One's own Facebook page displays one's private file of photos so that it's convenient for choosing one for posting. Nobody else can see your files.

Yes, the photos were not on public display. That was my saving grace.

This is exactly what happened.

But I still consider this an invasion of privacy. Anybody can throw the switch to "allow public display" on his or her own site, and then Facebook can later access pictures that are compromising.

I hate the entire facebook idea totally. it may have been a useful tool at one point, and it still may serve that purpose. But there are too many bells and whistles that are A. not easy to use, and B. may be even outside of the realm of the user's control. This displays of photos is one. The other one is the friend suggestions. The third one is that it keeps sending me suggestions without my asking for them. And many, many intrusive, useless, and outright stuppoid things, for instance, not being able to check out or check in one sure certain motion, what my facebook page looks like to OTHERS.

It is a good idea, totally screwed up, Facebook is.

Oh, yes, and dinner buns. Boy, they are sexy when you know how to arouse their true inner feelings of love.
1st off thanks mods for not removing my membership here - though I ranted over your removal of my Wiki/Jan Francis page edit it was so happy to have done 3 weeks ago and to share here (before you removed my thread on that topic over in the "lounge" where it belonged - and should have not been removed by you - and thanks for no PM as to why the removal of said thread as a couresy to me your guest in this place - you "mod" is our host - and as a host you should have "PMed" me about why you removed such an inoquious(sp) thread i placed in its proper place); now to the post here I wish to reply to (got it off my chest - mod/s? you reading? - would still welcome some communication (you/s out there?) to me as simple civility toward me as your guest to your house - you are the host, would welcome a simple post to me in any form you wish as to why you removed my harmless thread about my addition to the wikipedia page of the actress Jan Francis).................ya I got the mods here stuck in my craw...........................ok, to your post.

i know nothing about FB - never joined, (hated HS and have no wish to "catch up" to folks that i did not like when i was 18 - let alone 30 yrs later. not a twit either - anything important to say should never be limited to less than 141 letters.

"Social media" is just another world for Noise.

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so are you saying that FB actually is (and does) able to take your picts (from a PC I assume?) and upload them to thier serves for the rest of the world to see??????????????

does/can FB actually do this? technically.

not asking legally, i'm sure the EULA in joining the Facebook Cartel is similar to the one I joined in the 90's/00's (Microsoft's Operating Systems over the years), i'm sure its legal.............alone with your first born's soul.................(sure FB EULA has that particular too).

that's what i was wondering (thanks for not taking my rant to you about being a FB member personally - i appreciate this).

and no FB cannot technically "take photos" (and i got em 500? 1000? photos - mostly big arsed gals - lol (some partially clothed) from your PC.

why? because each time you "log in" (I know most folks today leave their computer on and connected to the net 24/7, the ISP still does a "Reset" at their end) I power down my PC every night myself - i do not believe in waste for waste sake (power in this case).

DNS is dynamic and assigned by your ISP, and so differs each time you connect to the internet. there is no way that FB can know what your ISP assigned DNS is so as to be able to access your PC and then snatch your porno picts from that harddrive for the rest of FB members to see.

only way I can see that this might be possible is if you had "copies on the the cloud"...................like sitting over in Flicker/or some other online site (i.e. one owned by FB or legally aligned with share data................and BLAM!!!!!!!!!!! "all your photo belong to us".

..............

oh ya, fk the cloud too. "all my photo belong to me" - all 10 ft from me in my PC box where it shall stay forever (or on offloaded data CD/DVD/Blu-rays-recordables).

to clarify.

DNS - "domain name server".........the numberical address your ISP assigns your computer each time you log into the internet.

it differs each time (unless you have a special account with your ISP for a "Static IP address"..............which few do.

Yes if you are techno-illiterate. Somewhere along the line - 1 - has given permission or not set permissions correctly and has photo-syncing on.
what is "photo syncing"?

I never joined FB but wish to know my enemy - esp now that net neutrality died yesterday thanks to Sht Pia - the Verizon prostitute.

So it's a smart-phone thing. Just another reason not to have one of those evil things.
Pretty funny though, that -1- had all his naked photos posted publicly on Facebook :lol: Still, couldn't they be sued for that?
"smart"phone. never had one, fk don't have a cell even (ya my mum pays for an old "flip-phone" for my car - "just in case")...........to me its just there for her. she pays for it.

all i got is an old land line phone - and a PC for the net.

all i needed 20 yrs ago, 10 yrs ago and today!

works for me.

No.

I'm not your host.

AMod.
I thank you for a reply Sir.

I do value humility, and so ask (not demand) you sir was to why you removed my post WRT to Wiki/Jan Francis 3 wks ago. I just saw no need for its removal (and if there was a need - had you PMed me as to "that need" I would understand NOW! that said need.


..................

as for my analogy,

this Website is a House.

you as moderator is the resident (leaser or owner).

I'm a Salesman, stranger with a car out of gas with no phone (I have no cellphone - if i were out of gas in my car in front of your house i'd knock on your door and ask if it could use your phone), the annoying relative, nieghbor...................who drops by your house (this wedsite).


----------------

what do you do AMod?

turn us away?

(i.e. if so then are you not? the leaser or owner of this HOUSE?.............................)

the minimum of civil discourse (in all cultures and all nations and all religions - through all time) is that the resident of a home is a host to all guests who stumple upon said home.

and so yes - per the convention of Humanities understanding hospitality and civility since recorded history (3000 yrs now) - I think you as moderator ("AMod" thank you for the civility of offering me your name to me - THAT "other place" never even did that much - after 2 remvoed accounts for reasons i stilll now nothing about why...............I'm not a dk. really. just value discussion.

yes you are the leaser or owner of this place, and yes you have the power to remove me a guest (you do not have the power to mandate that I am not a guest - nor you the host (we are both as I stated prior!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! sir).

our positions now clearified................................and I hope now affirmed by you "AMod",

I hope that me as your guest and you as my host will allow me to discuss matters of all things in your home, from small to large as long as it is all with good intent.

I do thank you for your reply to me as a Mod and moreso as a Man/Woman (human)...............in this much you do me honour(I'm not a brit - just spell this particular word as the Brits) me in even reply to me.

peace to you "AMod".

I don't know why people don't just copy-paste their threads and save them to admire in all their glory on special occasions-- like the anniversaries of their creation.

I've looked and looked - all over and not found the Wiki entry about how "happy and feel special" title thread. I posted it 3 weeks ago when drunk. edited wiki on Jan Francis after seeing see was not credited on her appearence in a Raffle's episode.

I'm American - but disscoverd all the great ITV 70's Brit TV shows years ago before Youtube got all fkling copyrich anal and removed all those old shows i did not know anyhing about (I then bought them on DVD (PAL/region 2 - stripped via FABDVD then uploaded in higher rez on my own channel on YT 2 yrs ago..........for at least 5 months maybe others disscovered the shows i did and then bought the DVDs of.

Callan/Secret Army/human Jungle/Gideon's Way/Danger UXB.

My post "might" be in some other "Section of this forum" - but 80-percent sure i posted where it would have belonged which would have been in "lounge" and it ain't there.

---------if i can ever get fking DailyMotion to WORK - i might be able to rebuid my "Z-Channel" over there (in honour of the Z-channel i rem as a kid in Irvine CA during the early 80's summers.

This might clarify our positions.

My sig when we allowed them, "Let it not be said that this is not a benevolent tyranny."

I'd take your comments about decency a little more seriously if you had PM'd me in the first place but instead you sniped upon the open forum.

Some friendly advice, I really dislike being disturbed from my sleep so please stop bothering me, treat your deleted posts as a philosophical quiz or just one of life's little mysteries.
