Posting Ab Thread Son Facebook Twitter And Whatever That Garth Tyoe G Is

[dotty.]

I do not want my ab posts included in any thread that someone else links to facebook or anywhere else not AB.

[jackthehat]

Why not?

[dotty.]

Because I don't want any posts I make on AB re-posted on a site not AB.

[jackthehat]

Once you post on AB, you no longer 'own' any comments you make, dotty.

Anyone in the world can read them, so it makes precious little difference quite where it turns up.

[Mojo-Jo-Jo]

This is a public site Dotty. Everything you say is public domain.

[dotty.]

that's not good, when did that happen?

[Mojo-Jo-Jo]

It's always been that way as far as I know.

[jackthehat]

The Twitter and Facebook linkage has been happening for the passed couple of years.

[Mojo-Jo-Jo]

I found this site through a google search for a question. I could read everything. I'm sure of it.

[jno]

it was an act of Henry IV, dotty, all ye writinges of ye kinge's vassals shall belong to ye kinge.

[pusskin]

Well, glad I know that! Wont be putting really personal stuff on here then!!!

[humbersloop]

dotty, anything on t'inerweb's in the globally public domain, always so

[Mojo-Jo-Jo]

You shouldn't put personal stuff anywhere on the social internet.

[dotty.]

so what happens? who decides what thread gets uploaded to facebook or the other places?

[jackthehat]

I presume it is an Editorial decision.

[dotty.]

but AB isn;t the social internet

[jackthehat]

Nor is it a Private Members Club.

[jno]

it's pretty much the same as FB, dotty, only with billions fewer members. People come on here, use their own names or not, and tell each other things. But it's all open to any passerby, you don't have to log in to read it, there are no privacy barriers. Even if you use a pseudonym you may be traceable through things you've mentioned.

[dotty.]

and yet, after 7 years none of my family know i use AB, and so it's not exactly widely read.

[jno]

well don't tell the Ed that, or he'll introduce more features.

[Mojo-Jo-Jo]

It's easily found though Dotty.
I can go to the search bar right now and type your name and read every post you've made, providing it hasn't been deleted.
You can do the same for me or anyone else.
