette review: as Joe Biden said, ‘If this is true, it’s treason’
Whenever I finish a book like Russian Roulette, I ask myself the same question: why is anyone still debating whether there was collusion between the Russians and Donald Trump?
Like Collusion, a comprehensive volume by the Guardian’s Luke Harding, this narrative by investigative reporters Michael Isikoff and David Corn leaves the reader nearly overwhelmed by evidence that Trump and Vladimir Putin have been striving to collaborate for years.

Craig – I deactivated mine yesterday too. Not only for similar reasons you did, but there has been some “pressure” to not use social media due to security concerns. As one of the early users of the Internet I never did social media much, outside of chat rooms or blogs. Facebook along with MySpace were campaign tools. Will I miss out on family things? Probably not much as I am not included most of the time. Will I miss friends in my certain groups? Yes, but I will get over it. We have other ways to keep in touch. And, many have been moving to other sites, as in Facebook is passé.
A holy day for me as the vernal equinox is at 10:15 am Mountain Time. A bit more sunshine today.
In 2014, horrified by fb and its wireless tentacles, I disconnected. I remember I actually had to look-up how to deactivate my account. My family was upset as they could not longer be lazy by posting everything to fb so they did not have to personally and individually respond. As an older human? I hate the lack of privacy whereas younger humans were eager to throw privacy to the winds.
Got locked out of my FB several years ago & they wanted me to jump through hoops to get back in; I decided it was just a time suck. Never missed it. Not deactivated, but dormant like that never-used twitter account I set up. I understand how both could be good & useful, like when you split up on vacation and one message keeps everyone in the loop, but mostly, it’s just a waste of time for users and a Minority Report-esque selling tool for the the other side. Not everything needs to be monetized to death.
I photographed the sky last week…these clouds are unusual for our area…like ripples in the sand at the water’s edge. The ten basic cloud types. The winds have been extreme this year and it reminds me of 2008. I have found a new weather site…loads quickly, but gives me the wind! Windy.com

I thought about deactivating my account over this brouh ha ha… but I’ve decided not to. I do love being in touch with family in Canada, my nieces, and my sister in NYC. I’m in 2 private groups… one for my town and one for the craftsmen guild I’m in… I’m glad of the news I get there. However, I rarely post anything on my page. And after the 1st of this year I decided to unfriend anyone who’s major topic of conversation was politics… on both sides of the aisle. I’m enjoying the service so much more now and spend a lot less time on it.
trump is very dangerous and scary at this time…he is cornered. Last night on cnn, John Dean called trump ‘nixon on steroids and stilts.’
For me, the data shenanigans are the most interesting part of the election heist. This is where the election was stolen and although all feds claim ‘not one vote was changed’ during the election? This will change over time and many are calling for a paper trail on ALL voting machines for 2018. The weak and vulnerable spots are most likely known to Mueller’s data investigators. Mueller will see who has been compromised and the rnc and many repugs should worry.
The new Monmouth “Deep State” poll is causing quite a media stir. I find it very shallow in the questioning, but if you want to read it, here is the release.

I have the same problem. Facebook makes it so easy to reach family and friends if US, Canada, UK, South Africa, and Australia. Email is fine for individual messages, but I don’t know of another platform that allows everyone you know to stay in touch with everyone else you know at the same time.
I am going to do a major review of my privacy settings though.
channel 4:
Revealed: Trump’s election consultants filmed saying they use bribes and sex workers to entrap politicians
Senior executives at Cambridge Analytica – the data company that credits itself with Donald Trump’s presidential victory – have been secretly filmed saying they could entrap politicians in compromising situations with bribes and Ukrainian sex workers.
In an undercover investigation by Channel 4 News, the company’s chief executive Alexander Nix said the British firm secretly campaigns in elections across the world. This includes operating through a web of shadowy front companies, or by using sub-contractors.
In one exchange, when asked about digging up material on political opponents, Mr Nix said they could “send some girls around to the candidate’s house”, adding that Ukrainian girls “are very beautiful, I find that works very well”.
In another he said: “We’ll offer a large amount of money to the candidate,
to finance his campaign in exchange for land for instance, we’ll have the whole thing recorded, we’ll blank out the face of our guy and we post it on the Internet.”
Offering bribes to public officials is an offence under both the UK Bribery Act and the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. Cambridge Analytica operates in the UK and is registered in the United States.
The admissions were filmed at a series of meetings at London hotels over four months, between November 2017 and January 2018. An undercover reporter for Channel 4 News posed as a fixer for a wealthy client hoping to get candidates elected in Sri Lanka.
Mr Nix told our reporter: “…we’re used to operating through different vehicles, in the shadows, and I look forward to building a very long-term and secretive relationship with you.”

I suggest that one’s privacy settings are meaningless–FB has the master key. Do this proactively:

— Fun fact: Back in 1997, when Bill Clinton was president, diGenova wrote an op-ed for the Wall Street Journal arguing that the Constitution allows for the indictment of a sitting president. “The nation, in fact, could conceivably benefit from the indictment of a president,” he wrote. “It would teach the valuable civics lesson that no one is above the law.”

We use our facebook accounts mostly for community goings on etc. In the early days of this community they did not have phone service and used cb’s and I think facebook is the extension of that. But I loved it during the elections when people would start ranting it was great. And I get family photos etc. And we have a family page too. If the stock keeps going down – the punishment will fit the crime.
I’ve always thought they spend a lot of their time harrassing facebook users just because they can

There were these two brothers, George and Charlie, who lived down the street when I was a kid and we used to terrorize the island like a bunch of yahoos, and when we got old enough for cars it got worse……much laughter…..anyway after high school we all lost track.
so when I got the facebook I looked them up and made contact….refreshing to find they’d become liberals…..Found out things, like that by some fluke Charlie had actually gone to Woodstock. They’d both gone to U Of SC, Charlie became a department store guy, but George joined the Peace Corps and went to Africa, well drilling and such. After his PC was over he got a job and stayed in Africa working. He finally retired and wound up outside Atlanta to live with his brother.
While there, he began to write fascinating stories of his time in Africa. He died last year of congestive heart failure.

wapo: Trump congratulates Putin on his reelection, Kremlin says
MOSCOW — President Trump congratulated Russian President Vladimir Putin on his reelection victory in a phone call on Tuesday, the Kremlin said.
The White House confirmed that the call took place but had no immediate comment on the Kremlin’s characterization of it. Some world leaders have hesitated to congratulate Putin, since his reelection occurred in an environment of state control of much of the news media and his most prominent opponent was barred from the ballot.
“Donald Trump congratulated Vladimir Putin on his victory in the presidential election,” the Kremlin said.
Beyond the congratulations, it said, the two leaders discussed Syria, Ukraine, North Korea and arms control. The two also discussed a potential meeting, the Kremlin said.
“Special attention was paid to making progress on the question of holding a possible meeting at the highest level,” the Kremlin’s statement about the phone call said. “In all, the conversation carried a constructive, businesslike character and was oriented toward overcoming the problems that have piled up in U.S.-Russian relations.”
The White House confirmed Tuesday morning that the call had occurred but spokesmen would provide no details, promising that the White House would soon release a readout of the call. Top White House spokesmen did not immediately respond to a request asking them to confirm or deny the Kremlin’s claim that Trump congratulated Putin.
“The leaders said they would work to develop practical cooperation in various directions, including in questions of assuring strategic stability and fighting international terrorism,” the Kremlin said. “Among other things, the need to coordinate efforts to limit an arms race was discussed.”
Putin won a fourth presidential term in Sunday’s Russian election, allowing him to serve until 2024. He took 77 percent of the votes, with 68 percent turnout, the government said. But Putin barely campaigned, opposition activist Alexei Navalny was barred from the ballot, and reports of ballot-stuffing and people being ordered to vote by their employers rolled in throughout election day.
My best Facebook story is that I’ve been able to connect with the only relatives I have in this country. My father had an aunt and uncle… and of course their kids were his first cousins. Growing up, we saw them often and always called the adults “aunt and uncle” even though they weren’t… and their kids were our “cousins”… like 3rd removed. We grew up and my parents moved and we lost touch with all of them. My sister made contact on Facebook. Some of them came to my parents memorial service. Last year they were celebrating Uncle Bud’s (my father’s cousin, their actual uncle) 80th birthday and me, my brother, and sister were all invited. Rick and I showed up and I got to see my cousin Kathy, who was the closest to my age. We chatted away as old friends. Then she says.. “Renee, I haven’t seen you for at least 20 yrs.” I didn’t have the heart to tell her that we hadn’t seen each other since I’ve been married to Rick… which at that point was 42 years. We’ve seen each other several times since then. We will be seeing everyone a week from Friday when we celebrate Uncle Bud’s 81 birthday.

maybe he’ll frame and hang that New Yorker cover next to his Time cover. remember that one from the wapo story last summer:
The framed copy of Time magazine was hung up in at least five of President Trump’s clubs, from South Florida to Scotland. Filling the entire cover was a photo of Donald Trump.
“Donald Trump: The ‘Apprentice’ is a television smash!” the big headline said. Above the Time nameplate, there was another headline in all caps: “TRUMP IS HITTING ON ALL FRONTS . . . EVEN TV!”
This cover — dated March 1, 2009 — looks like an impressive memento from Trump’s pre-presidential career. To club members eating lunch, or golfers waiting for a pro-shop purchase, it seemed to be a signal that Trump had always been a man who mattered. Even when he was just a reality TV star, Trump was the kind of star who got a cover story in Time.
But that wasn’t true.
The Time cover is a fake.
There was no March 1, 2009, issue of Time magazine. And there was no issue at all in 2009 that had Trump on the cover.

Yeah… I recognize that what Sturg and I are talking about is exactly what Facebook is counting on. We are too hooked to give it up. But hey… you are tracked no matter where you go on this machine. Amazon, ebay, etsy, any commercial store, etc. etc…. just to name a few all track what you buy and what it says about you. I can’t go to youtube without it telling me my whole history of music listening and recommendations. There’s no such thing as privacy on this thing. Your only choice is GET OFF THE INTERNET!
Yeah… I’m hooked… so my answer to that is…. nope.
session’s hands are not clean and I am surprised trump’s mr. magoo moniker never caught-on. Instead I am seeing some sympathy for the little mongoose who keeps going for the head of snake, the deep state, the fbi. First he gathers evidence to fire comey and then mccabe. Fake news, phony potus and contrived charges.
From the empty wheel — The duty of candor.
Couple things facebook is NOT counting on is probes, investigations, Congress, and grand juries…….the chips will fall where they may, and sometimes these things have a way of working out.
Hooked? Only cigarettes and beer….everything else could disappear and I’d be C’est la vie……if it kills Grampa, he’ll just have to die.
RR, agree that many platforms mine our data for commercial purposes. Privacy not my concern, that’s long gone. But here the data was used to suppress vote, provoke political divisions and influence an election. And Facebook tolerated it, made money from it.
Haha, one of my favorite old sayings from these parts……say you’re performing some kind of dangerous task like de-fusing a bomb or something…… you and your partner have been hovering over and picking at this thing for hours and finally you’re down to the red wire and the yellow wire…….you both think it’s the yellow wire, but still….and you go round and round, back and forth over it while the clock is ticking…..finally one of you will say, “Well, if it kills grampa, he’ll just have to die” and reach for the yellow wire.

I guess Mueller will look at American Media, too, to see why they would shell pit $150K and get nothing for it. Don’t they make money by publishing stories, not buying them? There must me more money/power in making the story go away, right?
Google something odd, then watch how quickly the stories and ads start to follow you around. Cyber-stalking is big business.

Craig… I’m not absolving Zuckerberg and his minions. I hope Mueller looks into Facebook’s activities surrounding this election… and if he (they) broke the law, hell, throw the book at ’em. But what you are describing is also done by… gerrymandering, paid political ads on tv, done on all over the internet (including this blog), talk radio, etc. etc.
Your headline reads “Deactivate Facebook”… I’m just telling you why my choice is… nope.

BiD, I also do not trust Google. Why I took steps long ago to prevent them and any other search engines from crawling our site. Ever since I discovered Google was the source of that massive intrusion of referral spam that shut us down a couple years ago.
I hate that every app wants to access my contacts. I always say no, but there is nothing stopping someone else from giving them access to me as one of their contacts. It’s too late for Congress to hop on privacy issues; all you can do is all you can do.
I actually do business with some of the companies whose ads follow me around. I HATE dealing with some of these companies for work, so there is no way I will do business with them on a personal level.

Ex-Playboy Model Sues to Break Silence on Trump
A former Playboy model who claimed she had an affair with Donald J. Trump sued on Tuesday to be released from a 2016 legal agreement requiring her silence, becoming the second woman this month to challenge Trump allies’ efforts during the presidential campaign to bury stories about extramarital relationships
The model, Karen McDougal, is suing the company that owns The National Enquirer, American Media Inc., which paid her $150,000 and whose chief executive is a friend of Mr. Trump’s. The other woman, the adult entertainment star Stephanie Clifford, better known as Stormy Daniels, was paid $130,000 to stay quiet by the president’s personal lawyer, Michael D. Cohen. She filed suit earlier this month.
Both women, who argue that their contracts are invalid, are trying to get around clauses requiring them to resolve disputes in secretive arbitration proceedings rather than in open court. Mr. Trump has denied the affairs.
Ms. McDougal, in a lawsuit filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, claims that Mr. Cohen was secretly involved in her talks with A.M.I., and that the media company and her lawyer at the time misled her about the deal. She also asserts that after she spoke with The New Yorker last month after it obtained notes she kept on Mr. Trump, A.M.I. warned that “any further disclosures would breach Karen’s contract” and “cause considerable monetary damages.”
In an email to The New York Times, her new lawyer, Peter K. Stris, accused A.M.I. of “a multifaceted effort to silence Karen McDougal.”
“The lawsuit filed today aims to restore her right to her own voice,” he said, adding, “We intend to invalidate the so-called contract that American Media Inc. imposed on Karen so she can move forward with the private life she deserves.”

However, I’m not their target demographic. My purchasing habits are well-set. It’s the youngest in my family who need to be trained/warned-off of the cyber-weasels in the henhouse.
BiD… one of the problems with all this internet stuff is that many members of Congress don’t really know how it works. Like many older people, I admit that a lot of it baffles me too. Another reason, IMO, why we need younger and newer blood in our government.
Pogo shows up here regularly but if you want to see some pics of proud dad showing off Li’l Pogo, you have to be on Facebook. Maybe we need our own closed PLATFORM or Facebook really does need to be broken up in a fashion that people can create various types of “members only” … many problems and questions.
When it comes to Trump, can you commit “Treason” simply because you are a total ignoramus and too stupid to know you are doing it?
I automatically assume someone knows everything there is to know about me and are totally bored by this useless information because of one saving grace: I actually check out the garbage they push at me.
It’s like that Hillary meme that the Russians hit on because it suckered so many people: “I want a woman President just not THIS woman” … It was enough to give us this GARBAGE known as Trump and his criminal family.
There’s an article in CNN about block chain technology; basically, decentralized info so there aren’t huge amounts of data to harvest or hack. It may signal the eventual end of FB and the like. Eventual.

“I agree with the president’s lawyers that Bob Mueller should be allowed to finish his job,” McConnell said in a press conference. “I think it was an excellent appointment. I think he will go wherever the facts lead him. And I think he will have great credibility with the American people when he reaches the conclusion of this investigation. So I have a lot of confidence in him.”

…Republicans do not see a need to shield Mueller in advance of a potential firing, which McConnell echoed on Tuesday.
“I just don’t think it’s necessary,” McConnell said. “I don’t think Bob Mueller is going anywhere. I think there’s widespread feeling and the president’s lawyers obviously agree — that he ought to be allowed to finish the job.”

In secretly recorded conversations, Cambridge Analytica’s CEO, Alexander Nix, claimed he had met Trump “many times”, while another senior member of staff said the firm was behind the “defeat crooked Hillary” advertising campaign.
“We just put information into the bloodstream of the internet and then watch it grow, give it a little push every now and again over time to watch it take shape,” said the executive. “And so this stuff infiltrates the online community, but with no branding, so it’s unattributable, untrackable.”

NEW THREAD
also from the guardian:
A New York state judge ruled on Tuesday that a defamation lawsuit filed against Trump by Summer Zervos, a contestant on his former reality show The Apprentice, can go ahead.
[….]
Zervos accuses him of sexual harassment, and the go-ahead to proceed in the case raises the possibility of Trump being forced to answer questions by her lawyers about his behavior toward her and other women who have accused him of sexual misconduct.
Judge Jennifer Schecter in Manhattan supreme court said there was “absolutely no authority” to dismiss or stay a civil lawsuit by Zervos related “purely to unofficial conduct” just because Trump is president of the US.
Zervos claims Trump kissed her twice on the lips during a lunch meeting in his New York office in 2007 and, while in Beverly Hills, she alleges he kissed her aggressively and touched her breast. Trump has vehemently denied the claims.
