Facebook gave third party developers access to 6.8 million users' private photos

I use FB, but I do so with the expectation that it will have a data breach. Which means that I never let it run the camera, and I only copy photos to it that I am happy with getting plastered all over everywhere. Which is usually photos of circuit boards.

OK, so it’s mostly antique cars and miscellaneous technical gizmos. And a very blurry SantaCon pic. And me rocking a 15-year-old cellphone.

Thems are some sweet antique cars

I’m still pleased that Facebook can’t identify me in any pictures friends have put up on FB, and will take that distinction as long as I possibly can. My Real Name ™ is NUNYA.

So does this include all the naked pictures Facebook asked people to submit for its automatic content blocking system (that was supposed to prevent revenge porn)?

I’ll throw Zuckerberg a bone here and make the generous assumption that this year was all about him showing me and others like me how wise we were for never joining his platform and becoming one of his “dumb f*ck” users.

I look forward to outliving him so that I can piss on his grave. After I teach nonexistent grandkids hopefully by then to piss on his grave along with Trump and a few other people.

Basically our family trips will be public urination in large cemeteries. There’s a lot of things that anger me let’s just say that.

If you are willing to take on a few surrogates, I’d love to send you a jug of my family’s urine for your next vacation. I’m jealous of your free time and dedication to the cause.

Probably not this time, but I’m sure they will leak sooner or later. Software bug isn’t even necessary, there just needs to be one “disgruntled employee” with access to the data. And even worse, such pictures would be probably quite valuable on black market.

This from the company that encouraged you to upload your nudes to prevent revenge porn.

I have never been offered someone else’s urine for a good cause from a random stranger. This is unsettling.

I work 50 hour weeks as a machinist. I have very little free time. I assume at some point in the future I might have my own family and in between doing normal family trips we would stop to piss on the graves of the bastards of my generation, but it’s more a sentiment and wishful thinking.

When automated drone delivery systems take off, this would offer a lot of possibilities.
