I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring

Yeah, Facebook tracks everything. Per their privacy agreement, they have rights to audio, video, keystroke, everything you do on any device you use to access FB, even when you're not on FB. Same with Instagram, which they own. I use a separate device only for FB.

Also, FB models their privacy agreement after Android, so if you have an Android device, expect to be tracked & expect them to sell to 3rd party tracking (meaning anyone!). That's what Zuckerberg meant when he said there's no privacy. For 3 yrs I warned ppl & they made fun of me.
