Facebook... both good and bad at the same time. There are more ways to get in trouble on there than there are ways to not... Relationships have been lost, jobs have been lost, criminals have been caught, and so much. I often think it would be better to delete my profile, especially when I see these kind of stories.

have you ever checked your Ad Preferences ? They make it incredibly difficult to remove bulk items (you can't). I'm going one by one right now. I've been slowly sliding away from it for months as I build more IT professional contacts. They're being too money hungry and underhanded for me.

SSG Pete Fleming - I didn't know that. I may simply move toward RSS feeds and IRC.

But, all of these social platforms track users. And not only social media platforms. But ALL websites, forums, news and entertainment sites. What about your ISP? If you use a cookie application or extension, you can see cookies that are attached to your surf that arent even a part of the websites one looks at other than to piggyback onto their browser session. Its all about business.

And what about the Adobe super cookie? That is old news (not to mention difficult to remove).

Whats even more significant news (to me) are websites like Doximity, which accessed hospital systems and got Doctors names and information, then created accounts for them whether they wanted that or not. A Doctor only has to register to "retrieve" his or her account. Not create it. Its already there. Hospitals and Healthcare systems handed the information over to Doximity under the guise of getting Doctors to vote under the annual ranking system that is so important to Hospitals etc (10 best hospitals or the nations 100 best hospitals).

All industry experts agree that Doximity will be sold for a huge profit, and user information and privacy (if there in fact really was any) will be open to interpretation-

This is the most disturbing thing I'll read today, I'm sure.
