Title: The End of Facebook?
Post by: Ehks on August 10, 2011, 03:42:41 pm
Message from Anonymous: Operation Facebook, Nov 5 2011 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SWQTS8zqYXU#)

I read about it, it's a very big undertaking and I highly doubt they're even going to make a dent into Facebook. Some of Anonymous doesn't even agree with or want to go through with this operation. My estimate is (and this is pretty generous, IMO) 460,000 anons actually going through with this. That being said, Facebook can easily take this extra load of traffic. Facebook has 60,000 servers and serves 600,000 pictures a second (from 2009).

60,000 servers and 460,000 anons. With load balancing, that's roughly 7 people attacking per server. With Facebook's server hardware and customized HTTP/MySQL servers, this is a very poor attack.

tl;dr, Facebook isn't going anywhere anytime soon.
EDIT: Not 30,000 servers, now it's 60,000.

It doesn't exactly delete your account. It basically, in a sense, just suspends it. You can easily regenerate it though as Facebook still stores ALL the information pertaining to your account should you decide to try and "delete" it.
Title: Re: The End of Facebook?
Post by: stormeus on August 10, 2011, 06:32:08 pm
No, that's the perm-deletion page. You need to stay off your account for two weeks and the account is purged and can't be restored. Whether or not Facebook still saves that data anyways, who knows, but I haven't seen anything hinting that they do after deleting.

And of course they're going to profit off of it even though there's absolutely no activity on it that advertisers could use to target ads at you. By the way, even LulzSec says it can't be hacked; there's absolutely NO remote access to their servers, and a DDoS certainly isn't any good.
Title: Re: The End of Facebook?
Post by: Gimli on August 10, 2011, 06:56:55 pm
In my opinion, only 1% of Anonymous actually understand what the point of the Anonymous philosophy is. The remaining 99 percent just want to use scripts and other DDoS tools for "the lol" or for completely retarded reasons. This video perfectly shows how stupid they are.


Facebook will never die, the most they can do to it is take down the servers for a maximum of what.. an hour?

The following is a quote from their press release regarding facebook: When a service is "free," it really means they're making money off of you and your information.'.

Guess what? Most free services make money off you. That's been the model of free services ever since they appeared. If they didn't make money, they simply wouldn't exist. Even Argonath makes money off you when you click on the ads, even though this is just to support the server costs.. They need to stop smoking whatever they're smoking and come back to real life (assuming they have real lives).


Because they're going to tell you that they're going to keep your information after you believe you have supposedly permanently deleted your account.
Yeah, they really, really care about your information and they're going to use it to stalk you for the rest of your life. You're so special.

And of course they're going to profit off of it even though there's absolutely no activity on it that advertisers could use to target ads at you.

Indeed they are going to use it for the rest of his life, to keep sending him advertisements in any means possible. :D

This example has absolutely nothing to do with Facebook and, for example, Google+.
MySpace had fundamental flaws in its design (mainly the fact that it had non-standardized pages and thus everyone's page was a clusterf**k) which Facebook just doesn't have. I'd be surprised if anyone but irritating hipsters moved to Google+, and people who don't use social networking at all are... questionable people at best. Something very fishy there.

And Facebook can sell my information all it wants. Seriously, go ahead. What can possibly be gained from that? Anything I genuinely want kept secret I don't put on bloody Facebook.

It will die as soon as someone else comes with a better idiot-fishing idea.
Every single person I know has Facebook. If someone doesn't, then it's a clear sign that there's something wrong with them socially.

Indeed even if they actually destroy Facebook which is actually not possible in my opinion since any solid or famous website has backups in case they lose their data, they can create Facebook again under another name with a new theme and whole new system however the owners will stay the same I guess.

If I want to talk to friends I prefer to talk to them in MSN or personally, instead of writing stuff for a dozen other unrelated people to read it so I can get z0mg attention = zomg internets. That does not make me a socially issued person. Unless you are meaning ''socially wrong'' as in not going in with the rest of the bored crowd.

Anyway these attack groups could just be bluffing, I don't know...? Still it's not exactly something to be sure of, but it ain't something to underestimate either.

If everyone you know was to have Facebook, and you were the one who did not, then that would make you socially issued.
I don't know about your country, but everyone I know has it - and if you're the one guy who does not then you are going to be left out of everything and not talked to.

..and forced you to make an account and "adapt". So Facebook uses more and more psychological methods to attract new users.
The advertisements are really invasive and they search them following a "keyword" pattern on your profile. Plus the all knowing eye thing.
They know your location. But we shouldn't complain at it because we all agreed to this.

If "fashion crazes" is a term you use to describe something useful that's peaking at the moment, then by all means, call it as such. It's called looking to improve your life.

You find it life improving because that's how the life is today. Doing everything from a chair.

Not that I complain. There are valid reasons why facebook has "likers" and "haters". But we can't actually turn to ascetics.

The facebook ad system is perfect.  It allows advertisers to choose their audience by letting them select their target age group, location, gender, etc. It's not invasive at all, the advertisers don't get to know anything about you. 

Yes, facebook does know your location. Guess what? So does every website you visit (including SAMP :razz:)

FACEBOOK MUST DIE!

The fact that facebook knows all your information is true, when you register you give them all your information, when you upload pictures they know what you look like. Think of it this way: You give them your email address, your postcode (Which can be used to find your house), your date of birth your sex and then when you get into facebook you upload pictures of yourself which allows them to know where you live, how old you are and know what you look like, pushing de-activate button on your facebook is useless as said, all of the things on your facebook are already saved.

I have facebook but I'm a no-life so I havnt even uploaded a pictures of myself, and I havnt been on my facebook since like 2008, but it's also the same for google and youtube, you give them everything about you, they could  knock on your door and murder you for no reason tomorrow if they wanted to because they know that much about you. I never EVER give my correct postcode out to any website for example, the only people that have my postcode is my bank, school I used to go to and all courses I'm currently on, you can say it's just being stupid if you want to, but maybe I just don't want a company full of people I don't know sh*t about knowing everything about me. :)

How can that exactly be prevented? Sites like Facebook are free to use for everbody, so I'm not surprised a few of those scums used it to organize looting sessions and what not. However, on the plus side, thousands upon thousands of FB pages have been set up in support of the police, with people uploading pictures and together trying to identify rioters.

And the football firms are using it to organize defences for their cities, as well as what was mentioned above.

How can that exactly be prevented? Sites like Facebook are free to use for everbody, so I'm not surprised a few of those scums used it to organize looting sessions and what not. However, on the plus side, thousands upon thousands of FB pages have been set up in support of the police, with people uploading pictures and together trying to identify rioters.

And the football firms are using it to organize defences for their cities, as well as what was mentioned above.
Yes they police have been which is good, but even though theres people on the police's side of Facebook theres still people who arnt and are using it to organise crime, but I think it's pretty obviouse that any social networking site iwll of course be used to organise crime at some point especially those with 'private' pages like Facebook where only people on your freinds list as such can see what your writing.

Interestingly, if they were to block Facebook (which they never would, clearly) for even a short period of time, the amount of angry people suddenly out on the streets would be astonishing.
Of course it could happen, but then the people in-charge of Facebook would more than likely attempt to sue the British government or what ever association does close Facebook, theres the option to close Facebook or use it to locate the rioters, for example maybe Facebook should give governments some kind of administration rights to facebook to track down the people causing all the looting and riots and also ban then from using social networking sites of even worse the internet...

There's no point in arguing about Google+ and Facebook. Just use the one you like. I use facebook. Why? Mainly because of it's friendly user interface and the fact that all my friends use it. Barely anyone I know uses Google+ regularly (or cares about it).

Seeing as Facebook was created by a Hacker, and is currently run by a team of ex-hackers and computer programmings with a lot of skill. I have a feeling that if something happens the site will be down for like an hour at most, and most likely only in one country seeing as not every facebook profile from every country is hosted in one spot.

I dont think Facebook in a setting such as Highschool is a good thing. But when you graduate and everyone goes off to University in the US and Canada, its great to have a system like Facebook where you can keep in touch. My parents always talk about how they lost touch with many of their Highschool friends and Facebook allows our generations to prevent that from happening. But your right, peple who use it to talk with people they live 5 minutes away from is kinda dumb.

More than a social network where you meet people "for fun" it also has become a professional network. I use it, daily, to keep in touch with old coworkers and to meet new partners as well as sharing (new) ideas.
Though, I'm more a fan of linkdin, facebook also does the job. :)~

Oh, and remember when there was a message being spread that we would had to pay to use facebook? Same laughter for this "end of facebook". ;)

FACEBOOK MUST DIE!

The fact that facebook knows all your information is true, when you register you give them all your information, when you upload pictures they know what you look like. Think of it this way: You give them your email address, your postcode (Which can be used to find your house), your date of birth your sex and then when you get into facebook you upload pictures of yourself which allows them to know where you live, how old you are and know what you look like, pushing de-activate button on your facebook is useless as said, all of the things on your facebook are already saved.

I have facebook but I'm a no-life so I havnt even uploaded a pictures of myself, and I havnt been on my facebook since like 2008, but it's also the same for google and youtube, you give them everything about you, they could  knock on your door and murder you for no reason tomorrow if they wanted to because they know that much about you. I never EVER give my correct postcode out to any website for example, the only people that have my postcode is my bank, school I used to go to and all courses I'm currently on, you can say it's just being stupid if you want to, but maybe I just don't want a company full of people I don't know sh*t about knowing everything about me. :)

If I remember correct you gave Facebook your info? Of course you did

Any internet related service already has your IP and that's enough to get all the information you listed above :)

Most website do keep logs of daily visitors as mine does but before it would keep logs of your IP, Operating System, Screen Resolution, Browser, Country,What pages you visited and how many times, which url brought you to my site and that's just by visiting the site, fucked up eh?



omfg argonathrpg must die because your ip and everything you do is logged and they can backtrace your ip and get all ur info omfgggggggggggggggg :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

omgggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg kill!! :alert" :alert" :alert" :alert" :alert" :alert" :alert" :alert" :alert" :alert" :alert"



Only thing I have on FB is a video a picture what school I go to and which city I live in, If they do sell that I would just lol and say  "I'm glad you wasted your time to sell my info you must really care, sex?" haha

Anonymous, if what you speak of is true, then I do wish you luck. You have a good reason to follow your cause if users are being abused like this.

As for them succeeding, I see it as totally possible. No one thought MySpace could die when it became the biggest internet sensation since Google, but look what happened to them. They were worth billions before News Corp. bought them out, and they were just recently sold for a mere few million, with a good 99% of their users either leaving or permanently "AFK'ing". Regardless of whether Anonymous succeeds or not, FaceBook will one day fall, just as everything in the world eventually does. Nothing lasts forever. It's just a matter of how and when. Yahoo! and AOL are also good examples of this. They used to dominate the internet until Google and high speed internet services came along. Everything must end at some point.

As was the case with MySpace during it's peak period, many people like to sit and basically make social networking their life, sending messages, comments, and pictures to each other for hours on end, only to become more separated from society outside of their own home. That's basically what Rami was making his statement against.

Agreed. It got so bad when I was in High School during MySpace's peak that teachers would allow kids to use the classroom computers to go on MySpace if they finished their work before class was over, so they actually bribed the kids to get their stuff done! :rofl:

Even worse, I was the school's main tech since besides the computer teacher who was a Mac guy, there was no one else qualified in the school to work on any of the computers, so I handled the PC's. Because of this, I had my fair share of dealing with dumb "MySpacers" getting hacked because they'd save their login info in the browser, or leave their pictures on the computers, not to mention the dozens of viruses they would infect the computers with by clicking on fake ads and apps. It was a nightmare to say the least...

How is that bad? Just generic data that helps webmasters understand where their visitors are coming from, what screen resolution their site should be adjusted to, perhaps what languages they should consider translating their site to..

What Aldo listed isn't bad, but I think the main concern is other, more personal things that they log, even if you delete your account. As far as I know, they also have no warning, even when signing up, about logging things like your IP, OS, etc., so many are probably unaware. It wouldn't be the first time FB got in trouble for this, though.

There isn't much you can do with a person's operating system, screen resolution, and country of origin. It's not like they're going to find out your name, address, and social security number. The SA:MP serv shows everyone your country of origin when you join. Is it fucked up?

Anyways, the vast majority of Anonymous is condemning these "attacks." The only way to destroy Facebook is for something better to come along, or to have a MASSIVE insider attack across all their datacenters around the world. Forget about a DDoS, they won't even take it down for three seconds.

There are so many BS laws passed now that they can violate every single one of your rights by just accusing you of being a terrorist without proof, and gain access to anything relating to you or people you talk to without even needing to justify it.
