Facebook can see what users type even if status is not posted? - Mary - 04-08-2014 04:36 AM
Facebook has said that it is within its terms of service to see what users are typing even when the status or comment is never posted on the social network.
The Menlo Park, Calif., company confirmed that it can track users' unpublished posts after two Facebook researchers disclosed that they had tracked the activity of about 5 million random Facebook users in the U.S. and England.
The researchers' study looked at how often these users censored themselves while typing posts and comments on Facebook. If users typed more than five characters, the content was tracked. It was considered to be self-censored if it was not published within 10 minutes of being typed.

If a company on the net isn't selling you a product or charging you for a service, guess what ? The product is * you *.
I chuckle a bit when individuals get worked up over FB privacy and then turn right around, posting something about their latest colonoscopy.

Any information is just that; information. Who knows what marketing gems might be sourced from text deleted prior to posting?

FAcebook is a cia opeartion t hat works with NSA. NSA is collecting intel on Christians and constitutional patriots. We are being monitored and will be the first ones arrested when martial law is unrolled in the very near future. We will be forced to pledge allegiance to Satan's new world order or we will be cut off from society, unable to buy, sell, or purchase.
