No, it's much easier to complain about Facebook than to actually delete Facebook. Also, there is the possibility that the deep state biderbergs globalists benghazi blacklivesmatter bill and melinda gates foundation Israel Hillary's email server ~~ Soros wants us to delete our Facebook account so a new social media site can be used to enslave us all.

They’re dumb fucks..

This resource is filled with perverts.

How else will you be able to demonstrate dissent from your racist family members or show the public (internet) how much you disagree with elected officials? /s[!]

I cannot hold a business account on Facebook (which is sadly critical to what I do) without a personal account. If I delete my Facebook, my business page goes down

Same

fake name & totally empty - personal account. problem solved.

Good point. I could create the fake account, transfer ownership to it, then delete my personal. So simple I can't believe I didn't think of that! Thanks stranger

It’s still going to listen to you though. Don’t keep the app on your phone.

I mean, Google does it regardless. I just don't want a Facebook for a number of reasons.

Can everyone complaining about this sub-reddit being full of spam just delete their account already instead of filling it with more spam?

Meta...

Complaining actually voices your concerns. If nobody complained, plenty folks would be oblivious

If anyone is oblivious as this point they are willfully so. Many folks simply prefer the safety of seeing just the curtain when they look out their window, rather than see the reality of the their world.

Same reason the contrail people won't use air filters or the flouride people won't use water filters.

Complaints and sympathy are the goal. Not solutions to their imagined problem.

Does water filter work on fluoride?

It's a crazy amount of work and money for the average person to do, and would only be possible if you owned your own house really if I remember correctly. Not really the fairest example.

A dedicated RO faucet is only $250. And fits under the sink.

Either permenantly installed or just tapped in and easy to remove.

Thanks for the info. I will look into one of these when I eventually get my own house.

"Because kidney stones suck"

yes they do, I'm going to check out a RO faucet

I've had 15 in my lifetime. And zero since i put in the RO system.
I try to drink 1.5 - 3 liters a day of it.

Its just kind of a pain in the ass 2x a year to drain/sanitize/replace filters.

Still well worth it imo.

thanks kindly

Where do I get this in the UK......

I have no idea what sort of hardware/home improvement stores you have available over there.

Here we can get the smaller ones from homedepot or lowes.
Or goto a various water companys that sell filters and filtered water. bottled water delivery companys as well.

Or even order online from various companys all the way to amazon or aliexpress.

You could do the last ones for sure.
Dunno about any of the others tho.

I've always had the impression the UK isn't a big do it yourself type place?

Was hoping that instead of being rude you'd provide a link for the product or even provide a product name and/or product code.

Nevermind, I don't want your reccomendations anyway you poor citizen. Enjoy your country downfall. Thanks for no help what so ever.

We love diy. Whats the brand name of the product?

Mine was made by GE.

Yes. From large regular filters to an entire reverse osmosis sytem.

Delete Facebook

The trouble is that it's not Facebook. It's Siri & Alexa. Zuck didn't lie, he's just not telling the whole truth. FB gets the data from Siri. Apple is the one processing it for metadata.

What if you don't have apple products? It happens to people without Siri too

Yup! That would be Apple's Android sister: Alexa

So Amazon would be the one processing it

Settings > Apps > App Permissions > Microphone > turn everything off that isn't absolutely necessary. Also location and camera permissions. I have them all turned off by default, and go to turn them on only for the time I need it.

I'm just curious...have there been Wireshark tests to prove that none of the mic/video data is being transmitted with those options turned off? It seems to me, if they're going to go through the trouble of mass collecting data, they'd give us fake little buttons to ease our concerned minds.

Also Android, I expect.

You can't delete your account, but we can delete the apps and stop visiting the website.

How do I delete google assistant, I can't even find it?

You can delete your account, they just don't make it easy to find. Google how to permanently delete Facebook

The account will always be there still. Waiting for the sheep to return.

After the 14 days if you type in the same email and pw it will come back like you never deleted it

Worked for both my boy and my girl. My buddy went like 4 months and just typed in the same info. Aslong as its the same email

Oh shit really? I had one back in the day but its been years. Will have to show them

thats why you create seperate email accounts for each one...twitter, facebook and reddit. and whatever else. and only use those accounts for that specific social media. if your email is getting spammed stop ascociating it to social media. they are all looking at your email data and searches.

its built in in my android 7 but you can disable it. as soon as i did all the adds stopped. i personally think its face book that is listening all the time.

I can understand people being annoyed, but also what’s the worst that can really happen from it? It creeps me out a bit when I notice it, but it’s not like a surprise, and there’s no real consequence? We’re probably being monitored at all times anyway

That's the spirit!

I do think there is value in exposing it. Zuckerberg explicitly said to congress that FB doesn't listen or have the tech to use voice for these purposes. That means at least a couple things. Zuck lied (easy), congress knows and is complicit, or congress is satisfied with the lie and there's literally no reason for us to trust them (I believe the latter and former can be true at the same time).

I love these stories. Happens all the time and I just think of this clip.

How come this is being talked about so much lately? It's nothing new.

Btw I have made a video on surveillance if you are interested.

Pre crime, Echelon, FB = Life Log, Alexa, Vault 7 and more.

Don't install Facebook on your phone, use adblocking software. Problem solved.

But facebook market place...

Dont have facebook or a smartphone, still being served ads based on conversations

Then from where?

Printed on paper and delivered in person.

Through other peoples phones, served to me on youtube. Creepy how they tie my voice to my account though

Remember that time when everyone reported accelerator pedals on their cars were getting stuck?

Yeah...

It’s not just Facebook that does this. I deleted mine around 6 months ago, still get these types of ads on pandora/Spotify.

If we delete Facebook and stop complaining, how will Facebook ever hear that we have complaints?

I can't delete the app from my phone

Did it come pre-installed on your phone?

Yep

delete your entire phone

That solves this case. Next!

Can I ask what phone it is?

Sony

Start using a flip phone then. Is the minor benefits to a smart phone really worth giving up all your privacy and information to soulless corporations, the government, and anyone else who decides to listen in?

Facebook is only the latest to get caught with their hand in the cookie jar, everything you get for "free" is being paid for somehow, most of it is from sales of your data. Windows operating system, that $500 drawing you entered, even that online petition you signed to make your voice heard to the FCC they are all collecting and selling your data. The disparaging part is the amount of data being collected and who is getting access to it. Take a look at the usage logs of your modem, it's amazing the amount of data that transfers when your electronics are supposed to be asleep. These programs all serve a purpose, it's up to the user to decide if the, not really free, price is worth the purpose of that app. Terms Of Service need to be less ambiguous and easier to read.

Think of Facebook as a tool. We can use

"everytime i eat a turd my stomach aches"

I need a thing to complain about, why would I do that?

Dont have a FB account. It happens to me on instagram, yet instas TOS and other documents claim they don't listen to you through the mic. This must be exposed

This has happened to me and we don't even use facebook in here.

Goat post

People like facebook because we don't write letters anymore. Facebook claims to be free, but they have to pay bills and advertisements pay those bills. It is the part of the system. Either deal with it or quit.

I hear what you are saying. "I want my friends to stop bitching so much."

I believe that "Facebook" listening to people works like jury duty. It's a rotating algorithm. It turns on, here and there, sporadically. ( I put Facebook in quotes because it could easily be an Amazon or Google exploit.)

For some people it never turns on, or when it does, it has nothing to report and rotates to the next person. This is why there are two sides of the belief coin on this.

"Didn't happen to me, can't be real" "Just happened to me, totally real"

It did happen to me, but it didn't happen when I was trying to make it happen after that. I found that curious.

As an aside, you can see who has your information.

The day I quit Facebook my email inbox exploded with spam. Over 100 unique companies that I have never had dealings with.

And the phone calls started.

I had Facebook because of a business I had started, so my phone number was attached.

It was, more or less, fine while I had FB.

The day I quit I started getting calls about student loans and other shit. I've never had a student loan.

Those, I told enough of them to fuck off, apparently, that they sold my number. Now it has shifted to most of the calls being a robot offering me a job.

They spoof numbers, by the way. I pick up because it's a number in my area code.

I've had 15 in my lifetime. And zero since i put in the RO system.
I try to drink 1.5 - 3 liters a day of it.

Its just kind of a pain in the ass 2x a year to drain/sanitize/replace filters.

Still well worth it imo.
