- Your government ID
- Your consumer report history * The name of every family member
- The name of every friend
- The name of their family / friends
- Your marital status
- If you are faithful to your partner
- Your work history (all of it)
- Your education history (all of it)
- Your travel history (going back years)
- Your birth gender
- Your gender ID
- Your sexuality
- Your sexual preferences
- How often you’re having sex
- Your partner’s details (all the above)
- Your political ideology
- Your involvement with any group
- If you protest, we know
- If you’re unhappy, we know
The amount of information we collect on you is insane. And we do it all for supposedly marketing and yes, we help the government since they have access to all this too.
So when someone says they want to avoid META or GOOGLE - respect.
Well I wish I could get people off what’s app. It’s the default way to message people where I’m from 😭
Me too. But i convised my family members and 2 close friends to install it, ans we talk through signal. It’s a start.
How often you’re having sex
Can they… help with improving this? Asking for a friend.
Would be interesting to knowing GDPR has any impact at all on this
The problem is, even if you don’t have an account in Fakebook, it is enogh if an family member or a friend has one, because FB has access to their mail and telephone lists where you appears. Apart of this there are a lot of webservices which share data with Facebook, like some hosts, cloudservices, imgur and a lot of others, perfect to profile everyone.
This is why I don’t interact with family or friends. My mom doesn’t know my email address.
Better so, but it’s not the only privacy hole used by Zuckerbot.
Even worse for me. I used to work for Facebook, so they know my social security number and have run a background check on me.
