  1. The information regarding the removal of Trusted Contacts is very helpful – thanks for sharing it!

    I have never used my Facebook account and will continue doing the same thing: not using it.

    Thanks for passing on such valuable information to us, your readers. I appreciate it and you.

    • Passive tense is common used in the tech world for deflecting blame. On my first programming job, I accidentally erased a file. I told that users that I had accidentally erased the file. My boss was horrified. She said, when something like that happens, tell the users “there was a technical problem.”
      “we are experiencing technical problems beyond out control” translates to, “Someone screwed up”.

      That company had the most fanatic backup procedures, sending a truckload of backup tapes to be store in a cave in the desert, but there was no backup of that one because it was a transaction file that would be batch processed later.
