RMweb Gold pirouets Posted March 20, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 20, 2018 So with all the stories around scraping data from Facebook, just what do we think Mr York and his associates do with it? Personally I think he now employee's the little people from the Railway Modeller cartoons and sends them out to our respective modelling hideaways and based on our latest posts hides the key thing we are looking for. Or alternatively he is planning a bring back Super 4 track campaign with targetted posts and adverts. Any other wild ideas? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Storey Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 If anyone spent any time looking at us in detail, I suspect they would soon be enrolled in Mrs Ford's Clinique, sharing their nightmares with, perhaps, a Mr Ant? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozexpatriate Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Sometimes it's like watching "The argument sketch" on a loop. And not just the five minutes either or even the full half hour. Sometimes it means going next door for abuse. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Y Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Bang on the money Oh, the irony. Tuts at it mostly I would have thought. That's on a good day. Anyway I am obviously obliged to state to users that no data is used for any nefarious, political, personal or other such uses. Having got the serious bit out of the way the only vulnerability that members may experience is purely self-inflicted through their public postings, particularly those frequently using the words "I want"; you can't then grumble that a provider latches onto these wishes and dreams. Although I suspect many of those free wishes do not translate into financial commitment. Anyway, what some people should fear far more are dangerous sources much closer to home who may be watching in and mentally logging dates, purchases and prices - the consequences of which can be far more serious than electing an orange ape into a position where he has the nuclear access codes. 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Kylestrome Posted March 21, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 21, 2018 (edited) Anyway, what some people should fear far more are dangerous sources much closer to home who may be watching in and mentally logging dates, purchases and prices - the consequences of which can be far more serious than electing an orange ape into a position where he has the nuclear access codes. This is just a thinly veiled attempt by Andy to free up some space on the server. He's obviously hoping that a good many of us will now be rushing to erase all the incriminating evidence.

Vanders Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 So Hornby hiring Cambridge Analytica and using our data to bombard people who prefer Bachmann with adverts and misinformation is definitely fake news, then? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted March 21, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 21, 2018 I wonder if Cambridge Analytica have yet managed to crack the various codes such as P4, OOSF, and J27 that keep on appearing or if they have determined the social significance of a debate about OO and 00? And are they ranking opinions about Network Rail and train operators on the basis of threads on RMweb in order to give DafT the criteria for their future errors. plans. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
eastwestdivide Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 I reckon a lot of posters on here have already cottoned on about data surveillance/analytics, and deliberately post nonsense to confuse "them". There's surely no other explanation for the sheer amount of nonsense? 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

More to the point, can they explain the differences in such a manner, that there will be some sort of agreement and enlightenment? Also what do they make of the repeated jokes in the 'Wheeltappers' area and how people can get trapped in a train for hours, in a snow storm? 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
