| Newly announced changes to Instagram´s terms and conditions give the Facebook-owned photo-sharing site ´perpetual´ rights to all images uploaded, and allow Instagram to use them for commercial purposes without identification. "You acknowledge that we may not always identify paid services, sponsored content, or commercial communications as such," the new terms say. That may let advertisers use teenagers’ photos for marketing, raising privacy and security concerns, Jeffrey Chester, executive director for the Center for Digital Democracy, told Bloomberg. Facebook itself was sued by users angry that their images had been used as part of ´sponsored stories´, and settled the case

I deleted my Facebook after the election (easier than defriending the few remaining dems...) but still enjoy Instagram. Oh well! Guess I´ll delete it too. There goes another fun little distraction. I hope the whole service goes under.

I ALMOST deleted my account. But I´ve changed how I use Facebook. I´m a supporter of Ryan Ferguson, who has been incarcerated in Missouri for 9 years, and absolutely deserves a new trial (but I don´t believe for a second that he murdered the man he was convicted of murdering...I believe he deserves flat out freedom.)
Recently a FB employee named Mike helped Ryan´s family put together a "Free Ryan Ferguson" cause page that is now up to over 8500 "likes". In just 2 weeks. While this may sound trivial, it´s such a source of hope and support to Ryan and his parents, who have fought for years to get him out.
Ironically, support for a complete stranger has made me see the personal side of Facebook. No politics, no trivial posts, no fights...just thousands of people from around the world giving hope to a family fighting injustice.
So I´m over the trivia...I just go to the pages I support, visit my kids´ updates...check to see what´s up...and then off again.

Every day seems to bring a story that makes me happy that I never got a Facebook account.

Facebook is wonderful for connecting with friends and family. It is also great and for sharing imagery with like minded artisans, if you work in creative fields, as I do. It´s an important vehicle for marketing.
But I have always avoided Instagram and Pinterest for this very reason: my images are MINE.

How does one "delete" their FB account. I have tried several times and using methods I found on line that don´t work.

Delete all you want. Facebook who owns Instagram says they still own the images.
The "founder" who lied to the real founders also committed stock fraud and made billions.
He does not care about what his customers thinks. He will lie and lie.

So if someone posts the next viral cat photo, Instagram will claim the royalties. If they post child porn instead, Instagram would have some excuse for why they´re not culpable. This is wrong. They cannot have it both ways. They cannot make money off of some photos while denying responsibility for others.

#5 - You can´t delete your account. The most you can do is "close" it. It actually remains there, though not accessible to anyone else, and you can still access/reopen it (whether you want to or not) with the user ID & password.
I´m a regular FB user, for human rights/Tibet causes and to connect with friends near and far. It certainly has its down sides but has been more of a blessing to me than anything else.

I removed all personal information and pictures a couple of years ago when I learned FB does things like this. Thankfully I didn´t have any of my children´s pictures to post.
After that I learned FB scan for political posts and turn them over to Politico, a separate news organization, who then turns them over to the DNC.
When will we get an internet site like this that is not owned by the Liberals Marxist traitors?

If I had slept through yesterday, woken up this morning, and gone online, I might have thought the EDL beheaded someone. There is a lot of displacement on Twitter and FB, as if it´s all too politically difficult and socially awkward to talk about the killers´ ideology, or the place of religion in that ideology. So we talk instead about the EDL, or John Reid, or drones, or "the religion of peace" or say "Christians kill too" or "what about Anders Breivik", or, well, anything but the brute fact that the murderers, like so very many before them, shouted "Allahu

Republican senator Ted Cruz thinks he knows how to prevent Texas being swamped by demographics. The Senate amendment he is proposing on immigration reform would deny all illegal immigrants access to benefits and a pass to citizenship. The context for Cruz´s intervention is what Greg Abbott, the Republican Attorney General for Texas, last month described as "an assault far more dangerous than what the leader of North Korea threatened when he said he was going to add Austin, Texas, as one of the recipients of his nuclear weapons". That´s the threat of Texas "turning blue" (Democrat) and taking its 38

The charity said the site had been inundated with traffic after news broke that the victim, believed to be a serving soldier, had been wearing one of its T-shirts. As news of the killing quickly spread on social media, there were calls for people to visit the site to donate, or buy T-shirts or other merchandise as a show of support. The site´s shop quickly crashed and parts were still out of action on Thursday morning. A spokesman said: "Last night with the website, there was clearly a lot of interest."

Is the worm turning against Barack Obama? After four-plus years of being given the benefit of the doubt by the bulk of the US media, the President now suddenly feels more vulnerable. Today both the New York Times and the Washington Post have run prominent and angry editorials and columns slamming the administration for its attempt to criminalise a Fox News reporter James Rosen for working a State Department source to obtain a story. The "Rosen Affair"--as it is now known--is poisoning the well in Washington at an alarming rate for Mr Obama, with an indignant White House press corps

Former Rep. Anthony Weiner, whose career in public life came to an abrupt end when he sent lewd pictures to a college student on Twitter, jumped back into politics on Wednesday by announcing a bid for mayor of New York City. “Look, I’ve made some big mistakes and I know I’ve let a lot of people down,” the Democrat said in a 2-minute video announcing his bid. “But I’ve also learned some tough lessons. I’m running for mayor because I’ve been fighting for the middle class and those struggling to make it for my entire life.

The public got its first look Thursday at Lois Lerner, who has gone from faceless IRS bureaucrat to the face that launched what feels like 1,000 congressional hearings and conspiracy theories. But it was only a brief sighting since she didn´t stay long at a House hearing to further probe her role in how some IRS workers came to target conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status. (Snip)She did make a short statement to declare her innocence, however. Lerner´s motivation was more transparent than much of what the IRS has done in connection with this controversy. She was determined to

When you get right down to it, the political targeting and stalling of tax-exempt applications by the IRS was an effort to defund the Tea Party. Rick Santelli, one of the Tea Party founders and my CNBC colleague, was the first to make this point. I’ve taken it a step further: The IRS was taking the Tea Party out of play for the 2012 election, as it looked to avoid a repeat of 2010 and another Tea Party landslide.There are a lot of numbers out there.

Eva Longoria is backing up her beauty with a whole lot of brain. The actress graduated with a master´s degree Wednesday.

Very excited to graduate for my master´s degree in Chicano studies! You´re never too old or too busy to continue your education!" the actress wrote on her Who Say site Wednesday, sharing loads of pics of her big day, posing with her family, cohorts and diploma.

What´s so interesting about 60 tea partiers protesting the IRS in San Jose, California on Tuesday, May 21st? The fact that this bit of information was conveyed to the protesters by a Department of Homeland Security officer who was also in attendance. What was a DHS agent doing at the San Jose Tea Party protest? (snip) they weren´t just spying on us in San Jose and monitoring us in San Francisco, they were watching us throughout the entire state

On “Fox News Sunday” last weekend, White House aide Dan Pfeiffer was asked about President Barack Obama’s whereabouts the night of the Sept. 11 attack in Benghazi. This was the night when we lost our first ambassador in 30 years, and when three other Americans were killed in an attack that lasted all night long at multiple locations within the eastern Libyan city. Since the president is commander in chief, one would think where he was and what he did during such an event would be of obvious public concern.
