I checked all my settings on Facebook and all the notifications are
turned off. I have tried to keep access to friends and family only.

Then I discovered that somehow I also have an "Advertising Account". It
has my email address but it's something I never signed up for or even
knew about. If you use it, it charges $$ to a credit card or something.

Anyway, that was enough. Found the appropriate page and deleted my
Facebook account completely. It's getting too wacky and too
"collective" in terms of information on you.

Haven't noticed anything like that.


The only strange thing I have seen was when I bought something on Ebay
and the next day an ad from a relative for that exact item showed up
in Mr Ed's timeline. He didn't have a clue and I am pretty sure Ed was
not shopping on Ebay. They had to have sniffed a cookie on my machine
when Ed was on Facebook.


Time to burn that computer and everything in the room it is
in...damn...a cookie...the horror of it.

The issue is that they forged an ad from someone on the friend list,
based on a cookie they found on the computer.
Since I delete cookies after the session I must have still had the
facebook session going when I did that Ebay transaction. I have been
careful not to do anything else when I am in facebook and I have not
seen anything like it since.
I am surprised that you think this corporation has the right to snoop
on it's customers for profit. I thought corporate profits were evil.

BTW talking about privacy, have you seen the reports coming from NSA
leakers that the reason they do not really have the smoking gun on the
russian hacks of the DNC is they think it was really an inside job.
There may have been a hack but disgruntled DNC people may have leaked
some if not all of the Emails.
Considering how "leaky" the whole political process has become, I bet
the truth is somewhere in the middle.

The various shenanigans that take place on Facebook don't bother me very
much. I use a Facebook filtering system that works pretty well for many
of its annoyances. If there is a mysterious connection between Facebook
and eBay, and, horrors, some sort of ad was generated...well...no biggie.

I'm not really watching the Hillary-DNC email saga anymore.

I don't really care if anyone know I bought a lap top battery but
faking an ad from a 3d person from it might be troubling to some.
The connection was not between Ebay and facebook. It was from random
cookies FB sniffed from my machine. (the only place it could have come
from)
You do seem to be more interested in privacy than me tho since you
post here under the name of a homicidal maniac and not your real name
bouncing off on an East German server.

Wait...you think I am trying to hide my real name? Who here doesn’t know
it?


You don't post with it. You must think you are hiding it from someone.




Please. Unlike you and some of your buddies here, I don't suffer from
paranoia. I post with my real name on Facebook and the conversations
there are a lot "wilder" than the crap posted here. No, I use Keyser
because it apparently annoys some of the righties here. You've tried to
make an issue of it several times...does it annoy you, too?

I understand why you do it, and I don't blame you for wanting to
