PiccoloGal User ID: 76190053 United States 10/09/2019 11:48 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I went to check for POTUS’s tweets and there suddenly was a pop-up asking if “this is still your phone #”. The screen was stuck unless you answered so I turned the phone off to reboot and it was gone. Most likely that little pop-up was a plan of this “mistake”.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 78034989 United States 10/09/2019 11:58 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Twitter has issued a mea culpa after realizing that phone numbers and email addresses provided by users for “security purposes” had been accidentally handed to marketers, helping them target advertisements online. Quoting: keybored The company admitted the error in a blog post on Tuesday, stating that the user information was unintentionally mixed up with its targeting advertisement program, known as “Tailored Audiences.” “We recently discovered that when you provided an email address or phone number for safety or security purposes (for example, two-factor authentication) this data may have inadvertently been used for advertising purposes,” the company said, adding “This was an error and we apologize.” [link to www.rt.com (secure)] More lies about 'accidental' leaks.

First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win. ~ Mahatma Gandhi "Always, at every moment, there will be the thrill of victory, the sensation of trampling on an enemy who is helpless.

BetaMinus User ID: 77588487 United States 10/09/2019 04:22 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I'm so sick and tired of "ad pollution!" Everywhere you look it's ads, ads, and more ads. I don't even turn my phone volume on anymore because of all the damned robocallers; if my friends need to reach me, they message me. Any day now I'm expecting that when I buy toilet paper I'll start the roll only to find ads printed on every sheet! BetaMinus |
THIS User ID: 75670839 Switzerland 10/09/2019 06:21 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | People are questioning how Hillary got 340, 000 e-mails that got wiped by the FBI They are claiming that's an insane number. It is not. Here's how I know: During the brief periods of time I managed to circumvent censorship I would receive approximately 200 legit mails a day, not counting spam. That means that in less than 5 years, I'd have over 350, 000 if they never got censored incoming. This site has been around a lot longer than that. In reality, that's not a lot of mails for a public figure. That could not have been everything Hillary got. |
