However, it seems to        remain a favourite among some of my friends and family to quickly post a        picture or something - but often without any context with it.              FB is essentially a kind of bbs but at the sacrifice of ads and a branded        look to everything. People love it because it empowers them to think        they've got their own website. Meanwhile, users dump all kinds of        personal info onto it, and FB enjoys monetizing *your* data.              With all the privacy and targetted ads issues, I've just started to see FB        as a grand surveilllance experiment that I would rather not be part of.              Has anyone here clicked on the ads they offer on the right side of the        screen?              I hate the way FB picks up on some of the "shared posts" videos that I        watch from my friends, and then find a whole wack of similar stuff the        next time I go to YouTube.                      ../|ug              --- OpenXP 5.0.38        * Origin: /|ug's Point, Ont, Canada (2:221/1.58)       SEEN-BY: 1/19 15/2 16/0 123/130 131 1970 203/0 221/1 6 360 226/16       SEEN-BY: 226/17 229/107 354 426 452 1014 230/0 240/5832 5853 249/206       SEEN-BY: 249/317 400 261/38 280/5003 5006 317/3 320/119 219 322/757       SEEN-BY: 342/200 393/68 640/1384 3828/7       PATH: 221/1 320/219 240/5832 229/426           |
