Facebook Silences Satire of Privacy Policy

Posted on by

Facebook’s trademark cops have shuttered an online art project critiquing the social media giant’s peepshow privacy policy.

Last Friday, German artist Tobias Leingruber launched a website, FBbureau.com, on which he proposed issuing unofficial Facebook ID cards, based on users’ profiles, that could one day replace driver’s licenses and passports. It was obvious satire – a way to comment on the astronomical amount of personal data that wafts around on Facebook.

Then three days ago, Facebook sent Leingruber a cease-and-desist letter, citing trademark violation. Leingruber complied and took the site down, after “a friendly conversation” with one of the company’s lawyers.

The deputy director of the CIA Christopher Sarinsky, has openly admitted to the fact that the agency has been scouring Facebook for information about ‘potential troublemakers’.

This, allegedly, is what he said on the issue: “After years of secretly monitoring the public, we were astounded so many people would willingly publicize where they live, their religious and political views, an alphabetized list of all their friends, personal emails addresses, phone numbers, hundreds of photos of themselves, and even status updates about what they were doing moment to moment. It is truly a dream come true for the CIA.”

Next time you find yourself with a few spare minutes on your hands, try something fun? Type into the Facebook or Google search bar the word Occupy then the name of any city you have ever visited, worldwide, that you really liked.

There is a 99% chance it will return a result for the occupation in that city. Then you can see photos / video / read about what is going on there now. I just did it with Occupy Stockholm in honor of my 2 favourite swedes Katarina (senior) & Karin. Even suburbs work in some major states now, as the occupations have spread beyond just city limits…

Occupy rules :)

Occupy Movement Suspects Facebook Of Censorship

The following link contains articles on the complicated relationship between Facebook and the Occupy Movement also covering the acts of censorship by the Social Network.

It should be noted that Facebook’s decisions to suspend accounts and remove posts also happens due to other members flagging Occupy posts as spam.

It is not unlikely that anti-Occupy users are simply flagging posts as spam so they will then be censored. However, as part of a whole picture of surveillance (often warrantless) of key Occupy supporters, there may be more going on behind the scenes than are likely to ever know.
