IS THE JOKE ON US
By: C. Harrison/August 11, 2016/6:36 AM
The reason why we shouldn’t allow Facebook to take over our private inbox messages is because here, people can talk to certain friends privately. We talk to other friends not so privately because we probably don’t know them that way. And Facebook allow for everything not only to go public but every single person you become friends with can see your private messages, even the ones to your family members. But then Facebook already know this.
If you are conversing in your phone’s private message inbox, the messenger sms picks it up as well and if you try to delete it out of Facebook messenger or however it is setup, they delete it out of your private message inbox also. This just happened to me a few hours ago; all because you don’t want it in messenger and didn’t choose messenger as default for this particular message. This act by Facebook is egregious. Many are stating on social media that Facebook, is heavy handed when it come to this. We understand that the computer can’t differentiate but the people who program them can and they should separate the two.
Not every message should be shown to all of your party on your face book page or be made public. Something has to be done. The reason being is that your friend via their friends who you don’t know can actually also see your conversation. This is a problem, I can tell you that I have seen my fair share of conversation between people not pertaining to me and who I have no idea who they were and their information was very private.
Perhaps this was what was done to Mrs. Clinton’s messages. If so, then it was either FB, Google or whoever is her phone carrier, had a hand in her messages being leaked. I know that the FBI is looking for criminals using phone or sound bits but this is wrong, especially, if you are talking to or sending private messages to family members. If this is allow or continue to be allowed, then we have become a Utopia of sorts; (Houston we have a problem), where corporations tell the Government (us) how they are going to run the Communication Businesses, in this country and we have no say so, even if its our information they are using and clamoring to use. Or maybe they’re trying to tell us its already done. In which case, we better storm Congress now, seen as it affects everyone inside this country.
We have to become more aware of how these communication companies are using our information to make money and shutting us out of the equation. Or become mindful of at least who they’re showing it to or sharing it with. Wakeup people!
