It pays NOT to be on FACEBOOK

[skieur]

I have not heard too much about this problem. I tend to believe the media blows most things out of proportion which sends a false sense of urgency, concern, and frequency.

Not out of proportion at all, when one hears it directly from prominent and successful lawyers who spend a lot of time in court.

People ascribe a rather remarkable degree of organizational ability to burglars.

Some are quite smart, but most are junkies looking for a tv to sell to get a fix.

The top 3 best anti-burgling methods are as follows.

1. Lock your doors
2. Leave a light on.
3. Don't make your house a target. I.e. leaving flat screen boxes on the curb, have a giant tv by the window, leave garage door open etc...

Driving down any street will tell you more about which house to rob than weeks on facebook.

Yes, but Facebook will often tell you, who is on vacation...away from home.

Who are those lawyers defending in this case, and against whom? Is this in Canada or the U.S.? Is this a class action? If so, the outcome of the case will probably end up becoming jurisprudence (i.e., determining for future reference the legality of the practice or not).

I would not want to work for a company that can't tell where the limit is. If a potential employer asks for my Facebook password, I would stand up and leave (even if I'm desperate for a job). This would be out of principle, because my Facebook activity is nearly zero (except on the photography side of things).

Oh well. One so called direct source just proves the media is completely honest and would never ever blow things out of proportion for the shallow millions to consume... Since it comes direct from skieur its even more credible... Dont know why even use my noggin.. I should just consult he world wide web.

Lighthouses rule. You don't like lighthouses?

And how does Facebook know about peoples' vacations? People post that they are on vacation, which is almost analogous to posting a sign on the front door of their own house that says they're on vacation (both are foolish things to do).

I have no problem posting on Facebook when I'm on vacation.
I do have a problem when my neighbors know I'm on vacation.

Not always. Facebook is connected to a lot of things do you might be on your phone in a hotel lobby, read a Yahoo article, and then it automatically loads on your FB "so and so read this article at Palm Springs Resort" or something.

It's not always an obvious, conscious thing now...unfortunately.

Sounds like you need to move seeing you can't trust your neighbors.

Yeah, well, you never know what you get when you buy a house.

Bummer... I'm lucky... all my neighbors are pretty good about watching out for each other.

Facebook is a mind controlling tool employed by illuminati for wars to be fought in future.

Get a big dog, Rotweiller, Rhodesian Ridgeback, Pitt Bull, Bull Mastiff and train it to protect the house. Have a relative or very trusted friend feed him while you are away...serves me well.

To those who would walk out. It's easy easy to say you would walk out if a company asked for your fb password. Would you walk out if you were 8 months behind in your mortgage with 4 young kids and had not been able to find work in 2 years. Just asking
