[PSUBS-MAILIST] Psub Facebook

Thanks, Jim, this is good information.  

Post no personal details on FB.  People forget that a lot of their personal information is not private information… this was true even before FB and it's kin.

Good evening, Tim,

The problems with Facebook that I referred to have nothing to do with what someone posts.  Rather they were related to hackers breaching the servers and gaining access to members' account information.  In 2010 Facebook settled a class action lawsuit (Lane v. Facebook, Inc.) stemming from Facebook posting members' private information without members' permission.  Since I have never joined Facebook, I don't really know what might be included in account information.

When I receive an email purportedly from the address of someone I have previously exchanged emails with, yet I can tell that person's address book has been invaded and the email is not actually from them, the vast majority of the time it is a Yahoo account. Therefore I stopped using Yahoo long ago.

When I bought my present computer I was required to get a gmail address for some registration requirement (don't recall just what).   I sent one email from that account and very soon began receiving online advertisements based on the content within that private email.  Never used gmail again after that.

I understand there is little I can do if someone personally targets me, but I try to avoid making it easy or getting caught up in a sweep.

Best regards,

Jim

Am missing something regarding the privacy issues of Face Book?

I have kept everything private on my FB account.  Nothing is "public" other than my existence.  I only accept "friends" of people I know, or is friends with someone I know AND has an affiliation to psubing, diving, or flying.  And I know that once a friend has been accepted then all his friends now also have access.  I do not post anything on my FB account that I don't want made public.  I only post stuff about me, not because I am self-centred, but because my family and personal friends are not for public view.  I have posted a pic or two of interesting submarines and airplanes, but not even one of my cat.  Basically: if you don't want it publicized then don't post it.  Am I being naïve about FB? 

What about Yahoo Groups, is it better?

That's impressive Greg,

you could always justify buying a submarine as an escape

from business pressure.

Wow!

So cool. 

Well. I was just elected in a national campaign to head the Federation of State Medical Boards ( the national medical board organization)

Not nearly as cool as helicoptering! And I'm still no where close to getting my boat in the water!

You guys are still the coolest and most interesting folks I know!

Jim,

like the tax dept & FBI?

You have obviously received my email, but I haven't! 

No, no ones interested in my private life. They would have to be a pretty boring

individual if they were.

Cheers Alan

The list is fairly short, but of rather high quality...
