After wasting 6 months, I chose to delete my account. Lo and behold, soon spam started to show up on this account, as if the floodgates had been opened. Facebook is also guilty of this. I set up a Facebook account for a relative around 2006. The e-mail address is name_facebook@ a domain that I control. Every six months or so, Facebook will send out almost daily e-mails for a month saying "Person x commented on your p…
That's called a compromised account, not Facebook sharing the email with a third party data broker.
Since all the alleged comments are allegedly from people he knew, and not new strangers, I find it hard to believe that someone has been impersonating him on Facebook for the last 15 years.
Especially people who were at his funeral.

That’s a really long way of saying ‘I’m an incel’ but you do you!
I don't need to do myself, because unlike your statement, I am neither a 'cel' nor an 'in-cel'. I understand that my statement reads like some redpill stuff, but I find it to be generally true (unlike a lot of other online dating/gender related stuff)

#134I once went on a date with someone who did research at OKCupid who told me that they were doing NLP-style analysis of peoples' messages that they sent to each other. Still not really sure what to think of the date itself, but it was a fucked up admission.
They did tons of data analysis across all aspects of profiles, and had a popular blog where they published the results. They were heavily involved in researching what factors more reliably led to not just better matches, but better relationships -- when you disabled your account, they'd ask if it was because you'd met someone through OkC and ask you to pick who, if you were willing to share. I don't think there was a…
You realize that you're responding in a thread about OkCupid deceiving users and sharing data with 3rd parties right?
34. In response to this request, Humor Rainbow gave the Data Recipient access to nearly three million OkCupid user photos. Humor Rainbow’s President and Chief Technology Officer were directly involved in facilitating the data transfer.
35. In addition to user photos, Humor Rainbow shared other personal data with the Data Recipient, including each user’s demographic and location information.Re: FTC action against Match and OkCupid for deceiving users, sharing personal data

I'm wondering if this means 3 million copyright violations that could be litigated in civil court.
Nearly every app that accepts user-generated content includes an agreement that you give them a license to use that content. It's basically required for those apps to function. No platform would exist very long if users could upload content and then sue the platform for hosting it. The agreements usually include a clause about allowing them to sub-license it. So you still retain the copyright to the photos, but you c…
In this case there was no sublicensing….

#137"As part of a settlement... will be prohibited from misrepresenting its privacy policies." Did I miss it, or were there no other parts to this settlement mentioned? In other words: no punishment at all.
Your punishment is that you will now have to follow the rules
Or just do it a different way until they get caught again.

In 2013, I went to Pebble Beach for an expensive car show. I met a couple guys that started newlydivorceddating.com. They told me they purchased thousands of fake starter profiles, so the site wouldn't seem dead. Tangent: I was a "pickup artist" (2005-2010). Most of it is creepy bullshit, but the process teaches you a powerful aspect of hookup-style dating (as opposed to courting for a long-term relationship): guys n…
very interesting. I bought The Game 10+ years ago and read 3/4 of it. I just can’t get myself to do tactics like magic, negging, and psych-ops. Though, I will confirm it works. Seen with my own eyes many times in disbelief. Couldn’t believe women fall for what seem like such corny and ridiculous behavior. I do think women are much more socially focused, tend to follow (sheep behavior) and in a miraculous turn of even…
> if you ignore them, or don’t show interest they want what they can’t have
A girl I knew told me it wasn't any fun when the guy would just do whatever to please her. She found it boring and uninteresting. Rather she enjoyed the chase, so to speak, and said she wanted to work for it.
I assume there's some variance, but I kept that in the back of my mind.

To be honest, what you did here is called speculation. Claims require evidence, and you provided none. Your confident tone is unjustified imo.

This is like a "your mom called" joke.
If it’s a joke, it’s disgusting. If you think it’s a joke, you’re homophobic.
If it’s not a joke, it’s a serious trust violation.
Either way it’s bad. Considering the downvotes, I’m saddened that Hacker News thinks this is ok behavior from Newsom.
