A charity I’m volunteering for and a contractor I know insist I have a facebook account for contact reasons. Naturally I bought a separate device to use for that, but I was wondering if there were ways to make my data undesirable to potential buyers. So far I got the obvious tiennamen square posting and that gay putin pic, but I was wondering what else I could do
Grow balls, tell them to email you instead.
This is the real answer. Any organization that can’t be arsed to communicate professionally using grown up channels is not one I’m going to be associated with anyway. Use email and Messages like normal people. Leave FB to… whoever uses that garbage.
Is Messages referring to SMS/MMS?
Yes. Even a phone call (for those who remember them) would be preferable.
Be weird. Be a weird fucking outlier of a person. Then you degrade the signal quality of any data pool yours is added to.
Just be fuckin weird as possible
Search how to poison the well. Choose other wherever possible and lie about the rest. Get creative. I’ve done my best to make FB think that I’m a 7’ 4000-yr-old gay Amazon warrior princess.
Did you grow to full size and then stay static in height, or do you grow 0.05334 cm a year?
My last growth spurt was about 3500 years ago.
Math is interesting
Unfortunately it’s not just not posting on Facebook. Facebook uses tracking pixels and those little like and share buttons on sites to track you outside of Facebook domains (that’s why porn videos have them. No one is sharing porn on Facebook and Meta doesn’t expect them to; they just buy the tracking). As much as possible separate your devices and networks from any device that accesses Facebook, and disable cookies and trackers using an ad blocker and privacy-respecting browser all over. You’d be amazed at how adept Facebook and others are at linking you across devices and networks.
Simply have the pages blank as possible, and use a pseudonym. Shit posting Is it going to do anything to make data less desirable. Just follow all of the typical advice for staying anonymous on the internet.
Also, insist on only using the secret message feature of Facebook Messenger. Those messages are and to end encrypted and at least if you believe facebook, not even Facebook can access them.
I don’t know, but I know I’m protected a little by being multilingual.
I just get ads in multiple languages, even in podcasts.
Don’t do shitposting, they’ll ban your account, so you won’t even be able to use messenger.
Honestly, this sounds like a good thing.
Do they not have phones or emails? Why do they specifically need to contact you via Facebook? The whole setup sounds rather intrusive and unnecessary, just tell them to call or email you.
You know he’s the slave and the boss is the master, right? It’s not like HE can tell THEM what do ‘just’ do…
