Here’s how to get rid of that incredibly annoying Facebook comments pop-up (more correctly called a Facebook comments “pop out”). Whatever you call it, whenever you click to read or write a comment on Facebook now this hideous, interrupting thing pops the comments out of the main window into its own separate little window smack in the middle of your screen. Our method isn’t ideal, but it does get around that pop-out and keeps your comments flat on the page, where they belong.

If you are wondering how to delete a Facebook page in 2022, you’re not alone. You really can’t be blamed for not being able to figure out how to delete a Facebook page, because Facebook has made deleting a page so well-hidden, it’s almost like they don’t want you to figure out how to delete a Facebook page! So we uncovered it, and are laying it out in a step-by-step tutorial for you (nyah, nyah, Facebook!)

If you received an email saying ‘Notice of Proposed Settlement of Class Action’ for a Facebook lawsuit settlement, it’s legit. There is a settlement in the Facebook lawsuit class action over the Internet tracking of Facebook users, and the settlement payout date will be some time after September 22, 2022. That is because September 22 is the date by which you must submit your claim as part of the ‘class’ and receive your payout. Nobody knows how much the payout will be, and in part that is because it depends on how many people submit claims; the settlement itself is $90million. Of course, the attorneys will receive about a third of that, leaving a pool of about $60million to be divided between everyone who submits a claim (that’s generally how class action settlements work).

Need to change a payment method on Facebook, cancel a Facebook payment on Paypal, or just find your Facebook payment settings so that you can revoke and remove a credit card, debit card, or Paypal account? It is so frustrating when you are trying to remove a payment card, Paypal access, or other payment method from a service to which you had previously given it, only to be unable to find where and how to do it, even though they made it so very easy to give that payment information to them in the first place. Here’s how to find your payment methods on Facebook so that you can revoke and remove them.

Yes, Facebook has once again admitted that there is seriously a problem with the way they are handling user data. Are we really that surprised? Maybe this is the first time you’ve seen the news that Facebook’s privacy issues are spiraling out of control. Or perhaps this is the first time you’ve cared to search for it. This isn’t a new occurrence.

Meta (c’mon, who is going to stop calling it Facebook? How about ‘MetaBook’ or ‘FaceMeta’?) says that they will stop using facial recognition, and will remove more than 1billion individual’s face recognition templates. This coming as, we are sure, heightened scrutiny when it comes to privacy in general, and facial recognition in particular, leads to Facebook Meta seeing the handwriting on the wall, and that handwriting says “there be potential lawsuits”.

Anyone who uses the Internet was aware of the big Facebook outage yesterday, October 4th, 2021. Of course, it didn’t just affect Facebook; WhatsApp and Instagram were down too. Here’s what happened, according to Facebook. That this system-wide, multi-hour outage came on the heels of Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen revealing, among other things, that (she alleges) Facebook knew that the service was being used to facilitate human trafficking, knew that the Instagram platform was contributing to poor body image among teenaged girls, and intentionally was eliciting angry responses from Facebook users seems to be pure coincidence, at least if Facebook’s engineers are to be believed.

Facebook and Facebook companies WhatsApp and Instagram are currently experiencing a massive outage, and all three sites and services are down and unreachable. We are reporting this on Monday, 10/4/2021. According to our sources, this is the result of a failure in DNS resolving as it should.

Research recently released by Instagram supports claims that the social media site contributes to poor body image among teenaged girls and boys. The results of the studies, commissioned by and released this week by Instagram itself (well, parent company Facebook) suggest, rather than, as they claim, refute the claims made recently that Instagram leads an appreciable percentage of teen girls (in particular) to feel badly about their bodies and themselves.

In what is the second-largest GDPR fine to date, Ireland’s Data Protection Commission announced today that they have fined Facebook subsidiary WhatsApp €225million, or the equivalent of $267,198,750.00 USD, for several gross violations of GDPR (the General Data Protection Regulation in effect in the EU, as well as the UK since the UK’s ICO adopted it’s own “UK GDPR” following Brexit).
