Facebook / Instagram / Google Voice - Privacy Issues
shailynn
They never tell you what you need to know.
We have talked about Facebook in the past and the board is all over the place. Some guys have it, some guys don't, some are friends with strippers on Facebook and some are not.
Regardless of your stance I wanted to share something with you I found rather odd.
Using the Google phone app I have contacted strippers before. What is shocking to me is, while browsing the "recommended friends list" on my Facebook app those strippers have started showing up. I didn't even realize it at first but I found 3, which were the 3 that I he been talking to most recently. Kinda spooky, I've never called or txt'd them on my regular phone line, they don't even know my last name either, one of these strippers doesn't even live in the same time zone as me.
Now, even more strange is I have an Instagram account, which I have never even made a post from, just following people (mostly the coffee babes Juice has brought to our attention). I go look and see who is following me, and low and behold one of those strippers is following me on Instagram. I don't even have a profile pic on there so I'm guessing she probably follows every suggestion Instagram gives her and it connected me to her through the Google phone app. There's no way she could knowingly know she was following me, but she may be smart enough to know Instagram links accounts through phone numbers.
Moral of the story - Google voice numbers are linking though Instagram and Facebook. Previously I thought using a google voice number would prevent that. Apparently not!
Side note: one of the strippers and I had a great time, so I txt'd her the next time I was in town, and I received no response. That's fine I had another one lined up, but you don't even respond to a txt from me asking to come to your club and giving you money, but you're following me on Instagram!?!? Cmon now!!!!!

Everything that linked me was through my smartphone - I am not sure there is a way around that.
It's not a great concern for me, my wife shuns all social media so she never snoops around my "virtual self" but still it's kinda alarming.
The chip is near
Mark of the beast
The birth of the god's
The death of humanity
The cyborgs are coming
One more reason to stay off the grid.
Never did Facebook. I don't like people knowing my business if at all possible.
But, some communications are largely anonymous, as well as encrypted. Problem is though, if they really want to unscramble it all, they can. Its just that usually they don't because the communications are of no importance.
But the situation gets worse now, since they have the big black building and record everything. So if someday they decide that your communications are important, they could retrieve them all and find their way through most attempts at creating anonymity.
So you should never talk about doing anything illegal via the Internet. And you need to always keep in mind that if the authorities want to find your messages and are willing to commit time and energy to it, they can.
It's just that most private parties have no way of doing this.
