Re: [AFMUG] OT FB friends

[Bill Prince]

The fundamental problem with FB is that they change their position almost weekly, and it's impossible to keep up with what the current "policy" is, or what influence (if any) you might have in it. I say this for all the FB "properties" including WhatsApp, Instagram, etc. bp <part15sbs{at}gmail{dot}com> On 3/14/2019 8:56 PM, ch...@wbmfg.com wrote: Linkedin I like.  Not so much FB.    From: Ken Hohhof Sent: Thursday, March 14, 2019 8:02 PM To: 'AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group' Subject: Re: [AFMUG] OT FB friends   Hi, I’d like to add you to my professional network on LinkedIn.     From: AF <af-boun...@af.afmug.com> On Behalf Of Sean Heskett Sent: Thursday, March 14, 2019 8:35 PM To: AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group <af@af.afmug.com> Subject: Re: [AFMUG] OT FB friends   that's how the russian trolls are able to spread their FUD.  they friend request your friends and your friends see you are friends so they must be ok friends and on and on.  then you start seeing "news articles" in your feed from these new "friends of friends" so you blindly trust that they are friendly.  all the while it's a bunch of bots and russian trolls taking advantage of our goods nature.   -sean     On Thu, Mar 14, 2019 at 6:56 PM <ch...@wbmfg.com> wrote: Not sure what is up lately but I have been getting several friend requests each day.  I try to see if I know them, generally I don’t recognize the name but there are mutual friends, most of whom I don’t really know.  Many of these have some kind of imagery that is related to our industry.  So generally confirm those.  But I am deleting the rest.   Anybody on this list, if you made a friend request and I did not confirm, just drop me a real email and warn me before you do it and I will confirm.  I don’t want anyone to think I am aloof or unfriendly but far more people know me than I instantly recognize on a FB request.  -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
