Facebook shoves your face in Microsoft's Bing thing

facebook privacy

It doesn't matter how you set the "privacy" settings your personal data can always be shared by others.

If you upload a photograph to facebook and tag one of your friends that picture can be seen by all the friends of your friend. Those friends of friends are free to comment on your photo, when they comment on your photo their friends (3rd generation) are now able to see the photo and the comment.

So the only answer to facebook privacy is not to have a facebook account.

Bit useless

Most people use Google or Yahoo - Bing does not sound like a search engine, but a tinplate toy manufacturer.

Pfft...

Facebook and Microsoft.

Two of my favourite companies.

Why don't these f*ckers tell us when they are sharing OUR SHIT ...

Why don't these f*ckers tell us when they are sharing OUR SHIT with parties we may not want having them?

Had I considered this, I might have started removing my photos. I don't necessarily want msoft harvesting MY SHIT, possibly trying to read my mind, advert tools to me, or beat me to something.

Thanks a lot, facef*ck... Yet, another reason to share less of my stuff on fb. Even if for strategic planning they cannot reveal they are in M&A talks with another party, they could at least not suck in the photos until after they strike a plan. Then, if the plan fails because 800,000 people ask, "WHAT the fuck did you SAY? You want to give MICROsoft MHY PHOTOS without my permission? What? Your TOS/EULA gave you permisstion and I should have read better?"

So what. Fuck fuckface. Time to stop posting non-generic photos on fb...

The only way you can call Facebook social..

.. is if you add and "a" for the word.

It's as asocial as it gets IMHO

"linked to a full experience "

Title says it all. Really.

(The rattling sound you hear is Billy Shakespeare in his grave.)

And your photos will never be shared with the public...

I'm surprised that photos that're visible to everyone on Facebook won't be public on Bing search. As someone who posts a lot of public photos (I do photography at night clubs) that might actually have been useful.

In fairness to msoft....

Pretty soon, unless the social sites are delibertately acting as staging grounds for spies, then spies and investigators and brain-fucked repressive regimes will rely on:

Anyone besides me find "Gamma" to sound like the name of pron industry or lubrication products? (No, I'm not thinking of the Gamma Quadrant, hahaha). Maybe it was tongue-in-cheek (or, tongue-round-shaft?) for this spook/spy- company. I wonder how they sleep at night knowing that they took profit over someone's life, limb, or liberty. Sure, CERTAIN people (read, miscreants) do need spying on and to be arrested, but selling the shitware to repressive regimes should come with a back door to take down those regimes, not snuff out individuals who might just be a vocal thorn rather than an actual bomber.

I have a sneaking suspicion that that software can also cripple built-in refresh buttons in the android phones.

Yet, this could be yet another reason why Google makes it a royal pain in the ass to easily root our devices. It's not just that we might nix the adverts (which indeed would hurt google's bottom line if their reports reflect that to paying sponsors), but the governments with business permit powers would just revoke Google's charter to do business in an affected country, maybe even ban the presence of the software. One would think, however, that if that were the case, then countries like China would INVITE google, g+, and facebook so they can trojan the phones and get at the accounts, even if VPN stuff is in use. Ooops, shit, ideas? No, surely they can think of it or already have. That's why I suspect surgical crippling of Android devices is already in play...
