Facebook saves everything you type - even if you don't publish it

It turns out the things you explicitly choose not to share aren't entirely private, writes Jennifer Golbeck.

It's at this point you reconsider your status update.

A couple of months ago, a friend of mine asked on Facebook:

"Do you think that Facebook tracks the stuff that people type and then erase before hitting <enter>? (or the 'post' button)"

The NSA is monitoring things we have actually put online. Facebook, on the other hand, is analysing thoughts that we have intentionally chosen not to share. 

Good question.

We spend a lot of time thinking about what to post on Facebook. Should you argue that political point your high school friend made? Do your friends really want to see yet another photo of your cat (or baby)? Most of us have, at one time or another, started writing something and then, probably wisely, changed our minds.

Unfortunately, the code that powers Facebook still knows what you typed – even if you decide not to publish it. It turns out the things you explicitly choose not to share aren't entirely private.

Facebook calls these unposted thoughts "self-censorship", and insights into how it collects these non-posts can be found in a recent paper written by two Facebookers.

Then turn the tables on them and use their site against them. I use if for a blog and news site where I post articles. I don't leave anything on there but the articles I want up there and have been kicked off their once for posting articles about the history of not only the sites creator but of his family history and their connections to the global elites. Take care and God bless from ScribeCave.com
