Facebook Violating Privacy

I'm a freak, anyway ... I do MOST of my deals on a cash-only basis. I wouldn't even accept a FREE SunPass. Not in my car, baby. No thanks. Look for my celly in a snowbank come January ....

I'll make an exception for some Dirty Fucking Hippie window stickers .....


Dear MoveOn member,

When you buy a book, movie, or gift online, do you want that information automatically shared with everyone you know?

Last week, the social networking site Facebook began doing just that. Private purchases made by Facebook users on other sites were posted on Facebook for people's co-workers, friends, and random acquaintances to see.¹ Why? To benefit corporate advertisers.

Other sites are looking at Facebook's example to see if they can get away with similar privacy breaches. We need to draw a line in the sand—making clear that the wish lists of corporate advertisers must not come before the basic privacy rights of Internet users.

Can you urge Facebook to stop violating privacy rights? If you're on Facebook, join our Facebook group and invite your Facebook friends. If you're not on Facebook, you can sign our petition to Facebook.

You can join the Facebook group "Facebook, stop invading my privacy!" here:
http://www.moveon.org/r?r=3202&id=11708-6787274-FxcvN1&t=5

Click here to sign the petition (see box at right for petition text):
http://civ.moveon.org/facebookprivacy/?rc=fb_air&id=11708-6787274-FxcvN1&t=6

This fight is about more than just Facebook users. Sites like Facebook are revolutionizing how we communicate and could transform how we organize around issues together in a 21st century democracy. The question is, will corporate advertisers get to write the rules? Or will these new social networks protect our basic rights—including privacy?

Like our work together for Net Neutrality², this is fundamentally about the future of the Internet as a public space.

Here's what some people wrote on the public Wall of our Facebook group:

"I made a purchase yesterday for my wife for Christmas...When my wife logged onto Facebook, there was an entry in her news feed that I had bought a ring from Overstock. It had a link to the ring and everything. Christmas ruined."—Sean L. from Massachusetts

"I saw my girlfriend bought an item i had been saying i wanted...so now part of my christmas gift has been ruined. Facebook is ruining christmas!"—Matthew H. from New York

"Facebook, are you kidding me? This is way out of bounds for a program I never opted into."—Matthew F. from Georgia³

By fighting back now—and getting lots of people to join the Facebook group and sign the petition—we can send a strong signal to Facebook and other sites that Internet privacy must be protected.

Thanks for all you do,

–Adam G., Daniel, Marika, Eli, Wes, Karin, and the MoveOn.org Civic Action Team

P.S. Facebook says its users can "opt out" of having their private purchases made public. But the link is easy to miss.⁴ And even if you do "opt out" for purchases on one site, it doesn't apply to purchases on other sites—you have to keep opting out site by site, week by week, month by month. The obvious solution is to switch to an "opt in" policy, like most other features on Facebook.

The Florida FINANCIAL CRISIS LIE !!!!!!

UPDATE: This appears to be at least a partial current bond-rating (as of 7-2-07 LYL)
Someone better tell the rest of the world that Floriduh is in a financial crisis. Cause ... READ MY LIPS: (LOL) It's BULLSHIT !!!!!!!!!!!!




I've blogged about this a few times: The really obvious fact that this financial crisis hoax being put on Florida voters is merely to usher gambling through the lege BUT FAST.

I must be a fricking SAINT. I'm going to point out the TRUTH as I know it knowing full well that it likely won't do ANY good and that if it DOES DO any good, I would cost myself a bundle.

What's that they say about a woman who is more interested in the success of what she stands for than she is her personal success? Hmmmmm.

Anyway, I kept searching and searching online with no success for the article I KNOW I have at home (I have lots and lots of bullshit articles at home so that is not a current option) where JEB666 is bragging about how Florida is RICH RICH RICH. This was LESS than two months before he slithered out of left office.

Then, all the sudden Charlie springs into the Govna's mansion and we're in the middle of a financial crisis??? WE GOTTA HAVE CASINOS to bail us out. Lookit all the money them Injuns are taking and we ain't gettin NONE?!??!?!? (this is what they would have you believe -- no doubt a few tribal members are doing quite well (think of them as the long-haired Bushes and cronies) and the rest of the tribe is struggling WORSE THAN EVER.

Driven to Key West lately???

THEN, I found something through reading Racy Mind's brilliant !!!!! analysis of Shock Doctrine and remembered that JEBBY also bragged about Florida's BOND RATING being the best it could possibly be.

Which is STILL the case.

Refute this fact if you can.

Where THE FUCK is the MSM and the alternative news junkies on THIS ONE??? They're all just singing the song the governor lays out for them.

Florida has NO financial crisis. Florida DOES HAVE many imported and native criminals who are heavily invested in OWNING Florida and bringing gambling TO YOU wherever you happen to be.

You canNOT trust anyone you are reading if they can't see through this forest for the trees.

It's ALL BULLSHIT.

You watch carefully as EVERY SESSION since Charlie (set up by JEBBY who always denied his obvious connections to gambling) we move closer to BEING Las Vegas.
Isn't that a lovely picture?
There's no beach in Vegas.
No quick run around the South Americas either.

All in all it's a good move on the part of the gambling folks. Laundering cash, votes, toll money, you name it.
I don't even particularly CARE. I just loathe people being led like donkeys.

So, don't be led like a donkey. Ask your local person(s) you rely on for news why they HELL they haven't noticed that our bond rating is THROUGH THE ROOF while we have a papier mache (welcome GAMBLERS ANONYMOUS) financial crisis all across Florida???

EXCERPT (but read it all!!)
Nicknamed "KING JEB":

...... Yet, while his tenure coincided with a sizzling economy and an overflowing treasury, Bush's back-to-back terms were marred by frequent ethics scandals, official bungling and the inability of the government he downsized to meet growing demands for state services, including education and aid for the infirm and the elderly.

A policy wonk, Bush pursued an agenda so frenetic that even his efficiency czar resigned in protest.

"I've always felt, if you can do something today, why wait? It's just my nature," said Bush, 53, who grew grayer and slightly stouter in Tallahassee but never slackened his pace, even during his final days. (who called him the fat brother??? LOL)

He championed tax cuts that chiefly benefited business and the wealthy, trimmed the state's payroll, stripped job protection from thousands of mid-level civil servants, gained more power over the judiciary, exploited his Washington connections to prevent the closing of military bases and launched the nation's first statewide private-school voucher program.

MY FRIENDS: WHERE did that OVERFLOWING treasury GO????? Where did it disappear in two short months??? Because the first day Charlie stepped in people were clamoring for relief .... seems there would have been some in the treasury.

Sorry, I have no sympathy. I'm about to move to a place where my taxes are going to be TEN TIMES the amount they are here. Yep. Eyeswideopen. It's WORTH IT.

Tampa Control Texas Control

You KNOW how I'm always going on and ON about how our civil rights are disappearing ?? The cameras and WALLS going up all along the interstate? You drive the same places I do so you can't pretend you don't notice. Remember how when I blogged about the cameras the Tampa Trib. 'issued a quick statement' on behalf of the Sheriff's Dept, GeeDavid in which they stated that 'of course' these cameras were NOT THERE to watch US but to be utilized in the event of an emergency to 'help us' get out of town and to control and instruct traffic. Right.

Hey, that's the same line of SHIT they're feeding them in Texas !!!! This link is actually to a post ABOVE the one I want you to read over at RacyMind's.
BUT, this one is important, TOO because it highlights the absolute WASTE and abuse of taxpayer funds. If it's not pocket pool or fondling citizens it's pellet guns INSIDE. Swell. And, THESE are law-enforcers. Isn't that a LAUGH>> NO, it's NOT. And, it's more obvious every day.
Here's teh post I want you to read pertaining to the same remote control birds that Hillsborough County is flying around. Only, OF COURSE, the Pampa Trib did not give this even HALF the coverage it got in TX.

Is it starting to LOOK like a national PLAN, YET???


THEN you absolutely MUST have a look at her analysis of Shock Doctrine.

An excerpt:

One will have to ask whether it could conceivably make sense to think of deliberately provoking a crisis so as to remove the political logjam to reform. For example, it has sometimes been suggested in Brazil that it would be worthwhile stoking up a hyperinflation so as to scare everyone into accepting those changes… Presumably no one with historical foresight would have advocated in the mid-1930’s that Germany or Japan go to war in order to get the benefits of the supergrowth that followed their defeat. But could a lesser crisis have served the same function? Is it possible to conceive of a pseudo-crisis that could serve the same positive function without the cost of a real crisis?

So wrap your head around that. Do it again - it has been acceptable thinking for well over a decade now : creating a crisis and throwing a population into a false panic is okay. An acceptable tactic. The economic equivalent of “fire” in a crowded theater, this is .. and it is pure evil. Would it actually happen? It didn’t take very long to actually happen in Canada. There was a “debt crisis” engineered in Canada in 1993, and the hard core motherfuckers were pushing for cuts in health care and other social services. The legitimate credit rating agencies like Moody’s didn’t see any crisis, and gave Canadian bonds the highest possible ratings. Well, this flew in the face of the crisis that was being engineered.....

Please read ON:::

I'm not Naomi Wolf but I DO know a fucking scam when I see one and this is exactly what is behind this manufactured financial crisis of Florida.

IF we're in SUCH A FIX where is the money coming from for the CHEEZY GLITZ I see ALL AROUND ME???????

ESPECIALLY IN PAMPA.

You all may not have noticed yet but Hillsborough County is following closely in the footsteps of LARGO, the city of PROGRESS. Ask Joe Stines.

Call David Gee and ASK HIM why we have money from Homeland Security for 'helping citizens' but it just results in MORE CONTROL of said citizens???

It must be for OUR OWN GOOD.

Dissect the papiermache' financial crisis of Florida. There ISN'T ONE. If cutting taxes will throw us into SUCH an imagined crisis, what ON EARTH are we even considering it for??
Because 200 of Charlie's closest friends drove to Tally. Unfair to new residents? Call ahead and check. EVERYTHING discriminates against SOMEONE.
Hillsborough County discriminates against my family and I EVERY DAY and not one person has a word to say about htat.......... just sayin........
