[citation][nom]JOSHSKORN[/nom]There's one word that probably at least 99.9% of all Facebook users don't even understand: cache.Of course, I'm just guessing that statistic. It's probably not too far off, anyway.I had a picture of me posted on Meetup.com, I was a bit "wasted"...ugh, stupid Internet. Of course, no one on the face of this planet engaged in such behavior before the invention of the Internet, right? (/sarcasm)[/citation]
To me, cache implies an inherent aging mechanism at where at some point, the cache is flushed for more relevant data. From the sound of this article, the "flushing" part is just not happening. The toilet is plugged. :lol:
[citation][nom]mrmike_49[/nom]well actually, a little bit - it must take a monster lot of storage to keep EVERYTHING about EVERYBODY. facebook must be making a lot of money, or it's subsidized by FBI[/citation]
If it were to ever be revealed that it is subsidized by the FBI, NSA, or CIA, I would not be surprised. However, does it really need to be since items not explicitly marked as private are accessible to pretty much anyone? With things that are private, I would not be surprised if there is a back door somewhere that is available to some form of covert surveillance.
[citation][nom]acadia11[/nom]... Personally, I have 0 reason to be on facebook. I dn't understand why people invite intrusion.[/citation]
Well said, and that is my take, too. Perhaps the invitations to intrusion come from some deep-seated and psychological lack of connection that is somehow fulfilled by plastering unimportant stuff on sites like Facebook.
