Reminder: other people can see your likes and favorites on social networking

It could also be that they are seeking some sort of ‘authenticity’ to get off on; or (particularly for the…more specialty flavors) seeking the affirmation that there are real people really into whatever it is they are; which isn’t reassurance you can get from the fact that there are professionals enduring your deviant tastes because they need the money.

I’d be interested to know how the reasons break down; but I’m not sure how you’d gather such data, since the subjects may not even know the reasons themselves.

I left Facebook because of that. Even explaining what Britain First wanted to do to people like me wouldn’t stop relatives from liking their crap.

I did try liking stuff from various Antifa groups for a while in retaliation but my heart wasn’t in it (the liking, I’m quite happy with the anti-fascism)

AOL 2.0: Walled Garden’s Revenge. Especially with the IPv4 address crunch; there’s a disconcerting possibility that having ‘facebook access’ rather than ‘internet access’ might become a technical reality as well as a matter of user cluelessness. That would be a grim event.

For me, it’s the opposite. I would think that if people like sex so much, they wouldn’t hide it away as a separate aspect of life.

But what’s the point in hiding it? How is it any more “awkward” to know about than their appreciation of geology or Hawaiian shirts?

We already have mobile plans with “unlimited Facebook and WhatsApp” in Brazil. Which is relevant because mobile data is a still a pretty limited and expensive good around here.

The number of sites that say, “Do you want to log in with your facebook account?” and lack a “Fuck off!” option is depressing.

I tend to use my likes in the same way, keeping tabs on the things I wanted to see again.

In keeping with the theme of the post, I do kind of regret not having saved old video clips of porn I’ve seen in the past that was a lot less “Creepy and Hate-Filled” as the stuff that invades porn sites these days, though. The thought of whatever is driving the trends these days makes me shudder.

Some people think you can’t be a normal or good person if you like porn. If you value friendships with those people and aren’t against porn, or you don’t want to bother other people who find it offensive, you can be discreet. I welcome anyone’s efforts to keep their porn habits off my Facebook feed, although the idea that they like sex or porn doesn’t offend me.

That’s the sole reason when I like a Facebook page. Because it’s something I want to follow and get updates on. I mean, my vet is great but I don’t like their page to show other people. I just want to see their news.

You know, for all the times that a headline on the internet stretches the central point of an article to the most click-bait-y extreme, I think it’s only fair to recognize how incredibly restrained this particular one is, considering the details of the subject matter.

A fb friend of mine got in a heated argument about the labelling of non-gmo foods – starting with a post she made to Kellogg’s asking why they won’t label their foods non-gmo… She didn’t say anything bad – no cursing or anything – but the mere existence of this argument is enough .

Bottom line is don’t say anything on facebook that you don’t want everyone you know to see. This goes for your timeline and visitor pages. I nearly dropped FB completely but … then I don’t know when people die, or something. I dunno.

Oh yeah and the liking of the soft porn is not hard to find. Dad down the street is quite the assman, just going by his instagram likes.

Isn’t Spam the biggest factor? As usual I can’t remember the specifics, but wasn’t there a case a few years back where a blokes spam hosting server got taken down and Internet traffic fell by 25% [citation needed].
