help me on this one

Regarding the moral lashings that I viewed in the comments above, you don’t deserve them for posting the article. I find the article informative and I will now be guarded when viewing messages and friend requests.

You really seem proud about it.
I’ll prove you wrong. How?
I will be you on Facebook!
See if that is outside of the box enough for you?

No thanks for my great response.

TTT

Can’t we think from the friend’s ID that show when focusing on the friend’s picture?

Seriously, telling me in some detail what scofflaws do to hustle me is a public service that should be encouraged. I may own a copy of the Anarchist’s Cookbook for its entertainment value, but I don’t build bombs.

You could go out to a couple stores and find all the ingredients you’d need to build a bomb. If someone was concerned about people trying this, the WRONG thing to do is post the recipe for how to build a bomb in order to get the attention of the people who could prevent it from happening, i.e. the police.

In this case, the author is ostensibly trying to help improve FB’s security by posting the bomb making recipe.

You’d be better off going to FB directly instead of hiding behind flawed logic.

Do you have any other suggestions for part two, since a person shown in a public search without a profile picture might just indicate that their picture is set to private (and not that they don’t use facebook often, though that’s possible too).

Would it be too risky to copy the pictures/info of a friend’s public profile?

Look forward to testing this out.

I have a valid reason to need to see a private facebook page, I am not trying to get anyones personal info, or post negative comments. My fiance’s baby’s mother lives in another state and keeps putting old pics of her and my fiance as her main profile pic trying to portray that they are together and a “family”. They were never in a relationship and she got pregnant on purpose and deceitfully. My fiance only took the pic with her and the baby, for his daughter bday, my fiance tucked his away in his daughter memory book for her to have when she gets older, this biatch on the other hand, couldn’t wait to turn around and use the pic in a deceitful way, and “acting” like they are together so all her friends or anyone who looks at her profile will automatically asume they are together, so she won’t look stupid being a single mom. WE have contacted facebook and myspace numerous times and reported her and they do nothing! My fiance is upset because the pic wasn’t in that context and he doesnt like his pics online and doesnt even join social sites and never gave her permission to post his pic, especially in a false way.

Then she sets her pages to private so its like “what do you have to hide, and what are you saying to all your friends about my fiance that we can’t see?

I just want to see if she is being truthfull, and saying the guy in the pic is her daughters father, or if she is trying to act like she is in a real relationship. We live in VA and her in NJ and to see what other pics she may be posting that we can’t see.

what are we supposed to do when myspace/facebook doesn’t help victims, we have to take it into our own hands as we have tried for years to get help the right way.

Before we confront her we want to know the truth of her intentions. If she is really being truthfull, then ok who cares about the pic, but if she is lying then that is slanderous and she needs to be confronted and stopped.

You should not be allowed to post pics of other people without their permission. YOu should have to blank out others faces and only show yours unless you have permission.

That is so humiliating to me if my friends or family end up seeing her profile pic and it looks like he is cheating when they don’t even see each other, when he goes to NJ to visit his daughter, I am right there with him.

So how do i get this to stop without an article like this. I have no malicious intents, however the person who page I need to view has malicious intents towards me.

No one should be allowed to post any pic they want, if the other people in the pic wanted their business on the internet they would post it theirself.

We should be able to contact facebook and myspace and request a user take our pics down if we don’t approve.

For those with negative comments, there are far worst things in the world that people are doing, and information they are hacking than trying to view a dang social network page, BIG DEAL!

you shouldnt create the page if you don’t want to risk the chance of anyone seeing your personal information, there will always be glithes and security loopholes so don’t chance it, if you are so pressed to keep “private” about everything, if you don’t post it, no one can hack it!

Thats why my fiance doesn’t deal with the internet other than email or our home based business because he doesn’t want his pics or personal info out there so she shouldn’t be allowed to do it for him!

THanks again, I can’t wait to try this.
