you can't trust Facebook with your data

 you can't trust Facebook with your data

Facebook works with over 190 marketing

partners that work with thousands upon

thousands of retailers and advertisers

all of your facebook data are shared

with hundreds of data brokering

companies all of which are equally

vulnerable to cyber attacks like the one

that happened to Equifax data brokers

who bought your data from Facebook will

sell it with your real life identity to

whomever is willing to pay for that

without checking the background of their

clients virtually anyone could buy your

personal information in a form or

profile with your physical world

identity your facebook data these

companies hold in securely on their

servers not only includes your public

posts comments and likes but also your

private chats your browsing history

mobile information and your offline

activities like purchases in physical

stores given the nature of cyberspace

which always favors the attacker it's

perfectly rational to expect that some

of these companies were breached and

your data were stolen by hackers

just because you agree to the vaguely

written privacy policy upon creation of

your Facebook account your pictures

likes and comments lists of your friends

and private conversations you had with

them every website you ever visited all

of your mobile telemetric data social

security number address bank records and

employment history could be in hands of

some rogue foreign governments or shady

hacking groups selling your information

all over the darknet the United States

government will also take a copy of our

personal information just to be sure

you're another threat in any way no one

cares if your private information are

exposed to fraud and theft because

nobody regulates Facebook tracking and

database marketing industry simply

because you're dared to use the Internet.

your life is traded on an auction like a

piece of an archaeological artifact

found in an active coal mine your

security and privacy are decided on by

the bidders trading your private life

like it was just a piece of stock I

advise you to watch my breakdown of how

and where Facebook collects and sells

all of your personal information and

online and offline activities it's

really outrageous how Facebook's

unregulated business model created a

psychological profile on everyone on the

internet with AI that can predict your

future behavior with near 100% accuracy

take back your online security and

privacy today we are going to start with

Facebook the most popular social media

platform with over two billion monthly

active users what I mean by using

Facebook anonymously is to block all

attempts of Facebook trekkers and

potential hackers to steal your personal

information to make a profit off of you

or cause you some harm securing your

online presence is like securing your

house you just add layers of security

features like multiple box alarms and

much of starving dogs to give criminals

more obstacles to overcome before they

can get in the purpose is to increase

the amount of time and resources it

takes the breaking to eliminate number

of adversaries if a thief needs to pick

several locks and break through a metal

padlock while somehow not waking up your

bloodthirsty dogs it might as well just

take so long someone will notice them

and call the police if for whatever

reason you don't want to quit Facebook

you can at least take few steps to take

control over how much advertisers and

governments can track you through your

Facebook account if you want to protect

your online identity and privacy you are

going to have to change some browsing

habits but it's not going to be hard

it's just the fold of the mainstream

assumption that a character log

passwords are secure and you shouldn't

worry about who tracks what about you on

the Internet

let's start with the assumption you

already have a Facebook account that you

want to secure

we are going to start with analyzing

your Internet traffic and protecting

your online privacy by blocking all

Facebook records first you need to

understand how Facebook tracks you if

you're sending to your account on your

first browsing tab and then use the same

browsing session to surf the internet

Facebook collects it all they'll know

which websites visited for how long what

ads you clicked on online purchases you

made and so on Facebook uses your

assigned identification code to follow

you across platforms and even on your

phone if you use Facebook apps you give

Facebook access to know what other apps

you have installed on your device and

all other personal information Facebook

got permission to access Facebook will

take all your private information and

mesh them with your credit card

credentials to link your online

activities to purchases in physical and

online stores to stop Facebook from

doing this you have to separate your

browsing from your Facebook identity you

need a separate browser session for

Facebook and everything else and never

cross link in order to achieve that you

need a browser that deletes all

Facebook's trackers each time you close

it so that when you restart your browser

a new session will start and Facebook

won't have any access to your

information there are two ways you can

go about this you can either use tor for

all of your internet traffic or set up a

privacy configured file for

and have a separate browser for surfing

the internet and a separate one for

online identities if you want to use the

first method sending to your Facebook

account overt or via Facebook's onion

link and learn to close the session

before browsing for anything else even

if you use tor Facebook and Stricker's

capable of creating and match about your

identity across platforms desktop or

mobile these trackers can activate if

you connect to the clear net without or

an observer like the government hackers

or Facebook tracking AI could correlate

timings between your connections and

crack protection of your identity that's

how modern cryptographic get

circumvented they don't break it

mathematically that's too expensive they

just take advantage of bad operation

security and user error you need to make

sure all of these trackers are blocked

and cookies deleted if you want to keep

a distance between you and Facebook if

you login into Facebook through tor your

IP address won't be disclosed to anyone

who might want to intercept your traffic

your IP address reveals your physical

location and is one of the best ways

used for daxing provided you don't share

your home address with Facebook in the

first place heading your IP address is

going to do a lot to protect your

identity you can download tor browser

for your platform from their website or

project org for Android devices you can

install or both application which can be

used to route connection of any app on

your phone through tor you can then use

orfox to browse the web anonymously and

access only on websites tor makes it

difficult for an observing government

agency or an advertiser to correlate

your browsing history with the real-life

identity if you want to stay logged in

while browsing the web at the same time

and then want a closed session so often

you have to compartmentalize configure

firefox to block facebook trackers you

can watch my short privacy tutorial on

how to configure Firefox for privacy

there is more you need to do but for

starters install you blog origin that

blocks malware trackers and ads on the


web

HTTPS Everywhere that prevents major

websites for making insecure connection

to disclose your identity privacy badger

is a must to block social media plugins

that Facebook uses to track everyone

even after they logged out or don't even

have Facebook if you want to be

absolutely sure all Facebook trackers

are blocked and are willing to put up a

fight for it you can start interacting

with you metrics new metrics is an

excellent extension that will put you in

full control of what websites can and

cannot know about you you can blacklist

Facebook trackers together with Google

Twitter macros

of Apple and others that you might come

across you can choose which content you

want to allow to run for example if you

frequently visit YouTube you can set up

a human tricks to allow to fully load

the page on is visit everywhere else on

the web you metrics will block all

checkers go Google planned on websites

if you want to watch a YouTube video on

an external website you can choose to

allow it using you metrics the same

usage is for facebook you can allow

Facebook to load when you actually want

to use the site but be free to block all

of its tracking cookies social media

plugins ads and analytics tools that

almost every website uses when you read

an article and the page has a facebook

like button on it Facebook ads and

analytics tools that are invisible to

you you metrics will block those unless

you specifically allow them Facebook

want to be able to track your browsing

history your second choice of browser

for online identities can be tor but if

for some reason you don't like it either

use brave which has built-in protection

against directors or pale moon which is

same as Firefox but based off of an

older version else all configured pale

moon with same add-ons as Firefox I say

this is a privacy configuration but this

is also essential protection from

malware hackers and viruses on the

Internet in some cases it's even better

than an antivirus because this

configuration will stop a lot of malware

from getting into your computer from the

web in the first place

governments and hackers can also attempt

to display malicious ads and cookies on

your browser so that they can get inside

your device and this privacy protection

will stop that as well despite all this

protection Facebook might still be able

to trick some of your data through

partnerships with its immense arsenal of

third party trackers so let's give them

some fun you can use make Internet noise

calm to flood your browsing data with a

bunch of random nonsense good luck for

the AI to figure out your real browsing

habits if you cannot obtain from their

spying

then you can at least roll them into an

oblivion the last step to secure your

account is to use two-factor

authentication but there is a catch

Facebook really wants to know your real

physical phone number so that they can

better confirm match of your advertising

ID to in real identity that's why they

bought whatsapp for so much to have the

biggest database of phone number

registry on mobile users that can be

tied to Facebook's massive marketing

database however if you enable

two-factor authentication with your real

number contracted to your real name you

are not giving yourself too much

security anyway

SMS messages are not secure or encrypted

and there have been way too many cases

how to factor

certification was bypassed because of

this to get that extra security without

sacrificing your privacy

I'd suggest you only enable two-factor

authentication on Facebook if you can't

get a number that doesn't have your name

on it

there are ways you can buy prepaid SIM

cards that don't require activation with

your name get one of those and use it

only for verification messages and

nothing else if somebody wanted to get

your messages they wouldn't be able to

find your number based on your name I

don't have facebook and if you have one

I'm going to assume that featuring this

tutorial by EF F on how to enable

two-factor authentication will be enough

for you link will be in the description

as well another good security measure is

to have a separate email address just

for Facebook your Facebook account is

probably going to be primary target for

hackers similarly to having an anonymous

phone number if your email address

doesn't tie back to your real name it's

a plus I would also suggest not to use

this email address for anything other

than confirming and securing your

Facebook account if you choose

protonmail for your Facebook address you

can integrate encryption for messages

you receive from Facebook there is a lot

of sensitive information in emails

Facebook sends to your mailbox a hacker

could intercept them in transit and read

your password recover links Facebook

notifications and personal information

protonmail and Facebook PGP partnership

offers you to enable encryption as

another layer of security no protection

is 100% unbreakable if you are on the

radar for someone with enough resources

and patience they are going to get to

you that's why you need to be prepared

when that happens to maximize your cyber

defenses you will need to work on your

operation security you need to evaluate

your threat model and make sure that

even if someone is listening in they

cannot make any sense of it but we'll go

over that on my channel in the future we

will also cover how to create Facebook

account anonymously and whether that's

even possible another video in the near

future will explain how to create long

password in pass phrases regarding your

Facebook ID trick in your smartphone I

will take a look at smart phone privacy

and make some tutorials on how to

protect your mobile personal information

I might have left out some points so

please feel free to ask your questions

in the comment section below I will try

to answer all of them which shouldn't be

difficult considering the insignificant

size.
