CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- A mother says Facebook asked her to remove pictures of her son taking part in a Special Olympics event over the weekend in Davidson County.
Diana Cornwell says the Facebook message she received mentions violating Facebook terms and asks her not to upload pictures which include hate speech, support for violent organizations or include threats to harm others.
Her account has been blocked for three days as a result.
Cornwell says the pictures show nothing more than her son having a great time.
"He struggles with Down’s Syndrome. He's seven years old and he doesn't speak,” Cornwell said about her son Cole.
Cole was all smiles Friday while taking part in his first Special Olympics at a local high school. She took pictures of him whenever she could.
"A very proud moment for him,” she said.

What is Facebook thinking? They've signed on in support of CISPA -- the new bill that would obliterate online privacy, give the military crazy new abilities to spy on the Internet, and potentially let ISPs block sites and cut off users accused of piracy.
Why did I choose July 4th, 2012?
Two reasons: I wanted to make it far enough in the future that we could build up a large number of people willing to do this and secondly, it's Independence Day!What is Facebook thinking? They've signed on in support of CISPA -- the new bill... more

Congress is rolling out the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (CISPA) and related legislation in a set of votes next week under the banner of “Cybersecurity Week.”
“Stop Cyber Spying Week” is the ACLU and other rights organizations' response to the legislation, which would allow online companies to share information collected about you to the government.
The companies that’d be sending the information to the government, predictably, aren’t opposing CISPA with the same vigor as they did SOPA. Nevertheless, the ACLU and others hope to be able to replicate the online activism that led to SOPA’s demise.
CISPA’s supporters assert the program is for “voluntary” information sharing between private companies and the government’s security apparatus. These companies collect a lot of private information from their consumers, and the government, it would seem, would simply want access to this information for national security purposes.
This “voluntary” information sharing program comes in the wake of a recent rules change at the National Counterterrorism Center that allows the government to hold records collected on you for five years, ten times the previous 180 day limit, whether or not you’re the target of an investigation or suspected of anything criminal at all. It could explain why the NSA’s latest “surveillance hub” is a $2 billion, 1,000,000 square foot project.
SOPA was roundly criticized for letting media companies and the government team up to shut down websites accused of copyright infringement without due process. CISPA, on the other hand, merely formalizes the relationship between the government’s security apparatus and the private companies we willingly share our private information with. But CISPA erodes the right to due process as well. After all, who needs a warrant when the sharing is voluntary?

“Boy, you sure have a lot of apps on your phone.”
“Well, it’s my job.”
“What’s your favorite?”
“Oh, I couldn’t choose. But hey, want to see one to set your skin crawling?”
It was the flush end of a pleasurably hot day — 85 degrees in March — and we were all sipping bitter cocktails out in my friend’s backyard, which was both his smoking room, beer garden, viticetum, opossum parlor and barbecue pit. I was enjoying the warm dusk with a group of six of my best friends, all of whom seemed interested, except for my girlfriend… who immediately grimaced.
“Girls Around Me? Again?” she scolded. “Don’t show them that.”
She turned to our friends, apologetically.
“He’s become obsessed with this app. It’s creepy.”“Boy, you sure have a lot of apps on your phone.”

A High School for girls has been accused of ordering pupils to delete their Facebook profiles or risk expulsion.
Female pupils at Beis Rivkah High School in Brooklyn, New York, have reportedly been told to remove their accounts from the social networking site as bosses tried to address a supposed decline in pupils' 'code of modesty'.
A school official said the crackdown was launched to restore a level of modesty said to be in decline through Facebook use.
Pupils at the school said they've been told Facebook isn't compatible with their moral code.
All girls in the 11th grade of the school with Facebook accounts were removed from class and given the ultimatum, according to the Crown Heights community website.
However, earlier this month WDAY-TV and CNN reported that a 12-year-old was allegedly forced to hand over her Facebook password when school officials claimed she was having 'online conversations about sex with another student.A High School for girls has been accused of ordering pupils to delete their Facebook... more

So, basically, when you ask a prospective employee for his/her password, you signal your intent to knowingly hire individuals who readily agree to breach contractual agreements. Oh, yeah, that’s just fucking brilliant, Einstein.

Don't listen to Facebook, just get rid of your account and you won't even have to worry about this kind of thing with potential employers, or Facebook's ridiculous, ever-changing intrusive privacy policies.
Don't forget that last year Mark Zuckerberg's sister said "anonymity on the Internet has to go away" and Zuckerberg himself called early social networkers "dumbfucks" for giving away their personal information so willingly.
**********
Facebook privacy chief Erin Egan has issued a stern statement regarding employers and prospective employers who ask individuals for their Facebook passwords. Egan cites a “distressing increase” in reports of individuals being asked to turn over their passwords or other Facebook account information to bosses, prospective employees and others.
Addressing users of the social networking site, Egan wrote, “This practice undermines the privacy expectations and the security of both the user and the user’s friends,” and added, “If you are a Facebook user, you should never have to share your password, let anyone access your account, or do anything that might jeopardize the security of your account or violate the privacy of your friends.”
Egan held out the possibility of Facebook taking legal action against organizations and individuals who attempt to coerce users into forfeiting their private information. She wrote that such action “potentially exposes the employer who seeks this access to unanticipated legal liability.”Don't listen to Facebook, just get rid of your account and you won't even... more

Image: (via Infowars) A visual representation of Invisible Children’s true backers and master minds. They will gladly shed their front group in the name of self-preservation and making a clean escape.
Funny how all of the mainstream news sites are trying to spin this and point out that Jason Russel is a Christian.
Umm excuse me but how many times have your typical lefty Hollywood types like Angelina Jolie, Nicki Minaj, Obama officials and Amnesty International previously been so quick to get on board with the political work of a devout Evangelical Christian?
***
The growing legions of critics and skeptics arrayed against this latest Wall Street-London psychological operation will undoubtedly seize this irresistible bait laid out, either by chance or by design, to focus on finishing off the already mortally wounded “Invisible Children” organization. It is already turning out to be a spectacular crash and burn.
However, the focus must be maintained on the mechanics behind Invisible Children, the fact that they are backed by USAID and that they participated in the US State Department’s Alliance for Youth Movements (Movements.org) summits which laid the groundwork years in advance for the US-engineered “Arab Spring.” It must also be remembered that while they pretend to be a movement of the people, Invisible Children is in fact backed by (page 22) Soros-funded foundations, JP Morgan, Chase, and others.
And as satisfying as many will find it to stomp Invisible Children out of existence for intentionally misleading them, preying on their emotions, insulting their intelligence, and literally lying to them, they must remember that all they’ve managed to do is hack away but a tentacle of a much larger monster. While we have a firm grip on Invisible Children, let’s pull up the whole monster from its murky lair.Image: (via Infowars) A visual representation of Invisible Children’s true... more

It is good to see that some Israelis have some sense of humanity left. But both Israelis and Iranians alike should be careful about using Facebook for this kind of thing.
***
An online call for peace initiated by an Israeli couple has managed to achieve the support of 1,000 Israelis and Iranians. And it all began with two posters.
Ronny Edry and his wife Michal Tamir uploaded posters to Facebook depicting images of themselves with their children alongside the words, "Iranians, we will never bomb your country, we [heart] you."
Attached to each poster was the caption, "To the Iranian people, To all the fathers, mothers, children, brothers and sisters, For there to be a war between us, first we must be afraid of each other, we must hate. I'm not afraid of you, I don't hate you. I don t even know you. No Iranian ever did me no harm."
In a conversation with Haaretz, Edry explained that he hoped his initiative would reach the Iranian citizens, but admitted that he never believed it would gain so much momentum.
At first, the posters were castigated, said Edry. "After the first poster people started criticizing me, saying I'm an idiot, that I’m naïve. 'Why are you telling them you love them? Why are you giving up before the war has even started?'" But very quickly the posters became a hit: the first image gained hundreds of "Likes" and "Shares," and numerous people asked to join the initiative.It is good to see that some Israelis have some sense of humanity left.
