Technological FUBAR

blackberry, iphone, droid, computer, pc, mac, laptop, netbook, wi-fi, texting, emails, ims, facebook, twitters, myspace......the list goes on....well it's a link to one another, did you realize that?

someone you don't want to talk to is on the net, comes across a search on facebook for people in a certain town, they find the town and see thousands of hits, but one of them is someone they went to school with, so they go and check out that person's profile, their new friends profile appears to not be very private and shows all their friends, of which that the someone might know, from that new friend list the someone finds a "like" of a business that looked like a popular hangout when they were younger, so that someone "likes" it, that new list of people shows yet more friends, of which one is recognized, that someone checks out that new profile and sees a business connection, that person googles the business name and finds a ton of hits, one of which is connected to an old email address, that person emails the old email address which gets forwarded to another address (unknown to that someone).....all it took was a few clicks, go figure.

no matter how much you try to limit your exposure you truly can't. one way or another, either by direct connection or by link or other connection, you can have no privacy at all. solution? get your information off the net dumbass! well, not so simple, try googling yourself, just SEE how old those search responses are.

it is trully fubar


this was seriously not based on real events, just a situational awareness that came to me today
