Staying off social media doesn’t protect privacy, study claims
News / UK and world by Press Association January 22, 2019, 11:29 am Send us a story Sign up to our Daily newsletter A new study into social media claims that privacy on such platforms is like “second-hand smoke” and is controlled by other people as much as the user. Researchers from the University of Vermont and the University of Adelaide have said it is possible to build a profile of a person from data gathered from the posts of eight or nine of their contacts. They claim their study showed it was possible to predict what that person was likely to tweet next as accurately as if they were looking directly at the individual’s own Twitter feed. The study also claims that even if a person leaves a social media platform such as Facebook or Twitter – or never even joined – the online posts of their friends can provide up to 95% of the “potential predictive accuracy” of a person’s future activities.

Violent bully Gary Bulmer subjected his terrified partner to a series of beatings - some of them because she got innocent social media messages and friend requests. The control freak repeatedly demanded to check his 33-year-old victim's phone and became possessive and abusive within weeks of their relationship starting. On one occasion he poked her in the eye for getting a Facebook friend request and on another he kneed her in the face for getting a Snapchat message from a family friend. A court heard he also snapped her mobile phone and smashed a replacement on the floor in a rage. Now Bulmer, 32, has been branded a "bully" by a judge as he was locked up for the "degrading" attacks. Judge Jeremy Freedman, at Newcastle Crown Court, told him: "You began a relationship in early 2018 and very quickly, you became a violent, abusive and controlling bully. "You embarked on a course of conduct which resulted in you assaulting her on a number of occasions and damaging her property. "You were … [Read more...] about ‘Controlling bully’ attacked partner for getting social media messages
