Legal statement on profile.
Jump to: Newest in thread
I don't understand why so many people put a legal statement on their profile that names a social media site rather than Fab, have they simply not read it before posting it ? I have asked people but got ignored  |

There's often things that people put on their profile that I don't understand why they would, but to be honest it doesn't trouble me, and I certainly wouldn't waste my time asking them to explain it. K. |

Usually preceded by 'I never know what to say in these things' plus maybe their age and gender and stuff that's listed already 
It gives them comfort of some sort, to have put what's copied from some other numpty. |

It's hilarious, people are gullible.
There's a whole wormhole of how inaccurate each legal statement is.
So far I've counted the following.
The European Human Rights one.
The Facebook one.
The BCS one
The ICC code one.
The Sydney Uni one.
I get over invested in the individual silliness of them all. |

As if anyone would use their photos anyway.....
It's wishful thinking  |

Fab has, for as long as I can remember, had this in the FAQ's
"We've noticed a legal disclaimer paragraph that some people have on their profiles. Should we have one too? What are they about? Do they do any good?
The "legal disclaimer" is pointless nonsense and all does is take up extra space on our servers. Please remove it if you have it on your profile. If you're worried about privacy please set your account to be hidden from non-registered users on your privacy page (this also hides it from search engines but may take a week or two to drop out of search) and remove the notice (and encourage others to do likewise).
Common sense advice would be NOT to put any information on your profile (here, or on any such site) that could identify you or that you don't want to become public! So for your own benefit, don't post phone numbers, real names or email / instant message addresses on your profile that people might see or "Google".
Some people may put non-identifying pics on their public profile but keep face pics private or for friends, for example."
I often think there's a definite correlation between people that still put it in their profiles and think it does anything from a legal standpoint, and the number of people who repeatedly ask questions already answered in the site FAQ's, such as 'why don't people reply' and 'why am I getting messages from people I'm not interested in'.
Often there seems to be more words in the disclaimer than text about the owner on some profiles. 🤷♂️ |
