MancSpank I think.

Is TPLF Synchronized Swimming team.

I see where you are coming from Frederick.

In a political sense, it means Facebook own the candy store now, the burning question is will they share it with the NSA?

It creates immunity for the NSA as they don't actually hold the data and there is zero cost involved.  (for the NSA).

If something goes really bad, the politicians and security services can blame Facebook.

Now if I were to take a hypothetical guess, how likely would it be that Facebook chose to sell search time for security agencies either on a per incident or hourly basis?  They could even develop a security app specifically for authorized security agencies with automatic billing.  We the public and taxpayers of course would pick up the bill

The only way around these possible scenarios is that congress (or similar in other countries) creates and passes a bill that stipulates access to such data FREE and with 100% cooperation when it is in the nations interest to requesting agencies.  The bill would also need to deal with fairness and competition in terms of commercial data mining for financial or political gain.

But on a way more serious note, lets say ISIS sell a few million barrels of oil on the black market and then buy Facebook mining data with their proceeds.  This mining data gives them detailed information on density of population, and busiest times of the day or week.  The same data may include average gathered population and even largest gathered population as well as events and forecasts.  This makes your ISIS terrorist much more dangerous and much more aware.

HOT! ;D

And so are their bottoms ….. heh heh!

Facebook is the king of data mining, there is no question about it, and they can run tests on their 'users' similar to those of rats in a laboratory.

The fact is that each user is a potential consumer to them, and with enormous membership, the data they are collecting is mind blowing.  They can data mine keywords and I am fairly certain they have a model for creating predictions of future events.  I have no doubt they will make profits as they continue to develop.  Each like, each share, it all gives them more data and leads to the development of more sophisticated methods of data mining.

Regardless of their so called 'good intentions' such as sharing data with academic researchers, I am skeptical, they are after all a publicly traded company and that means their investors demand a return.

The biggest fear is .. and  this is a reality, is them adapting to actually influence their users for political gain.  I would not be surprised if they have conducted such tests under the guise of bettering social science.  That would be unacceptable and make the recent cyber attack accusations trivial.  If they get caught doing this, it should be made criminal and the leaders held accountable.  Even if they do it for financial gain, there is a difference between commercial activities and misleading their users for monetary gain, it would be dishonest on a massive scale.  I am sure I could word this better, but I think the point is there.

I think this is indeed worthy of debate and it is in a sense political.  It is a wide ranging discussion topic.

I will say that it is important to be objective and while I personally cannot stand Facebook, I can see certain advantages depending
on your social outlook, personality and even career aspirations or political gain.

Some individuals find physical social interactions a challenge, therefore Facebook is an ideal platform for them.
Facebook can reunite friends or even distant relatives.
It can be used to quickly disperse alerts or appeals to the public for information.

On the downside:

It is used by criminals and terrorists.
It can and is used to disperse 'fake news'
People get drunk and post about their boss and end up fired.
People post not drunk but stupidly about their boss and end up fired.

To be honest we could go on and on posting the positives and negatives, if anyone is concerned about Facebook the answer is simple, do not join.  I do not like it, I feel with data mining and ever increasing technological advances, the platform will not be used for the greater good and that is a whole new debate entirely.

I have never used Facebook and Never will.

Its a personal choice, and everyone has their own views.  I join sites / groups or social networks where I have an interest in a particular subject matter.  I would also rather talk to friends on the telephone as opposed to texting …

I have the latest smart phone, tablet and PC, I rip out what I hate that Microsoft installs by default (or the vendors), delete as many apps as I can and I use technology for what I enjoy.  You dont have to go along with the crowd, just because ... its 'trendy' or the 'in thing'.

And yes it does drive some of my friends nuts that I refuse to use Facebook ...

If you want to setup your own social network its a relatively simple task.  Learn Linux and how to configure a web server, rent a dedicated server or a decent VPS, buy a script and install it.  You would also want to know a bit about PHP but then again search engines can give you most answers as you go along.

I think what you are looking for is 'The girlfriends father' ?

If so there is a choice of Jason, Bo and Carlos.

If you want them let me know and I'll upload.

Have attached some screen shots.

Yes, since the demise of Doma - The defense of Marriage Act.

A K1 Visa is obtained in the country of origin and not the US.  This involves application, evidence of your relationship (being real), a medical examination and an interview at the Consulate (again in the country of origin).

Once you have been approved, you must marry within 90 days of your arrival in the US.

After you are married, you must then apply for permanent residence which is conditional and lasts for 2 years.  While your application is being processed you can also apply for work authorization and advanced parole which will allow you to work and travel while your green card application is being processed.  You may or may not be required to attend an interview.  There are certain triggers that may in the eyes of USCIS warrant an interview including large age gaps between spouses.  Expect this to take between 6 and 9 months.

And once you get through all that, when your conditional residence is about 3 months away from expiring, you start the next round with USCIS.  You need to get the conditions removed from your green card (its called an I751), which in effect will give you a 10 year green card … but it takes an average of 15 months and a lot of stress.

You can do all of this on your own, and there are a lot of fees involved.  We opted not to and hire a lawyer, since we decided it was too important for us to risk making mistakes.  Total costs to date, are about 12K including all government fees.

There are many resources out there on the web offering support and advice but it is really important that you are very careful.  I personally recommend getting a lawyer but it you cannot, be very careful with your paper work and triple quadruple check everything.

Hope this helps someone at some point
