Gonna be tricky when people peaceably assemble to block all the entrances and exists of every building ICE operates out of.
If you're blocking an enteance or exit that is not being peaceful and does result in arrest.

The most hilarious part of this is that he's already a customer! They don't need to target him! Advertising is such a racket.
I imagine the conversation going on the lines of: Facebook: In the week we exposed the user to the add, the user posted a picture of your product. We made that sell for you! Advertiser: Say no more, take my money! Facebook: (smiles smugly)
It's like a conversation I saw last week, that video ads pay out to the provider/site even if the user only sees one second of it before pressing pause or the back-button.

Based on what I've seen you should assume most nation states have this ability. Take the NSA's back door into Cisco routers as an example. The NSA made use of this exploit for years before it was exposed. In all likelihood they are still making use of it as there are likely unpatched routers still in the wild. Now sidestep to phones. Nation states can tap into your calls and to your location through the GPS info tied…
To slightly bastardize the term "burner", people might think they don't have any burners, but everyone's got burners. I started to notice that one of my professors, around every ~25 sentences, he would capitalize the first two letters of the sentence. I mean it's a dead giveaway, because most people do this a lot less frequently. But these figurative "burners" are everywhere. Little, tiny, seemingly untraceable ticks…
I'm almost 100% positive that some of your best and brightest employees working in critical divisions at Facebook, Google, Microsoft, etc. are NSA moles. I have zero proof but it's what I'd setup if I was part NSA leadership. Just think about what that means for our data.

I used to play a phone game and utilized mock locations for area specific content. Later, Facebook would suggest friends from the specific location I had spoofed, despite having never once set foot there or having ever known anyone from the area.
Myself and someone I just met were suggested as friends to each other after we met. Neither looked up the other. Neither created any contacts in our phone. Only possibility is our FB app knew we were both in the same place at the same time for a few hours.
Its not just faces .. me and a friend had a little jam session recently and posted a picture of our cool little setup, consisting of a few pocket-sized machines (synthesizers and controllers) on our table in front of us. Just an innocent little picture of our jam setup. Within seconds of posting this picture of the machines, my friend was getting targeted ads from the manufacturers of those devices - within seconds!…

I had a similar moment (and ironically I'm a musician too). I went to a bar, where a band was playing on stage... After a while I realized I know the drummer. I played with him before, in another band, years ago. We had a beer, chatted a bit and went home. Now, we hadn't posted any pictures, nor statuses, we have no mutual friends on facebook, no connection at all... Heck, Facebook DIDN'T EVEN EXIST when I last saw h…
I have her email address in my contacts which has been shared with WhatsApp.
Curiously, there should be no way to directly link my FB account with WhatsApp. I haven't shared my mobile number with FB, and I haven't shared my FB account email address with WhatsApp. Somehow they have tied the two together.
I've never installed any other FB app on my phone, and my FB account is only a month old.
I found that particularly chilling. The friend suggestion doesn't have my email address nor mobile number, and we live in different countries. I'd love to figure out how they did it. I even use a pseudonym on FB.

People don't change. Facebook sprang from a bad seed. In a just world filled with righteous people, that chat log would have doomed Facebook to oblivion long ago.
> People don't change This is laughably, shockingly, categorically wrong. People can and do change, all the time. Your opinions, values, etc didn't change from when you were in college?
But to get back to the subject of the original subthread: not enough for us to trust him running our national ID structure, thank you very much.
