So Facebook can track you? - DD - 03-24-2014 10:44 AM
with GPS, and know's what browser you use so privacy is no intention for them, and that makes twitter more better then Facebook?
BQ Should I make a Facebook I really want to, but the privacy concerns, tracking makes it hard to make one I only have a twitter that's it?

You can get tracked simply with your cell phone and computer. So it's already being done.

for starters if you are someone that is likely a target i suggest that you never even type in information about yourself on a computer definately never facebook.
the reason why i say this is that everything that connects to the internet has whats called an ip address, think about a house address but for your computer. now facebook saves your ip info to get your location, then it can link you to your friends and familly if you have them on fb then if you are easilly suspect to social engineering it can get a 100 times worse.
now if your paranod or someone that may be targeted i would use something like tor to anonymize my ip whenever i go online. but remember you can have all the security you want but if you are gullible/easily social engineered dont get on fb or any social media site.
if you are an average person then by all means try it out but just be cautious of who you think you know.
P.S no im not paranoid im studying to become a network analyst so my job would to be to look for security flaws in networks.

You can remove them tracking you. On Facebook, when your going to log off it says
"Account Settings
Privacy Settings; YOU CLICK THIS ONE
