But my friends didnt

i'm almost positive fb still has a bunch of info on me even though i've never had a fb

because my mom has fb on her phone

I just have fluff conversations with people who refuse to use better chat services

Yeah

FB has all sorts of info on you.

and her phone has my contact info in it

I kinda wanna push to get my friends and family to use signal instead of regular SMS

Oh yes they have all contact info

But a lot of them are apple people

FB is notorious for being able to infer people's relationships /without knowing they exist/

@Tohob you can check, you know

Just download her Facebook data

They'll give you docs of the info gathered

Signal is really solid

Somehow in mine they predicted I like doctors and cannibalism?

🤔

Signal is only solid if you're both using it though, sadly

And BDSM for some reason.....

So I have to convince people to respect their own privacy

It was *weird*

I'm glad I quit FB when I did

When I downloaded my data, they had nothing on me

didn't google once accurately predict that a girl was pregnant before her parents even knew?

I just never posted anything on it past 15 or 16

Yea

Whenever the fuck I made the damned thing

I still have a facebook

Lol

To get people to stop harassing me over it

normie

REEE

ITS OKAY TO BE NORMIE OKAY

If I get rid of mine I lose contact with people 100%

Of course it's okay to be a normie

If there were no normies, think how weird the world would be

My friend's are all on Facebook man

Like I can't convince them to use good apps instead

NO IT'S NOT, IT'S CARDINAL SIN

EAT DICK SCUM

I ALREADY DO

Senny, can I just point out the irony of you saying that when you're part of the "Normie" role?

gay

OH SHIT YOURE A FAG

Yes, you can Revan

People will never pick privacy over other features

Sadly

ACCORDING TO YOUR SPECULATIVE PROFILE, YOU ARE ENJOYING DEGRADING THIS USER

My dad bought one of the little Orwell devices

You can only really do the best for yourself and that’s about it

And Microsoft's not-a-viewscreen

It's a good thing I don't have the cash to buy one....

Heh heh heh heh....

Why would you buy a physical data miner?

My parents got one of the Google Home Minis with a new cell phone for free

They tried offering it to me because they knew they wouldn't use it

I said "Why would I want something that spies on me?"

My government won't spy on me nan

They threw it in the trash

They can't even block porn ffs

Alexa = more of your data going to corporations

Don't ask me how I know

Same with all the competitors

Don't worry, I knew you were a degenerate already :)

But Shivangi, you can't just say something like that and then hold out on the juicy details

how do you know

IM NOT TELLING

Someone in my dorm may find the phone....

Could you at least say if it was an accident or not?

And tell everyone

[HERESY DETECTED]

And I don't want that

Hehe

indecent, you looked at PORNOGRAPHIC IMAGERY

Yes

My parents bought Alexas and it creeps me the fuck out

Wait you don't lock your phone?

Oh it's locked yeah

But it has smart lock

Dude so many people don’t lock their phone

"Smart" lock?

So if you take it at the right time...

It’s insane

It won't be locked

For example if I unlock my phone once

Sounds like a pretty stupid lock

Use a password or a pin, lock your phone when not in use. Always

mine is locked but it's definitely a really simple pattern

And out it in my pocket

It remains unlocked

i tried to make it simpler but it wouldn't let me make it a straight line

It only locks when it's stable

y

It's damn useful because I don't have to unlock it everytime

Like I said, pass or pin

I use a pin

I'm starting to use sentences for my passwords now

Because you're finally allowed to use spaces sometimes
