For a lot of reasons (mainly work), I've chosen to get rid of everything involving social networks. I've grown disgusted with that shit. I did a search on myself (paid one) and found a lot of disparaging shit.

Google+ - Canceled
Facebook - Canceled
Blackplanet - Canceled
Myspace - Canceled
Old email accounts - Canceled
Twitter - Canceled
LinkedIn - Canceled

In the next 5 years companies will be including facial recognition on their background checks. I feel bad for the niggas who will turn 24 one day and realize that picture of them high as fuck will ruin whatever chance they had at getting that job at Morgan Stanley. Hopefully I can remove some of my digital footprint. Besides SOHH and Allhiphop IC, I aint fuckin with that social networking shit.

Three sites I ONLY have for promotional purposes. Otherwise yea I co-sign

They keep that shit forever dog....one of the reasons I kinda hope Facebook falls and another social network prospers. Facebook has so many unethical practices. You put something on there, its on there forever. Will be searchable forever. Someone puts something about you on there, its on there forever. Will be searchable forever. Somebody puts a compromising photo of you on there, you have no option to take that photo down. Its on there forever and could damage your job prospects.

Im done with that shit dog. There are a few companies out there that help you manage your digital footprint (i.e. hits on the internet connected to you)

At 16, you're not thinking that a status about smoking weed will hurt you when you're 30. It wouldn't even be that bad if FB allowed you to completely delete your shit but, it will always show. I just realized my AVI completely goes against this thread Hahahahahahahaha

Dayum son...got a nigga running through his memory banks for anything incriminating. Shit, I remember trying to work for this company and I found it weird that they wanted to befriend me on FB, the place where my shit was just hanging out. Since then I deleted my profile and I told myself I'm not doing FB anymore. Its too easy for whomever that wants to watch you. Cats posting location updates...tagging photos. I just started thinking about that shit one day and deleted my pro with the quickness before any other possible damage can be put into the equation. Meanwhile the masses are putting their life schedule on that site...its bugged out for real

Im tellin you dog....in a few years companies will be doing searches via facial recognition for all of their employees. I posted a photo on facebook a few days ago from high school and facebook already knew all of the people in the picture by scanning their faces. Creepy. I dont like that creepy ass shit.

This shit isn't funny but I gotta Lol...cuz you got a nigga straight noided. I heard about that face scan shit but I was out that shit before I seen it in action. That shit sounds creepy as fuck yo. One thing for sure, I'm definitely not reopening up that profile. The doc hates being lumped into "the system" with others being monitored and tracked. You say they got companies to help with your digital footprints? Any specific google key words I can use to research this?

All the shit in bold I canceled 3 yrs ago that google+ shit I got rid of with the quickness. I'm done w/facebook by the end of this year all I do is check the newsfeed and log out shit is boring now. Twitter and msgboards I can deal with though.

Just do a few searches for yourself (or your friends if that makes you feel more comfortable)

http://spokeo.com
http://intelius.com
http://reputation.com

You'll see how much of your shit is floating around the web.

http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Web Search/thread?tid=70f6a8609a4486c8&hl=en

this link is Google's FAQ section about removing yourself from their search engine. Im just delving into it, so I don't know everything. Search things like "Digital Footprint", "Removing my information from the Internet", "Removing my private information from online", etc. I know Facebook/Twitter photos are pretty much the tattoo ink of the web. Its there for life.

Ayo what I want to know is...how is it that this "facial recognition" work w/these employers?

Google/FB has software that recognizes a person by their facial structure. Can take one photo and figure out your identity (i.e. everything the web has registered under your name). If you were a fortune 500 firm, wouldn't you eventually implement this software in the near-future? Especially for high ranking positions.

Shit is really going to get real if they implement that shit man they letting these companies get away with too much shit like that is idk....the stuff these employers do now is an invasion of privacy.
