If you want to stay safe on Facebook, the answer is, you should not use it, and don\u2019t tag people! There are benefits of using it, there are tradeoffs, but in the long run I think it\u2019s going to be pretty bad that you gave a bunch of capitalists all your private information where the US government asserts and has the right to read it without a warrant and with the ability to gag the corporate.<br \/>\n<br \/><Br><br \/>\nWhat\u2019s the greatest database of Jews on the planet? Facebook. What will happen when you want the biggest database of leftists on the planet? Or right wing people? That\u2019s really, really scary, so one way to not be part of that dataset is to not put yourself in it voluntarily, and to chastise people who only hang out with you to tag you in facebook as a sort of conspicuous consumption of the 21st Century say: &#8220;Hey, if that\u2019s all you get out of our friendship then go fuck yourself!&#8221;<br \/>\n<br \/><Br><br \/>\nThere\u2019s an important distinction, this idea of privacy by policy and privacy by design. Privacy by policy is the idea that there is a policy that is like the law. But policy doesn\u2019t really matter because someone can say they\u2019re not going to log, but then they do log. They say they\u2019re not going to give the log data out but someone will copy it, or maybe they\u2019ll sell it. <\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jakob Appelbaum: How to use Facebook safely Here\u2019s the easy solution: don\u2019t fucking surveil yourself!
