Black Friday for Future?

Hat es nicht etwas Absurdes, dass der heutige 29. November gleichzeitig ein Black Friday und ein Friday for Future ist?
Zumindest sind die Anhänger des amerkikanischen Hochfests des Konsums im Kaufhaus, und die der sauberen Luft davor. So wird die Aufgabe für die Polizei einfacher, die verfeindeten Parteien auseinander zu halten: sie muss nur auf die Kaufhaustüre aufpassen...

Heute in der Heilbronner Stimme:

Heute in den AGBs von Facebook: »Insbesondere wenn du Inhalte, die durch geistige Eigentumsrechte geschützt sind (wie Fotos oder Videos), auf oder in Verbindung mit unseren Produkten teilst, postest oder hochlädst, gewährst du uns eine nicht-exklusive, übertragbare, unterlizenzierbare und weltweite Lizenz, deine Inhalte (gemäß deinen Privatsphäre- und App- Einstellungen) zu hosten, zu verwenden, zu verbreiten, zu modifizieren, auszuführen, zu kopieren, öffentlich vorzuführen oder anzuzeigen, zu übersetzen und abgeleitete Werke davon zu erstellen.«

Ein Blick in die AGBs »gibt dir die Kontrolle«. Nene, es bleibt hier bei facebookfreier Zone.

The majority of native speakers is still German, however, let's switch to English (or at least to what I think is English). I am not a lawyer, but technician, and my simplified understanding of this is the following: If you write a book and ask a publisher to do his part of the work, you give away the "Verwertungsrecht" (patent rights? usage rights? in English), but you always keep the copyright ("Urheberrecht"). Does the publisher have the right to translate my German book to English and sell it in Australia? No. Does the publisher have the right to use your ideas in the book and place the name of the publisher's CEO as author on the book? No.

Now re-think the above AGBs in terms of these two categories. Or in other words: What is left for the category copyright?

@h.ear.t To my opinion it is far more than what a publisher needs. Bus stations shouldn't be a legal problem. If I would be the author of that book, I would never sign such a contract.

@Mike Macgirvin If I click on the hashtag, I just get an - more or less - empty page. Shoudn't there be more than that?

@all Don't care about your ideas here, I am a strange publisher running a hub, which is of course Mike's work, just for fun.

The link on the tag should return all posts tagged #DoubleThink . When I posted it, there would have been one post with that tag. Now there should be two.

Anyway, Facebook claims you have more control over privacy, but you have none. In the terms and conditions you assign all rights to your content to Facebook - even if you don't own the content. They can then do anything they desire with it. Really - anything. You have waived all rights. So this ad is merely a smokescreen to make you think that you have some control when you do not have any.

An example of how Facebook can use this information follows. This is a real example. A friend of mine (Cheryl) clicked 'like' on an image of Vegemite. At some later date I saw in my stream "Cheryl likes Vegemite" attached to a photo of a jar of Vegemite. She had given Facebook permission to construct this ad with her name in it by merely signing up to the service.

What Facebook did not research (and probably should have) is that Cheryl died of cancer a week before I saw this ad after a lengthy illness and she was an upstanding member of the community, a member of our local church, and a music teacher at my daughter's school. That is when I cancelled Facebook forever. Her daughter and husband (both of whom I was friends with on FB) saw the same ad. This doesn't just apply to likes. They can use your photos in ads and they don't have to ask you. They can use your posted text. Their algorithms can take any of your content and create an ad campaign from it and display this to your friends. Whether or not they show nude photos of you and your current girlfriend to your ex-girlfriend at this point is irrelevant. They actually *can* and you can't prevent it. You can tick all the privacy checkboxes you want and they can still do this - and much more. You might be able to tick a box and prevent McDonalds corporation from using your private photos, but you can't prevent Facebook from using them.

Incidentally, this is not my work. I just threw out some ideas and some code to do some cool stuff and then kept trying to improve on them.

So did a *lot* of other people.

@Mike Macgirvin DoubleThink - No, the searched comments with this tag do not show up, see below. If I go your channel via URL and search for a hashtag by hand in your channel, followed by a search within your channel by computer, the search page stays empty (I am connected via Zot6).

If I go to @Mark Nowiasz , it works as I would expect it (connected via Zot). If I repeat this via the place of @Mario Vavti , the things are also fine (connected via Zot6).

Strange?

@Mike Macgirvin Facebook - Strange and disturbing story. I would agree that from one's copyright ownership is nothing - or almost nothing - left, if the AGBs are taken for serious. That is, why I am Fecebook (Whatsapp, ...) free - although being the crank in the eyes of my real life friends in Germany.

Pretty strange because I get results on both my site and yours both for the tag and for a content search.

Yes, I can confirm the fix on your side. Right now there is something to fix at the host of my hub: ssh works like a charm, https is painfully slow. My hoster mentioned some router problems up to now.

Nichts dich erschrecken,
Alles vergeht,
Gott bleibt derselbe.
Geduld erreicht alles;
Wer Gott besitzt,
Dem kann nichts fehlen:
Gott nur genügt._

Das Ende einer Fruchtfliege

Gäbe es einen Darwin Award für Fruchtfliegen, dieses Exemplar wäre gut dabei. Zu nahe an die noch feuchte Kuverture des Karottenkuchens gewagt. Die trocknende Schokolade war schneller: einkuvertiert...
