No FaceBook Ads On My Page

Thursday, May 3rd, 2012

by Daniel Brouse

PHILADELPHIA, PA — One of the pioneers of the world wide web has come out against the advertising practices of FaceBook.

The primary reason: “Sponsors violate you (as well as, your friends) privacy and security.  In a criminal sense, Sponsors (in conspiracy with FaceBook)  violate basic human rights.  Not only is it a crime in the United States of America, it is recognized as an international crime.”

* Did you know your name shows up under sponsored links?
* Did you know you expose your friends through sponsored links?

WARNING: If you are a FaceBook user, make certain that you understand the privacy settings.  They are purposely set to violate you.

LETTER TO MY FRIENDS:

Dear Friends,
FaceBook is getting ready to sell your content. How much are they paying you? I suggest not. Have you seen this?

Dear FaceBook Sponsors: I intend to report on your bad practices. I plan on pointing out how stupid sponsors are for putting ads on my page and point out how you are getting tricked out of money.  Therefore, I suggest you do not advertise on my personal page.

RESPONSE TO INPUT:

      • Daniel Brouse seth, more importantly… i do not like what facebook is about to do to my musician and IP (intellectual property right owner) friends. in about two weeks, they are going to sell all their facebook content and keep the money. for shame!
      • oh yeah, and for the kids out there.. under 18… special laws apply to your privacy.
      • did you know the IRS and health insurance companies will audit your facebook posts? (just to name a couple concerns)
      • salt in the wound: a goodly portion of the facebook IPO proceeds for your intellectual property is being raised to pay Mark Zuckerberg’s tax bill on the money he stole from you.

Google and Wikipedia Blackout Protest Over U.S. Internet Legislation

Wednesday, January 18th, 2012

#SOPA #PIPA

If you go to Wikipedia.org today, you get a black page asking you to protest. If you to Google today, you will find their logo blacked-out and a plea to protest. Wordpress.org, The Membrane.com and KingArthur.com have also *blacked-out* in support of the protest.

What has Internet intellectuals all in an up-roar?

Millions of Americans oppose SOPA and PIPA because these bills would censor the Internet and slow economic growth in the U.S.

Two bills before Congress, known as the Protect IP Act (PIPA) in the Senate and the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) in the House, would censor the Web and impose harmful regulations on American business. Millions of Internet users and entrepreneurs already oppose SOPA and PIPA.

The Senate will begin voting on January 24th. Please let them know how you feel. Sign this petition urging Congress to vote NO on PIPA and SOPA before it is too late.

Tell Congress: Don’t censor the Web

Fighting online piracy is important. The most effective way to shut down pirate websites is through targeted legislation that cuts off their funding. There’s no need to make American social networks, blogs and search engines censor the Internet or undermine the existing laws that have enabled the Web to thrive, creating millions of U.S. jobs.

Too much is at stake – please vote NO on PIPA and SOPA.
