I was hoping nobody in this thread would bring that up. Bruce Wayne didn't want people to know that he was Batman. Not too late to edit. (hint)

Could be but who signs some of his posts occasionally and is still here. ATS got a shout-out shortly after i asked Q to do so. They are always watching and tracking our moves. I changed my title for a specific reason. We are heading in the right direction but there is still a lot of work to be done.
ThanQ.

NEW YORK (AP) — Facebook's acknowledgement that most of its 2.2 billion members have probably had their personal data scraped by "malicious actors" is the latest example of the social network's failure to protect its users' data.
Not to mention its apparent inability to even identify the problem until the company was already embroiled in scandal.
CEO Mark Zuckerberg told reporters Wednesday that Facebook is shutting down a feature that let people search for Facebook users by phone number or email address. Although that was useful for people who wanted to find others on Facebook, it turns out that unscrupulous types also figured out years ago that they could use it to identify individuals and collect data off their profiles.
The scrapers were at it long enough, Zuckerberg said, that "at some point during the last several years, someone has probably accessed your public information in this way."
The only way to be safe would have been for users to deliberately turn off that search feature several years ago. Facebook had it turned on by default.
"I think Facebook has not been clear enough with how to use its privacy settings," said Jamie Winterton, director of strategy for Arizona State University's Global Security Initiative. "That, to me, was the failure."
The breach was a stunning admission for a company already reeling from allegations that the political data-mining firm Cambridge Analytica inappropriately accessed data on as many as 87 million Facebook users to influence elections.
Over the past few weeks, the scandal has mushroomed into investigations across continents, including a probe by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission. Zuckerberg himself will be questioned by Congress for the first time on Tuesday.
"The FTC looked the other way for years when consumer groups told them Facebook was violating its 2011 deal to better protect its users. But now the Cambridge Analytica scandal has awoken the FTC from its long digital privacy slumber," said Jeffrey Chester, executive director for the Washington-based privacy nonprofit Center for Digital Democracy.

That's not what i meant. Q is watching since we mentioned them in one of the many other threads before this awesome thing here happened. Q deserves there own Forum imo because this is history in the making. It's one of the most important happenings in our lifetime.

Not surprised about your mushroom story.
I spent a day periodically making 'FART' noises to my ALEXA...got 'Pooppouri' adds and 'Fun Facts about Farting' on my computer the same day.
What kind of sick man allows an Alexa in their home?!?!?!?!

Even knowing about it, when you notice it happen to you for the first time it can be jarring. I just watched my neighbors mind get blown yesterday by the same kind of thing. I actually thought he was going to cry for a second. It seriously rattled him, even though I've told him about this numerous times.
A lot of this is going to actually frighten people. I realized that big time yesterday.
