She's been a thorn for years. Consider yourself lucky, but living under a rock.

Look her up on RationalWiki for a decent summary. I'm not posting her name because she has tools that search for mentions of her so she can find new people to harass.

I still cannot fathom a possible reason for Facebook to block someone from blocking someone. That makes no sense. So, somebody can no longer view a bunch of other people's profiles. So, what? Someone please provide a legitimate reason for this algorithm to exist that isn't grasping at straws.

Seriously, a bunch of people got doxxed just from being friends of friends of one person whose facebook was compromised. FB does not do nearly enough to help you build a wall around your poo poo. For example, did you know that your current profile photo is required to be public-visible? And when you change photos your old profile photo is not changed to friends-only automatically? I've fixed all my historical photos permissions and now only use not-pictures-of-me as profile photos.

People doxxing on FB is bad enough that I don't even friend other trans people on it anymore because crazies will just find a trans person and then start crawling friend links searching for more victims.

http://www.slowlyboiledfrog.com/2017/02/mark-regnerus-doesnt-like-teen-suicide.html

The quality of Regnerus' rebuttal is consistent with his most famous study, and he remains a shill handed a conclusion and paid to invent trappings of smart-sounding anti-gay gobbledygook for use in court cases.

This. But unironically. I know people who already get "remember this day" when the old posts are them talking about someone who died that they'd rather not be reminded about.

Remember how hard it was to get Facebook to bend at all for the real name policy which was putting trans lives in danger.

facebook doesn't let me delete other peoples' uploaded photos of me so every birthday i get a montage of pre-transition pictures i don't want to see with a "aren't these happy memories" message. i bet most of my friends get them on random occasions too (they send out friend-aversary videos and poo poo). thanks facebook.

i try to when i notice them, but there's like thousands of pictures of me from college parties and whatnot and as far as i can find there is no bulk-untag feature in facebook so you have to do it 1-by-1. and then some dickheads go and retag me anyway.

im thinking i might just close my account and open a new one but apparently facebook has ip banned people for doing that in the past.

I know a few people who have done that for various reasons, usually varying their name slightly, or run two parallel accounts, one for family and the other for their public life/profession.

They've never had any issues, although I guess that depends how likely someone is to be a loving prick and report a duplicate account.

It's also kind of lovely that Facebook (god, so many sentences must start that way.) requires you to put in the effort of untagging yourself instead of making people ask for your permission to tag you in the first place.

Easier to ask forgiveness than permission, especially when they already scraped all the useful data first. It's genuinely insane to me that some people are into the idea of Zuckerberg for president because the guy is a grade-a sociopath and everything Facebook does is vampiric on their users.

edit: But you can't just delete your facebook because then you will literally get cut out of social groups that only communicate via facebook and cannot plan a gathering via text or whatever.

Christ. That's rough. I'm lucky that I was almost always the person taking pictures so there aren't too many of me. I didn't really like having my picture taken to be honest, didn't know how to smile for real. At least now I know why it felt so wrong to memorialize who I was pretending to be for so long.

In 1997, a young gay man named John McKellar founded and was president of a group called H.O.P.E., Homosexuals Opposed to Pride Extremism. I won't go into all of his doctrine today, but I would urge each of you to go to Google and read about his life and his work. It's quite incredible.

this poo poo has been going on for decades, it's why bill and hillary condemned iran for "forcing" gay men to have sex changes or be executed while the south was arresting people at gay nightclubs for sodomy and matthew shepherd was murdered. heck israel and the obama administration did that poo poo for years as well, ignoring the lgbt rights issues in their own country in order to justify their agenda. no reason to think right wingers haven't noticed its effectiveness. heck they've done the same thing except with women's rights, saying women should stay at home with one side of their mouth and condemning the middle east for not allowing women to drive with the other. it's a proven strategy

That's literally been going on for like 15 years and more, same thing with pretending to care about feminism so long as they can use it to attack those drat Muslims/Mexicans/whatever.

You will see signs at right wing protests against Islam that have the signholder crying some crocodile tears about how the Muslims hate gays even though the next day the signholder would be going to an anti-gay-marriage rally and saying queers need Jesus to fix them. There's even been a bunch of times that some right wing loon goes to a pro-gay-rights march with a sign like "Arabs are the real enemy of LGBT".

It was remanded back to the lower court to re-evaluate in light of the Sessions DoJ and DeVos DoE rescinding the transgender letter from the Obama admin.
