Mark Zuckerberg testified before Congress last month, and there were a few points he needed to clarify. He promised to get back to the legislators, and so he did.
Here’s the list:
information from “computers, phones, connected TVs, and other web-connected devices,” as well as your “internet service provider or mobile operator”
2. “mouse movements” on your computer
3. “app and file names” (and the types of files) on your devices
4. whether the browser window with Facebook open is “foregrounded or backgrounded,” and time, frequency, and duration of activities
5. information about “nearby Wi-Fi access points, beacons, and cell towers” and “signal strength” to triangulate your location (“Connection information like your IP address or Wi-Fi connection and specific location information like your device’s GPS signal help us understand where you are,” said a Facebook spokesperson.)
6. information “about other devices that are nearby or on their network”
7. “battery level”
8. “available storage space”
9. installed “plugins”
10. “connection speed”
11. “purchases [users] make” on off-Facebook websites
12. contact information “such as an address book” and, for Android users, “call log or SMS log history” if synced, for finding “people they may know” (Here’s how to turn off contact uploading or delete contacts you’ve uploaded.)
13. information “about how users use features like our camera” (The Facebook spokesperson explained, “In order to provide features like camera effects, we receive what you see through camera, send to our server, and generate a mask/filter.”)
14. “location of a photo or the date a file was created” through the file’s metadata
15. information through your device’s settings, such as “GPS location, camera, or photos”
16. information about your “online and offline actions” and purchases from third-party data providers
17. “device IDs, and other identifiers, such as from games, apps or accounts users use”
18. “when others share or comment on a photo of them, send a message to them, or upload, sync or import their contact information”

After 6 years I deleted my account. They don't make it easy at all.
Then from deletion it takes 14 days to disappear.
Wonder what I'll do with all the free time, won't have as many fun memes to post on here, but maybe I'll speak to my family more. :-)- did you d/l your data first and manually delete your likes, comments and photos?notype
- FYI you are never going to be deletednudes
- just logged and followednudes
- I imagine it's all still there waiting for me to return. Like heroin.PhanLo
- I've been clean since 2014, stay strong!mrAtor
- I think about this every time I login. I follow so many labels though. Maybe I should just delete all my friends.section_014
- I stopped riding dirty in 2010, GFY Facebook!utopian
- It doesn’t get deleted, your account just goes into a disabled state till you log in againmoldero
- You can login a couple years later and your account will be back just as you left it but activemoldero
- I know because I just accidentally logged into my old account a couple weeks ago and it basically just activated itmoldero
- If there’s a way to really delete it I’d love to know howmoldero
- running a plugin called 'social book post manager' which i've had removing everything more than 1 years old... finding a ton of posts just can't be deleted.kingsteven

I haven't deleted my account, but I did take the app off my phone (I needed the storage space). It seems even less useful/compelling when you only check it once a day from your desktop or use the clunky mobile site.

The government should run Twitter and Facebook like US Mail, unfortunately. Take the privatization away and monitor for terrorism.
- No wait this is a terrible idea. People trust the govt less than corporatesince1979
- They're the same fucking thingset
- Except for the privatization. Tax payers would run itsince1979
- Yea right, lolset
- I know. It would never work and features would take forever to be added. But that's the reality of a government-driven social media platformsince1979
- But it would have zero ads and be as secure as social securitysince1979
- Yikes. Sounds worse with every word.since1979

- see what i saw? i didn't either. i was too concerned thinking about what you'd think about what I saw to see what was happening, so i took this picture.imbecile

- Not a big fan of Facebook, but this just seems like media piling on.yuekit
- Facebook doesn't deserve *any* sympathy whatsoever. The media, the media's dog, the media's wife who gets flirty after a drink or two - they can pile on to fuckface_melter

- any way you look at this, it's disturbing.Krassy

Every social network would become a problem one way or the other because the goal of their creators is or become to make the more money as possible.
We would need an open source platform on a model like Wikipedia as a social network

Apple CEO criticizes monetization of customers’ personal information
- Fuck both companiesutopian
- Yea fuck them both, trading morals as if either one of them is anything other than an anti-human corporationset
- Suicide net man can't say anything.PhanLo
- Apple makes its money selling ads on its platform, more than selling info. That's kinda their thing, no?monospaced
- apple wants a cut of everyone's app money, huge revenue stream for them. $6bn+ annuallyimbecile
- Exactly. That’s not even selling data.monospaced

OMG just discovered we can disable Retweets in twitter!
thats a game changer!
- thanks Gnash for pointing me to Twitter. I made a huge cleanup and its suddenly more interesting.Bennn
- the massive retweeters made me back off from it. Some people seems to retweet EVERYTHING and it pollute your timelineBennn
- Agreed. The worst is when they retweet the same user over and over. I follow someone because I want to read their tweets, not other people's.set
- disable the retweet! I'm using Twitter again since I discovered that functionBennn
- i follow you think btw :DBennn

Facebook is juts a big RSS reader with family members and friends posts mixed with the rest.
- good way to look at it.plash
- < This 100%kona
- The newsfeed used to be ok in the first few years of FB, but especially in the last year it's just a bunch of ads. Worse is it's different if you refresh.shapesalad
- You do a refresh and then your friends post is now a 10 scrolls down, and newsfeed is in a weird order. Full of shite ads too.shapesalad
- I blocked all my families.pango
- Even my mother uses a fake name on FB.
<img src="roll-safe.jpg" alt="Facebook can't give out your personal information if they don't have your personal info">soundofreason - ^ not the case; they have info of people who don't even have an FB account. They scrub data from FB accounts' phone contacts!Krassy
- yes, cute, naive and true, but it's also collecting their personal details and selling it to marketers, which an RSS feed doesn't domonospaced
