I left FB sometime ago to comcentrate on steemit. I hate that it has so much info. On me even though I was careful. I didn't give it my date of birth. But I fear it will have found it in some way or other. I just stare at my friends who say I have nothing to hide so why sbould I worry what it knows about me. They need help and all I can do is shake my head. 😎

maybe you have shared more on Steemit than you realize. we know which Island you live on. What your yard looks like and your neighbours. Your cats, your flowers, your feet, your airport, the places you visit, what you look like and your wife. How many people resteem your stuff and who resteems that. Who are they? Do you know them? Maybe someone thinks your worth pursuing. You could be the next fatal attraction. just saying. If you want to be safe, get off social media and dont use computers for living. Dont be fooled by Steemit, which BTW is easily shared on Facebook, I am sure you have noticed this. So I can resteem your Steemit post and post it to Facebook and 700 of my friends can share it across the Universe who share it with 700 more and so on and son on. User beware my friend.
You Make a fair point Marion. But for some reason I feel more in control on Steemit. I know there are some bad selfish people here like there are in all walks of life. But here using the blockchain we can become a very powerful influence in the world. On face book you are just another slave to the advertiser. Steemit had the potential to really change peoples lives in a very positive way. It might not seem like it now but the platform is still very much in its infancy. I have no one here who reposts my stuff to fb. We have to fight an ourdated unfair governmental system somehow. And a social media that is not censored and hands power to its contributors is a good start. Big up the Steem 😎😎

Andy, Andy, Andy. you have not idea who puts your stuff on Facebook. I can put your comment you just gave me above on my Facebook account and yu would never know. NEVER. I know you have not seen what I have seen here or read what I have. Either you have not taken the time nor wish to. The difference here is you can not get rid of these people nor block them, nor can you deactivate. If something is free to do as I wish I should be able to do as I wish. I can't. That is just it. For some reason I feel this is pushed down my throat and marketed just like everything else. LIke what gas to use, what coffee to drink, which bank, who to vote for etc etc etc. There is no privacy and you are not protected is all I am saying. That was your point and that is my reply. Do not fool yourself into believing that you are safe. I actually feel I have no control. Since I can not really get rid of scammers. As far as helping people that is a different entity. We were discussing your privacy. Plus...everybody can see what you write. Is that privacy? Anyways, you mind is made up. So be it....
The power is not in the contributors hands. The power is in the hands of the Whales who have invested their capitol from a different source. Oh, so say like this world. They have created something different. But it still has rules. Sure uncensored sort of, but censored in another way. Just like any other organization, this is helping someone and some people are getting very rich on this.
We can't say that all whales are bad, The same way you can't say all ruch people are bad. But here we may have a chance to put together more good rich people than bad, and make some changes. Thats all I am saying. Oh and have some fun on the way 😎

No..and I do not think I implied that. I just was stating how I believe from what I read what really got this going. Sadly however, no one can leave this even if they want to stop. You can not deactivate and all the smut and naughtiness and dirties are on here forever. No way to disappear.
Dont try to justify or interact with A holes. They are not worth you time. Stick with me check out the nice people I have found over the last week. I may not understand how the blockchain or even crypto really works but its going to be fun trying. We have started so lets see where this goes. I know you always look at the positive, dont change because of fools and idiots. 😁😁

I justify very little on here and do not interact with so called A holes. but you have missed my point
Worst part is that your friends have probably uploaded a great deal of details about you. Remember, FB can recognize your face once it has been tagged. Last time I heard the algorithm was over 97% accurate under normal conditions.
Thanks for that then.lol. Yes that is the worst part that your friends can give it information about you and you have no control. Thanks for the link to unseatme. Have just deleted heaps of accounts. Many were done in the very early years of the internet and were lin forgotten. It will take time to go through all my old mail accounts. But its quite fun. Although i feel the damage is already done.
