    +a bunch. Would you believe our friends eduardo and kiwi actually used their REAL personal info on that site? They've both shut down their profiles recently for personal reasons (i.e. ed doesn't want his ex spying on him), but that data is still out there on teh interwebs!

    Having a good troll account can always come in handy. Facebook makes it a little more difficult but time is everything. People will add and try to talk to some pretty pictures, even when they never answer back.

    Misclassified accounts are personal profiles that have been made for companies, groups or pets. Those types of profiles (22.9 million) are allowed on Facebook, but they need to be created as Pages. Facebook estimates that 2.4% of its active accounts are these non-human personal accounts. These accounts can be converted into approved pages without losing information.
    I wonder how many Ron Paul group accounts fall in this category.

    "Facebook is the new Meetup"

    Lets not do this again. It didn't work well.

    Public education is not education ... it is schooling.
    Our military is not defense ... it is warmongering and empire building.
    Government police do not protect ... they control.
    Regulations do not regulate ... they protect the status quo.
    Government banks do not distribute money based on effort ... it is gifted to close friends ... and some of it trickles down.

    The result is war, poverty, fear, chaos, and hopelessness for most people with abundance for a few elite.

    "On Facebook we have a really large commitment in general to finding and disabling false accounts," Facebook's chief security officer Joe Sullivan told CNN in a recent interview. "Our entire platform is based on people using their real identities."

    I'll be fucked if I know, brother. I was shocked to find how much personal info people just give away on FB when I made my artists' page. It used to take some effort to get women to tell you these things...now you just have to look them up on FB.

    LOL! They want to make money off of their users by selling their information so they can't stop new accounts from being created without permission unless they start banning IP addresses. Facebook is a joke. If they dare start charging users to post on facebook over 75% of users would leave. There is nothing stopping people from creating an account with a real life person's name that doesn't have a facebook and spamming with that account.

    When you exist as an entity to sell private information about people then don't be surprised when people use that network to destroy your company. Facebook is crashing and burning, and I love it!

    Meh... this story is lame.

    If they don't delete fake accounts they're damned. If they do delete fake accounts they're damned.

    I can see the "FACEBOOK CENSORS RON PAUL ACCOUNTS!!!" threads spring up like crazy if they did delete accounts. How many fake Ron Paul supporter accounts are there? Lots, from my experience. Personally, I do not give a fuck, but people would be bitching twice as loud if they did start deleting fake accounts.
    "The average person figures that the president tells the truth, the vice president tells the truth, the secretary of state tell the truth; and they don't. They don't. The founders understood that people would be flawed, that political leaders would not be the best of men … so they set forth the constitution. We don't follow the constitution in this country; had we done so in 2001 and 2002, the world would be a different place" - Karen Kwiatkowski

    (after ONE year as a "member") User's Facebook Data Request Produces 1222 Pg PDF on CD

    Facebook apparently collects more data about yourself and your activities than you may realize.

    24-year-old Facebook user Max Schrems of Vienna, Austria recently sent a formal request to the social network and asked for a copy of every piece of personal information the site has collected on him since he created an account a year ago. According to ThreatPost, EU Directive 95/46/EC (PDF) grants each person the right to access data relating to him/her in order to verify the accuracy of that data and the lawfulness of how long it's being used. What he eventually received was a CD packing a 1,222 page collection in a single PDF file.

    To Schrems' surprise, much of the data he discovered to be retained in Facebook's records were previously believed to be deleted. These records included the times when Schrems logged in and out of Facebook, the times and content of every message sent and received, and an "accounting of every person and thing he’s ever liked, posted, poked, friended or recorded." Facebook kept records of friend requests, photos, employment and relationship statuses, and former or alternative names and email addresses.

    What facebook knows about you


    A couple of months ago the Austrian law student Max Schrems asked facebook to send him all their data stored about him. All Europeans have a right to do this. Because facebook is based in Dublin, Ireland. It took a while and then facebook sent Max a CD with 1222 PDF files. - Read more at http://www.taz.de/facebook-en

    Thanks Max Schrems!
