Facebook now officially sucks

    I took some pics of my dick; opened up facebook smartphone app and the pics showed up asking if I wanted to share them with my friends.

    Almost had a heart attack thinking they were uploaded to my timeline automatically. Had to press X to decline suggestion.

    Facebook is getting way to intrusive.

    On a serious note, do facebook now upload my private pics to their servers before they put them on my suggestion feed.

    Feeling very uncomfortable with the way things are going. Absolutely no privacy anymore.

    They don't upload them, it's just synced with your phone until you upload them yourself.

    Yeah but can you be sure about that ? Bandwidth is much cheaper and faster now so...

    It's just a camera roll thing they have. In saying that plenty of people have sent me cock pictures on Facebook until I changed my settings but that was done deliberately.

    Which setting do I adjust so I'm sure to receive cock pics.

    But seriously , it might be 'just a camera roll thing' as you say but how do I know it's not being uploaded as well .

    I agree with me that they are ripping as much data of my phone as they can.

    Every second or third day or so they ask me to protect my account by giving them my phone number. I have to decline this now on an incessant basis. I have declined , declined and declined and still the app pesters me for it regularly.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,130 ✭✭✭Surreptitious


    Just give them the phone number.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,004 ✭✭✭✭Realt Dearg Sec


    Just give them the phone number.

    Do you really believe it's just a security measure?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 71,802 ✭✭✭✭Ted_YNWA


    It was because of all this data mining that I deleted the app from my phone 2+ years ago.

    It has been around for years OP.

    You can't do anything anymore without linking it to FB


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,130 ✭✭✭Surreptitious


    It's true. When I get a voucher I just log in with Facebook then all the ads appear on my page seducing me to buy stuff :(

    Just set up loads of fake accounts like lots of people do on Boards. Oh wait...maybe that doesn't always work here.

    It's a sad day when a man can't take pictures of his penis in the privacy of a bus stop toilet, without having to worry that Zuckerberg will see them.

    Doesn't sound like much bandwidth would be needed in this case though.

    It's not the bandwidth, it's the bandlength that counts. Apparently.

    Move to Italy - the court there yesterday ruled that it's not illegal to masturbate in public, so long as there aren't any kids watching! They didn't mention facebook, but sure they're like jeebus, they watch everything:D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,264 ✭✭✭✭jester77


    Too late OP, they are already out there. Must say, the camera macro mode on your phone is impressive.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 23,646 ✭✭✭✭qo2cj1dsne8y4k


    Why are you sending dick pics? Real men are going out there and disappointing women in person.


  • Moderators, Regional East Moderators Posts: 23,238 Mod ✭✭✭✭GLaDOS


    You could try not taking pictures of your cock?

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    But then a bunch of women he's never met won't know what his penis looks like.

    Deleted the app years ago, check it on the laptop once a month max.

    Let's not go straight for the nuclear option.

    The people I send them too ask for then and want to see them desperately.

    No women has every seen my cock only my mother. That's cause I've got taste.



    Actually, I was being deliberately sensational by saying cock pic and I admit now it didn't happen like that. But it could. What did happen was I had taken some pics of a printed bank account details I have to pay into for my rent so I took a few pics instead of having to write the details down. Later when I opened up facebook app the pics were there in-line asking me to share them which just looked so ridiculous.

    Again, I object to having to decline invitation to share and that the app is scanning my camera album for new pics.

    Other annoying things are the way it's getting personal with me as in wishing me Good Morning/Evening, asking me to look back at my memories, etc., getting me all emotional lol .

    But yeah think I agree that If I don't want to put up with this nonsense anymore then it's time to delete, cause it's just getting worse all the time.

    Why do people take pictures of their mickeys? In case they're lost or stolen?

    So that when you wreck it, you can look at the pic and know where all the bits go?
    Like an engine.
    Maybe


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,417 ✭✭✭ToddyDoody


    I have had that nasty experience of hitting the share button accidentally on a porn video. Heart rate doubling (while siting ajar the toilet) in the space of 3 seconds.

    Because when they are demeaning the female species they want the cavewomen to know what's coming for them.

    Glad I stay well clear of the Faceborg hive mind.

    Bit unfair, when you say it like that it makes it sound seedy.

    Hmmm,
    1) don't take pics of your todger
    2) prevent the FB app access to your camera roll
    3) don't take pics of your todger



    If you are going to take a pic of your unit, make sure you are holding it for perspective and wear a nice watch.

    Should have to microchip them, like dogs.

    I think the reason guys don't microchip their mickeys is because they're afraid they will get out at night, go on a rampage and kill some sheep. Then they don't want the guards to be able to trace them back to them.

    Bloody Bonzo, you'd never think he was a killer. :(

    Black & tanned mickeys were different then.

    Good that you maintain a close relationship with her like that.

    The main reason is because in taking a picture of your own junk it will either appear sad, lonely or angry. No-one wants to see a snap of a sad or angry dong.

    It needs to be done right in the right angle, lighting and adornments to make it pretty.

    They are probably constantly been told they are proper tools, so they take proud photos of their dicks.

    I'm not going to suggest googling what I'm thinking of suggesting googling before a team of mods countersigns on this post to let me know it's ok.

    Very NSFW. Very funny.

    So, I decided to delete my Facebook account. Been 2 months now. Good riddance.

    No more can I spy on people I hardly know. Not that I wanted to spy on them anyway.

    List of things I don't miss:

    Viewing pics of people in happy situations. They it be a marathon they just completed or some other inconsequential achievement.

    Knowing who is friends of friends. Not really knowing if they are actually real friends for just facebook friendbait.

    Facebook telling me I don't have enough friends, and suggesting I should be friends with these other people.

    Facebook logging all my chats, for advertising purposes.

    Facebook accessing all my phone numbers on my phone and matching them up to other facebook user to suggest, friends. It ain't necessarily so.

    Friends wishing me a happy birthday, when they never used to before, even when I used to send them a text message when I remembered theirs (friends abroad), without having being to be reminded on facebook. We all have friends and secondary friends but real friends do more for your birthday than posting on you timelime.

    Friends I know from living abroad, that don't interact with me in the same way they used to over email. An email was a virtual letter, and no one does that anymore.

    Armature photography: Everyone is a pro photographer nowadays with their high res cameras. I've seen enough scenery pics to last me a lifetime. If people want to climb mountains that's fine. If it's a personal spiritual experience for you , that's fine. But you just ruin it by showing off about it.

    And finally sporty sport fitness people. I go to the gym. I lift weights, I run. This is a private thing I do. I don't brag about it. I don't post pic of my muscles to make other people feel inferior or envious, or even to spur myself on for congratulatory comment one could get.

    So Mark zuckerburg, you can **** off with you social media crap. I much preferred the way things were.
