Fejsbuk full monitors our operations. All likes, reactions, displays, browsing time, all this is utilized to profile us. besides the network of our acquaintances, the frequency of communication with others, different markings. Fejsbuk does nothing at all about the secret of correspondence. He's tracking our location and the device from which we enter. Photos that we add, share or like are besides analyzed, in alternate texts we can find their content (e.g. “at least 1 person”, “eyes”, “people stand or people dance” etc.). All of this represents the value of the portal which Fejsbuk may sale as a commodity to his advertisers, frequently without control over stored and transmitted data. The subsequent scandals did nothing, not even those touching the creator and president of Fejsbuk himself.
Fejsbuk is determined to pull a telephone number from us, allegedly for login security, so that if we lose access to the account we can easy recover it. It has already been proven that this number is treated like any another data on Facebook that can be sold. Worse still, it is not possible to delete the telephone number. Even if we remove it in options, entering the activity log we inactive see it with the date of addition and deletion. This means that it is kept in the best ever.
Fejsbuk and his telephone number are tracking our activity on the phone. This simple experience proves: a completely fresh account has been established, a completely fresh email address, random data, no photos, after the IP number has been changed and after the browser's temporary files have been cleaned. Fejsbuk was incapable to give any suggestions to his friends. After adding only the telephone number, the proposals immediately featured the people most frequently contacted. It is not known whether on what basis, possibly based on activity in the telephone of these people. In any case, this is simply a very bad sign of Facebook and is simply a clear confirmation that this number is being processed not only for the sake of safety of login.
The activity log is besides an interesting solution, thanks to which we can learn just a small bit how Fejsbuk processes our data. The activity log is expected to supply full access to and removal of our activities. Only it's malfunctioning. For example, any activity in groups can be partially noticed and removed only after leaving the group. There is besides activity that cannot be removed, in addition to the above telephone number, it is, for example, a locality given in the profile data (!).
Fejsbuk requires a real name. In this way, it diminishes our privacy, you gotta combine not to execute under your real name. In utmost cases, Fejsbuk wants us to scan his ID or any another document, and we don't know what precisely happens to that scan. Performing under a real name doesn't aid defend our good name. In Feisbuk, moderation is seriously damaged if we are, for example, defamated, then entries and comments are not decently deleted after filing applications to Feisbuk. There is no 1 there to control profanity. Instead, Fejsbuk can block a average user from viewing profiles erstwhile he sees besides many of them at a given time...
Of course, our friends see everything, whether it's applicable to them. Each of our likes or comments is besides an entry on our board that our friends can see. Even if we're open-minded, that's an exaggeration.
Feisbuk is besides clearly biased towards American imperialism. There is simply a known case of blocking an ad entry in an average way describing the Bolivian coup by Americans and their servants. An example is the account of Łukasz Gajewski, who on his website distributed material on the crimes of Israel and the United States, giving sources and not breaking any general principles, and yet his profile was blocked without even giving an illusory reason.
Fejsbuk causes the habit of reading only headers, without clicking on further material content. quite a few weight is taken with a image and a single password, resulting from the way you usage it, which involves scrolling. At the same time, Fejsbuk is filled with various unnecessary content. Algorithms advance content according to their popularity, without taking into account the veracity of content, sound, temper or usefulness. Hence, he became a base for spreading false news and conspiracy theories. Their limitation is not in the interests of Fejsbuk, due to the fact that it would reduce movement. Fajsbuk so fights them seemingly, e.g. adding to the content concerning vaccination the applicable communication. The amount of content on Fejsbuk causes moderation to be based on algorithms, and these can always prove unreliable and never replace human judgment. For example, by posting a coloured photograph of Herman Wilhelm Henrykowicz Gering or a photograph containing a swastika, we will get a stand-alone ban – it will have no meaning in the sense in which we put them in, and yet we could not put them in for decapitation or critical purposes. At the same time, the Fejsbuk interior papers show that Fejsbuk recognizes only 3-5% of hatred speech and only 1% of content with force or incitement to violence. Fejsbuk besides has papers about the harmful influence of Instagram. Instagram has a bad impact on children and young people, has become even dangerous and leads to depression, lower self-esteem. From the inside data of Fejsbuk that leaked, 13.5% of teenage platform users developed suicidal thoughts and 17% experienced problems with accepting their body. 32% of teenage girls believe that their discontent with their body has deepened. At the same time, Instagram causes these people to spend more and more time on this portal, causing them to fall into a vicious circle.
Fejsbuk already openly provides for content, censoring those which he voluntarily considers inappropriate. An example is simply a eloquent image of a bullet falling on Palestine and young people fleeing. erstwhile you throw them on Facebook, you gotta deal with that.
that it will be considered false message and obscured. Fejsbuk immediately advises that the image is not contemporary and is dated for 2007, even if the entry did not propose a modern date in any way. This is biased, due to the fact that Fejsbuk does not check the dating of many another photos, but only the chosen ones. It is not by chance that the chosen photograph concerns Israel's crimes in Palestine. Similarly, the ban on news in Australia, where the only criterion for their removal was the interests of Fejsbuk as a company, and not any of these assessments. Partial was the ban on Donald Jan Fredowicz Tramp. It is biased to interfere with the marking and display of entries created by media from Russia or Iran. It was besides interfered with in the content displayed on the user board under task Amplify. This was a task aimed at improving the image of Fejsbuk among users. A affirmative article on Fejsbuk was created and presented, but they did not appear only in the press or company pages, but went on the board of users' novelties, which was direct and subjective interference in the content presented.
Let us add to this various functional errors and inconveniences. Fejsbuk is overflowing with various superfluous features and content, which aim to bring users as much as possible, not to improve readability, velocity of content finding, usability.
Despite this, Fejsbuk overthrew the network, not limited to the social networking function, but taking over a number of functionalities.
Fejsbuk took over as a social gathering. We talk little and meet another people due to the fact that everyone has seen who else is married or died. We frequently know where they were on vacation (or where they are!). Music and jump drinks became the main motivations for going to the premises, primarily due to the fact that Fejsbuk cannot replace them.
Fejsbuk took over the function of communicators. present it is simply simple to compose to individual on Facebook, giving their privacy for nothing. Gadu-Gadu inactive works, messages are not stored on the server after transportation (archives can be turned off), but fewer people usage it. another IRCs usage only a fistful of igniters. any of them have turned off, like WPContact belonging to the erstwhile state-owned Virtual Poland.
Fejsbuk took over the function of the phone. Many people have installed and permanently switched on the Fejsbuka app on their phone, so alternatively of text messages and telephone calls, we choose to communicate via Fejsbuka again, giving up our privacy for nothing. fewer even realize that simple telephone video calls are possible.
Fejsbuk took over the function of discussion forums. Only the largest ones, operating in a much smaller dimension than before, remained. Discussion groups (usenet) are inactive drifting, but most service providers shut down their service or servers (e.g. Telecommunications Poland or Onet.pl) and the level of discussion has frequently fallen even to garbage. Solutions were replaced that we could usage without a name on the layout of groups and comments on Facebook, where the search engine works poorly and in the bulk of various comments it is hard to find something valuable.
Fejsbuk took over as commentator. any publishers let articles to comment on their pages only by the Fejsbuk plugin, specified as PolSat News. If we want to comment there, we gotta do it under our own name, with a link to the profile. What's worse, Fejsbuk is tracking our activity with this plugin, even if we don't post a comment, hence the plugin is blocked if we turn the tracking elements on in the browser.
Fejsbuk took over as a blogger. Most of the blog platforms closed, with only the Blogger belonging to Google and WordPress remaining significant. All Polish closed. erstwhile State Virtual Poland closed its platform Bloog.pl in
The last Polish platform, Blox.pl, closed at the end of April 2019. Instead, we have pages on Facebook.
Fejsbuk besides took over the function of regular web pages. Many companies or restaurants do not have their own website, and they send us to their Facebook site. frequently even if they have their website, it only serves as business cards, and after current news we gotta go to the Facebook page.
In fresh times, Fejsbuk is besides trying to take over the functions of portals with purchase-sale announcements or video portals. It besides develops its search engine to let uncovering more materials in entries, photos, events, etc. He besides leads to his own cryptocurrency of the Libra, which is to be a means of payment.
The focus of specified a large number of functionalities and their acquisition from another places raises the question, is it possible not to usage Facebook at all?
When it comes to the social layer, it definitely is. It is better to learn about various events of individual life from conversations with others than from Facebook. And if we don't find out about them, there's nothing lost. Fejsbuk frequently creates an illusion of friendship, and the number of friends is not at all predicated on the degree of social contact. By limiting the usage of Fejsbuk let's decision our individual life back beyond the network. alternatively of writing with individual on Facebook, let's just call or meet him. Let's visit, meet regularly somewhere in the city or in the country, take regular walks. Let entries about where 1 was on holidays, who was born a child, who entered into a relation with whom, etc., become a thread of direct conversation. Number
"contacts" will then decrease, but the quality of our ties will increase. This will not be artificially maintained by the network, but a real relationship. Back in the day, people didn't have a Facebook, but, you know, they didn't have internets and telephone calls.
The communication was very limited in rule only to letters and telegrams, yet they knew where to meet, where to find
friends, where to go and where to have fun – social life flourished.
If we have any passions and passions that we would like to share online with another people with akin interests, we can make a blog or our own web site, which is rather simple. Similarly, if we have any economical activity requiring communication with others – the self-interest is better.
Most of the Facebook entries are junk. Comments usually don't mean anything. It is unproductive to have a discussion in Feisbuk. It's all taking us time to replace it with a simple walk or a good book.
We besides don't request a Facebook to know about the world. Many portals offer the anticipation to receive a free letter with news to email. You can besides usage RSS readers. A good and at the same time a banal way is simply to visit websites regularly, whether straight from addresses or by adding your favourite pages to bookmarks. In this way, we decide for ourselves what kind of news and from what origin they scope us erstwhile we have limited options for specified a choice on Facebook.
Unfortunately, today, without Fejsbuk, we isolate ourselves not only from unnecessary things, but besides from useful messages. Without Fejsbuk, we may not know the events of the local community center or even the village house. We may besides not find out about actions specified as the Red past Campaign, which is worth observing. specified examples are many, and this is the most frequently mentioned defect in the removal of Fejsbuk.
What, then, if it is hard to do without a Facebook? Of course, Facebook will do a lot to absorb and collect as much data from us as possible. Therefore, it is best to usage Facebook minimalistly.
Let us observe only those pages and those who throw in interesting things. You can turn off even the closest people we have if their activity is mostly stupid memes or pictures of their child. Let us limit our time to, for example, browsing erstwhile a day.
Let us keep our activity to a minimum, we should not post anything, let us not comment, let us not click “I like it!”, let us not include notifications about fresh comments. Let's just say that if there's any sense in Facebook, it's good that we saw it, but since it's Fejsbuk, we can't do anything more than download it.
Let's effort not to usage the search engine. But if we've already utilized it, we're looking at a search past that's more than just filling up.
Let us limit the profile only to the essential exploratory data, so that our friends know that "we are us" but without any contact details, interests, completed schools, jobs. Let's name it fictitious, or just give the first bottle of names phonetically, es. With this kind of use, there's small chance that individual will study us, and Fejsbuk will have us send a scan of a document.
The best way is to remove the app from the phone, and if we have an urgent request to usage it, let's enter usually through the net browser on the phone, not through the app.
Let us learn from the usage of Fejsbuk in our free time of boredom, alternatively we better focus on, for example, the reflection of the journey, look at people or simply reflect. Eventually, people did not have specified devices, and someway they spent small time on a long journey.
Let us remove everything from the activity log, e.g. entries about stopping watching a friend. In particular, let's clean the search past and the past of the videos watched.
For our own safety, let us besides regularly delete old private messages. Let us usage another forms of communication if possible, we will limit the messages on Facebook to the minimum necessary.
Let's definitely not usage Fejsbuk to log in to another apps and portals, remove accounts associations. Let's turn off the apps and games on Facebook.
The best way to clear and delete the current account is to re-establish the account and then start applying these rules.
The above, of course, will not make us anonymous and safe on Facebook, but at least we will reduce Feisbuk's image, which will be cashed by Feisbuk.
The simplification in activity and interest in certain content will contribute to any degree to the simplification in the importance of Fejsbuk in another ways of reaching the audience.
An alternate to Fejsbuk, for this minute the only sensible one, is in Kontakt (WK, vk.com). It is simply a Russian social network, in the countries of the erstwhile russian Union with an advantage over Fejsbuk. In many places it is more functional than Fejsbuk, and aesthetics beat him to the head. It has a more simple look, without unnecessary content and features, it is more transparent. In addition to the basic functions known from Fejsbuk, we will besides find a video department with full-length films in average quality (yes, they are besides in Polish) and a department with music that we can perceive to during average browsing of the portal (yes, there is besides Polish music). There is besides little pushy and more balanced censorship. The full portal has Polish language. Of course, in the Kontakta there are besides flaws, but the most crucial problem for us is that there are no Poles there. fewer Poles have accounts there, and thus it is not more widely used. less users mean little content, and this causes a vicious ellipse of further little universality.
Fejsbuk's end will come sooner or later. The fall of Fejsbuk would velocity up any crisis, specified as a powerful data leak, but specified a truly serious, widespread global scale, specified as the spread of private messages by many hundreds of millions of users. Fejsbuk's end could origin any kind of malfunction that shuts down this portal for about 2 weeks, which may be impossible but inactive unlikely. It is besides possible that Fejsbuk will die slow and gradually. Unfortunately, the Pejsbuk crises to date were besides small, the cognition of the deficiency of privacy on Fejsbuk seems to be for nothing, and the deficiency of public awareness about this is making it worse.
The solution would besides be to include Feisbuk with regulations that prohibit it from processing excessive data, transferring it to another entities, transferring servers to countries of activity, ordering better moderation, etc. It is right to heal Fejsbuk by his nationalization, as he has already become a "common place" in the network, specified as a pedestrian or marketplace in the city. However, this does not appear to be the case, the European Union's movements are staged and national governments are besides submissive to the United States.
For this moment, it remains as far as possible to restrict its activities on this portal. Read also:
