Yeah, but here, your personal data and pics aren't getting secretly cross referenced to ALL your other web activity, your online banking, your email accounts, your email content, all the pages you visit, all your searches etc and sold and re-sold and re- sold for whatever uses to whoever wants it........ just a thought 😉 😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terryh Posted May 26, 2019 Report Share Posted May 26, 2019 ....and also interesting observation of FB look up the TED talk by Carole Cadwalladr on FB and the Brexit vote ....... just saying T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brown dog Posted May 26, 2019 Report Share Posted May 26, 2019 My personal micro-experience was exchanging an email with a legal clerk with whom I have zero, zip, nada connection beyond that email - within hours, they appeared as a 'friend suggestion' on fb. Big (secret and misused) data. FB is deffo not a place to electronically network yourself to unknown people with an unknown data footprint that may get you placed in parts of an intelligence venn diagram that you wouldn't choose ...and I keep getting ads for russian wives, which makes no sense (😂😂) [Tel, just scanned that talk you mentioned; pity she links it to Brexit, which will prob switch off 50% of readers, but I like her line that 'FB is a crime scene, and they hold all the evidence'] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrCetrizine Posted May 26, 2019 Report Share Posted May 26, 2019 I just went to the full size image on Facebook and copied the address in the browser then pasted it into the post here. It also works in the insert image from URL in the insert other media button in PMs. My privacy settings in FB are as locked down as you can get.

Got it - don't think I can try it from mobile app as can't see url. And..a security glitch? Can you link other people's photos that they've shared to you as a friend, and set not to be public?

MrCetrizine Posted May 26, 2019 Report Share Posted May 26, 2019 This is a friend's pic. Shouldn't be public I don't think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrCetrizine Posted May 26, 2019 Report Share Posted May 26, 2019 If you have a small amount of technical ability and £30, you can host your own images for free (after the £30 pi purchase) with a raspberry pi and simple instructions like these... https://www.instructables.com/id/Host-your-website-on-Raspberry-pi/ and stick it to the hosting companies who charge.
