Privacy stealing Bitches

Anthony, unless someone is looking to make a "big heist" of the Oceans 11 kind, no one is going to bother with making up prosthetic devices to fool the average scanners. If the average "joe" is asked to use such things they are not of the highest level devices either. That shit is 'layers' thick and has human backup. I'm pretty sure the stuff Gunnen used in the army wasn't stuff that was so easily fooled too. Besides, I don't think some degenerate Iraqi could pull off such a scheme at a checkpoint.

When it comes to finger prints, on the crap scanners you can use a photo copy of the finger print to fool the scanner. For the better ones you do a reverse moldof a finger in latex and it defeats almost all of them. Iris scanners can be tricked easily as well, except you need time to make the replica right for the better scanners. Facial recognition can be fooled with a prosthetic mask like movie make up artists make.

Actually the guy I was referring to used $3 worth of candy (gummy bears) and some other tools to fool the finger print scanner.

Is the article I read it in earlier this year while working on a term paper.

Facebook is at it again. They are launching a new feature called Places & Tips or Place Tips.

This feature lets YOU know more about where you are and where you are posting from. Yes, because you have no fucking clue where you are. You need Facebook to tell you.

THIS SEARCH RESULT will give you plenty of info on this coming feature if it's not on your device already.

THIS is Facebook's instructions on how to turn it off.

You can turn it off but I'm betting that info is still being fed to those "in charge" and being sold to the spammers or gov't agency asking for it. Call me paranoid, but I don't like this kind of shit.

You're paranoid. But probably quite correct also.

I just don't like some other entity other than myself announcing where I am and when I was there. I'm quite capable of doing that myself IF I want to announce my every move.

So far it looks like its a mobile device app feature and I can't find the setting for it on my iPad as per their instructions. I don't use it on my phone at all.

Hopefully you all are using the Firefox browser and not that awful Chrome or god forbid, Internet Explorer - here is a nice little add on for FF that will stop all the spying from Facebook. It does NOT stop your addiction to the site though. You can use FB as normal.

And for those who think those new emoji's are a good idea, I assure you they are not.

At first you were able to not use those and only use the regular like button, but as far as I can tell, as of today that option does not exist.
