I need to vent for a second. My mother, who doesn't do the SLIGHTEST to guard my information, has put out my birthday, my images (without my consent- that is, she will yell at me, *yell*, if I don't want my picture taken, and she will put it online regardless of what she gets), my full name, even our hometown and pictures in which you could parse our address. She has put my behavior, everything good but also lots of things wrong I've done, here. This, by the way, is publicly available on her Facebook page. Let's look at her brother, my uncle. Same deal; he has two babies. He puts them on Facebook. As it stands, however, he and his wife (to be fair I don't have a dad) have at the very least locked this group to people he could approve. So, how do I, Ade Cole (or Louis Luevano Cole, as you'd get it from Facebook) know someone won't use my identity for fraud eventually? After all, they have all the information they need. It's not locked for shit, either. Creeps and f*gs really have full access to my life if they look hard enough. My mom has put my sign in information into Facebook before I'm even legally allowed to make one. Then she's all like, to me, "now listen ya lil motherf**ker, mind ya own damn business online and watch your digital footprint." Bitch I've given my address out to TWO people I know online, and you've given access to it to millions you don't know permanently. (I gave it to someone to try and coax them to let me call CPS for them, and the other because they told me theirs and by the way this is my boyfriend who I'm highly confident won't put it out on Facebook, scratch one more for my boy). So tell me. What happens if just one of my employers knows I looked up pornography in the sixth grade? What if in fact I'm ALMOST eligible for a high paying government job, but this bitch couldn't let go of saying "my child cut itself" to no one in particular. It's nothing y'all haven't heard before, and it's in a really deep corner of the Internet. Now, anyone can see it, but it's on a niche website out of public view. My mom could just as easily tell it to millions, if not a legitimate 4 billion people, on the f**king globe. This shit Pyongyang compared to that. So who's fair to say what to do or not to do, when they have my information? I trust Google more than her Facebook page. And Google is essentially a data broker that tells you the answers to your homework. Absolutely unacceptable, and yet. Here's a lil story from early this year. I dress like-
