This Creepy App Isn’t Just Stalking Women Without Their Knowledge, It’s A Wake-Up Call About Facebook Privacy.
Dangerous New App that ALL women should be aware of.

It’s an app that can be interpreted many ways. It is as innocent as it is insidious; it is just as likely to be reacted to with laughter as it is with tears; it is as much of a novelty as it has the potential to be used a tool for rapists and stalkers.

And more than anything, it’s a wake-up call about privacy.


The only way to really explain Girls Around Me to people is to load it up and show them how it works, so I did. I placed my iPhone on the table in front of everyone, and opened the app.

The splash screen elicited laughter all around. It’s such a bitmap paean to the tackiest and most self-parodying of baller “culture”; it might as well be an app Tom Haverford slapped together in Parks And Recreation. But it does, at a glance, sum up what Girls Around Me is all about: a radar overlaid on top of a Google Map, out of which throbs numerous holographic women posing like pole dancers in a perpetual state of undress.

“Okay, so here’s the way the app works,” I explained to my friends.

I have a 6 year old Trac Phone. They keep telling me I need to "upgrade" and I tell them to shove it - if they cut me off they are violating their own Terms and Conditions and I let them know that. Now they are pestering me saying " The FCC requires bla bla" and "we will give you a free phone" ect..
It seems TPTB don't like it when they can't "monitor" you !

Not all of us are sheep. Some of us are free-thinking women who find your post extremely annoying and untrue... ya know, those of us who are awake already and know better than all these things.


The question you should ask yourself is why you are so angry at all the women who fall for the facebook and google stuff. Especially when you yourself still do!!!!!!!!!! Personally, I feel like I am too smart for all this stuff, but I could be deceiving myself. I have no desire to catch a 'ride' off your rock.

If I am part of the pack of sheep you reference in your post, I will not fuck off and die, as much as I have wanted to.

I fail to see why people clamor for websites such as Facebook, Twitter, Paypal and even Google for that matter knowing they collect all your personal data and sell the information to anyone willing to pay.

Even more aggravating re those of you who self-righteously snivel that you have nothing to hide and simple do not care what information they gather about you.

Now suppose that your old granny is incontinent and asks you to go to the drugstore for adult diapers as she finds it embarrassing or she cannot travel the distance on her on and you too find it embarrassing. Therefore, you purchase them online and of course, since you do not care you do not pay attention to the fact several advertising sites and google have used a 443 secure connection to your computer while making the purchase.

A secure connection means they re able to collect far more personal information concerning you and you suddenly find that you re receiving e-mail on your work computer asking you to purchase adult diapers from them instead of the other company you used. Explain that away to you peers and tell me you no longer care what personal information all these parasitic sites collect concerning your habits.

Try some research into programs that can tell you what sites re connecting to your computer and see how many times Google, Facebook, Paypal and Twitter use secure connection to your computer. Try the easy way with an older version of Opera where you can designate a secure connection asks permission first and I guarantee you will be in for a rude awakening.

"Experts may argue over if the Stockholm syndrome really exists. One needn’t go to the experts to ascertain a plainly visible phenomena. Human beings tend not only to accept life within oppressive social structures, but to love and cherish it. They invent fanciful reasons justifying their subordinate position and go to the extent of punishing those who refuse to accept their assigned position.

I deleted my Facebook profile 4 days ago. I feel liberated like a burden has been lifted from me. The icing on the cake was when I found a page that showed hundreds of sites that I visited for the previous 3 months somewhere within the settings. Facebook then started posting every news article I read for emy friends to see.

This is the worst part. They will not immediately delete your account. instead I have to wait 14 days and if I log in just once it canceled the deletion process and I have to start over. So make sure your username or password isn't saved n your browser or phone app because if automatically logs in you have to start over. They don't want you to leave. 2 week waiting period. Wtf
