Comments on: Secret Crush: The Spam Who Loved Me http://www.elitistsnob.com/2008/01/21/the-spam-who-loved-me/ Mac snobbery and such Mon, 06 Oct 2008 22:36:23 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.2 By: Isaac http://www.elitistsnob.com/2008/01/21/the-spam-who-loved-me/#comment-755 Isaac Thu, 07 Aug 2008 14:52:08 +0000 http://www.elitistsnob.com/2008/01/21/the-spam-who-loved-me/#comment-755 Yeah, I got the "secret crush" bit too. I wasn't about to supply my phone number, and I did think it odd that the person who has a crush on me doesn't know what sex I am. But I did some research to see if it was even a legitimate dating/whatever service, and it looks to be just spam. Yeah, I got the “secret crush” bit too.

I contacted Sprint and they have put a block on. They said to report to FCC...get them to STOP! And the calls came between 1am and 6 am!! And I had to leave my phone on because of family illness.

The FaceBook ads are getting ridiculous and their privacy and intellectual property safeguards are pretty alarming. Any photographs or writing you put on FaceBook becomes their intellectual property and therefore I don't put anything on FaceBook if it's my own work that I want to retain righs to. I don't really know why they feel the need to lay claim to their user's uploads but better safe than sorry. I don't install applications anymore because I don't like getting spammed with application request myself. If FaceBook feels it's okay to blatantly disrespect our privacy and spam the users with ads I wouldn't be surprised if users started leaving in droves. I've set my FaceBook privacy setting to not be indexed in the hope that perhaps a Google search of my name no longer has my FaceBook page as the top result but that will take a while to remedy.
