Twitter...STOP SPAMMING US!!!

I'm real close to unfollowing AC on Twitter. Is it just me or is anybody else sick and tired of seeing the endless RT's of the 12yr olds that have converted from GT5 on the console? I have to wade through nearly 30+ RT's from AC every day to find out there's absolutely NO valuable information there.

STOP SPAMMING US!!!

Thanks!

 

So unfollow.....what's the problem?

 

I told you what the problem is. I'm following to get valuable information if/when it's released not to have to sift through useless RT's. At this point I'm probably going to have to unfollow seeing as they have no idea how to use Twitter to advertise properly.

 

The Twitter looks to be more of a method of directly communicating with the users. For announcements and news and such, you'd be better off following the Facebook.

 

I use Opera 12.16, with very tight settings. Firewall, AV, MBAM, and a sandbox. Limited or no scripts, no Java, strictly controlled cookies, always deleted when browser closes, adware and browser blocker, no automatic redirecting. No Twitter installed. No FB. No Google+. No social spyware of any type. Especially the Google Kraken I am very aware of. Sometimes I use TOR or a VPN.

It is funny, at least here in Germany people are very much up in arms over the NSA and GCHQ scandal, although it should have been clear thjat those able to do these things actually WILL do them. However, people voluntarily will to strip themselves much more at Twitter, FB, and all their oh so important social services (which btw the way are quite anti to social life), and many people do not take computer security that serious at all. NSA and GCHQ all nice and well to complain about - but Google does much more in breaching people's private sphere, and nobody complains.

Switch twitter off an unsubscribe, I recommend. FB and Google+ as well.

 

@Ethan Dean Way too much common sense in your post, way too much.

@Skybird If the internet scares you that much just cancel your data plan, unplug the modem, and go back to 1980 FFS.

Just having an internet connection is taking a chance people could find things out about you....Being so scared of that fact to not use Twitter, Facebook, Youtube, Redtube, or Brazzers is weird to me....Maybe it's just because if people were to see my personal info they would quickly figure out that there is nothing of value there and to quickly move on but I just don't understand all of the fear, especially those people that are scared to death of Steam.

 

It's far from the same thing. I think the real irony is all the measures you go through and NSA and the likes will still be spying on you
