[TR] Triumphs Digest, Vol 17, Issue 118

[Carl Sereda]

 Thanks for the info Dave,Wasn't fully aware of Facebook's invasiveness although my neighbor who works at Facebook alludes to exactly that. I do use Chrome 'incognito' pretty much on my 2017 iPhone and my 2009 iMac.
Ps; I've had much better luck selling things, and renting apartments out, on 'Facebook Marketplace' lately, than on Craigslist and Zillow.Regards,Carl '63 TR4 since '74

A big caution.  Facebook is extremely aggressive about polluting your computer and collecting data.  You will notice, if you are a facebook user, that you get many ads, etc., in facebook that have been culled from your searches, etc.  Facebook is collecting ALL your data from your web browsers and elsewhere on your computer and phone.  If you use Facebook, and I do this, go to chrome, then go to incognito mode, then log into facebook.  This keeps it from collecting information from that, and your other browsers.  It?s a hassle I admit, but well worth it.  Facebook is EXTREMELY invasive.

It is also very biased and will censor your posts if you are of the opposing political viewpoint.  And that?s a fact.

Hi Listers,
I also enjoy seeing a little pickup in action over here!
But if you don't know about 'Facebook Groups' I am recognizing some folks from here that have spoken up over there. Once you join one of many groups (seems every marque available) but for me, signed up fpr vintage Triumphs and Volvos,  specifically; Triumph TR4s and Volvo 122Ss, etc., so I get regular updates (few times a week).
Seems the platform Facebook is attracting 'new to our car marque' people because Facebook is already well known to the younger generation but is indeed getting some of us more seasoned folks to participate (just following the fondness of my car, listers!). Also, it's simple to post pictures there so folks are sharing both beauty shots as well as photos of their problem bits.. nice to see.
In summary, it's pretty active over there because of migration.
Regards,
Carl
