There is no canceling your FB account, they still will hold it against you forever.

Use it to put out what you want them to see OP.


the fact thats all they had on you and tried to use it should be laughable.

keep it real on facebook and they cant hold shit against you

put pretentious made up crap....its gonna bite you

not really facebooks fault you posted crap on it is it
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 21016308


Well I stick by what I stated, and even the judge told the ADA that anyone working for the justice system should be fighting against fascism and oppression, so he did not see how it was significant. My point is, it should not have been available to them under my privacy settings.
 Quoting: Shellbe


You are a defence lawyer and you are surprised by them being able to see your posts?

Seriously, some people really do shock me.
 Quoting: vexed 21002352


Well up until now, the only things I've seen them be able to access, are things that are public. If I really wanted to push the issue, I could sue them to find out how they accessed private info. But that would not help my client any. This was also the info I provided when I first set up the account. They were asking stupid questions, which I tried to provide an answer, although at times was not easy.
 Quoting: Shellbe


Also, I would openly admit that it is my goal to fight Fascism and oppression. If someone has a problem with that, fuck em. I would not post something that I did not want anyone to see. I was just surpised that they were able to access it. My point in posting is that people should know the government got this information that was supposed to be private.

Deleted it? I did the same and it says something like " you can sign back in and re activate your account at anytime" well, if it was REALLY deleted then how would they do that? hmmm.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 14660550


When you delete your account you will get a message that you have about 7 days until your data is gone forever, When you cancel you can reopen your account at a later date.

There is a difference.

Still doesn't matter. The NSA has your data.

well actually, they gave me a copy of it in open court and questioned me about it in front of the judge. Think I could prove it. But it would not help my client, which is why I was there in the 1st place. The jusge sided with me after the fact though.

Re: So anyone still using Facebook, u should reconsider! UPDATE
I have seen the threads on here about how fucked up Facebook is, and how it is used to gather your info. Although I do not post there, I did keep my Facebook account due to the fact that I have 5 younger brothers and sisters who all have kids. I live out of state and use Facebook to get updates on them and pictures. Other than the occasional comment concerning how cute my nephews are, I dont post. I also have my privacy settings set so that only my friends can see my info, and only accept friends who I know and trust. Well, as some people on here know I am a criminal defense attorney. I had to testify as a witness today regarding a trial that I did in 2008. Well, long story short, despite the fact that my settings are on private, the District Attorney's Office gave me a copy of my Facebook page. There were no posts that were a problem, as I don’t post. However, when you set up your account it asks you to fill in different categories, ie: interests, music, hobbies. Under the "about me" section, I wrote, criminal lawyer fighting against fascism and oppression. Well, the Government had this info, and tried to use it to suggest I was somehow against the Government. Really fucked up. Don’t know how they accessed this info. Needless to say, I just canceled my Facebook account. I suggest u all do the same.

Well, I guess if you are fighting fascism and oppression then you are fighting the government ... or at least you are fighting the Obama administration.

Change it to say you are fighting to allow illegal immigrants into our country and the government will leave you alone.

Re: So anyone still using Facebook, u should reconsider! UPDATE
Another thing I noticed is I get friend suggestions from Facebook for clients who i have no other connection to. At first I thought maybe they viewed my profile and thus, they become a suggested friend. But then I had a female client show up, who had been in jail for 18 months. No way she viewed my profile. So the question is, how did Facebook figure out my connection?
 Quoting: Shellbe


i have always wondered how they did that too. but most of mine are friends with people im friends with. i had like 800 friends on saturday. and i deleted a lot of people and im down to 200. i noticed that when i added someone, i think they'd change their name or something because someone would update their status and i'd have no clue who they were, so i'd delete them off my friends list. but its been happening a lot often. some people that i know i deleted im still friends with supposedly. pisses me off. im about to deactivate my profile. i just need to get my pictures of there first.

Do not make FB with all your info and name, just use FB to stalk and peep on people for sexy time.
