One thing I don't like about Facebook

[fbj]

If you decide to join a certain group is posted for all your friends to see. Why does that have to be on display that I joined a certain group? For example i saw a friend of mine joined a BBW lovers group and that's his business. I didn't need to know what he likes and where he goes to find it


That's the only criticism I have about Facebook. Just wish that information can be private


BTW: I wish it was a such thing as "FamilyBook" lol I don't need my mom on the same list as my friends

Only "One Thing"?

Oh I'm not a fan of seeing obituaries posted in my newsfeed

I think you can change that in the settings. Give it a look.

Use an alias. Set up a bogus account using an e-mail set up through Google, Yahoo, etc. Become friends with those you want to glean info from (relatives, co-workers, ) and set up a believable profile.

You need not divulge any "real" information about yourself. It's sorta sneaky, but a good way to use Facebook without all the intrusions into your private life

what is the purpose of setting up a bogus account if my family and relatives will still be on my friends list?

You can deactivate or even delete your current facebook account. I believe there is a waiting period to delete it.

The discussion was about me being on facebook and not wanting my family or friends to see what groups I joined.

So it would defeat the purpose of getting a bogus FB account to add my relatives and friends

I use facebook the same way I use this site

no real name
no pic
no mention of where I work
no mention of age


Get me???

 

[Gracie]

I don't really care. You are the one that thinks something is wrong if they don't use social media.
Get ME?

True. However you could join those groups on the other facebook account, so your family and friends won't know what groups you've joined. Later, you can delete either of the two accounts if you so desire.

Russia recently passed a law requiring all websites to store personal information of their users on Russian servers, ostensibly to "protect" Russian citizens. Yeah, right....... Welllllll, that means they are tied into (or can be tied into) the main servers with everyone's personal information.........
Oh and in Russia there is little difference between the Russian mafia and the Russian government, they work hand in hand............ Russia is one of the largest computer fraud perpetrators.
