...their personal details handed back to them.
The time it takes the customer to 'like' and order, the team have their name, occupation, mothers maiden name, place of birth, likes, interests and lots of other personal details, all written on the cup.
This was an experiment to show how easily we all leave ourselves wide open to identity theft.
pukeface666
That guy was just going to town on his donut right at the front counter.
shoulkion
"Hentai, statecraft, steam games, xrays does this guy do anything besides masturbate and play videogames?"
Sprixxen
The only one that could possibly be used is the maiden name but they'd also usually need your SSN/TIN. Even then fraud is detectable.
TheIncredibleCaptainObvious
And then...where do you throw the cup away? It has all your shit written on it.
Trantarius
While that is creepy, you need SSN, credit card info, or at least passwords to do any damage. That stuff isn't on facebook. Worst case ....
Trantarius
...scenario, you get into my Netflix account.
juliendg137
The first test would be like what data did you put in Facebook
norrinraddsboard
I aint that hard up for a coffee. Anyone that knows me can attest that I am at least 32-35% coffee.
mellowdrama
This is an experiment in losing customers. People hate it when you point out their flaws.
BitLizard
It's altruistic. They care more about educating people about privacy than making a profit.
SnowMercy
Or you could just NOT fb. I haven't for years now, best. decision. ever.
TheMadMason
"Identity theft", so they took their FB info that is public? What if it's a private account, experiment over?
governmentgavemeagun
Yeah, they don't show those people in the promo, they just edit them out.
UmmeZLM
This was on ripoff Britain this morning. Very interesting to see how we all openly display our private details on the Internet
MyFrontPorchInMississippi
I understand people who want privacy, but this stuff has always fallen flat with me. I don't care. I'll give you open suggestions if you...
MyFrontPorchInMississippi
...want you don't have to sneak around man.
Adultieradult
I'm a bounty hunter. We use Facebook 100% of the time to track our targets. It's incredible how much information you can find on there.
ChickHearnsGhost
Uhhhh this isn't even close to identity theft. They just have some basic ass info off of him. The CIA has it all and should be charged
Musicjunk
If they wanted to know about you they already do. I don't see the problem..
ArniePye
Well they'd find out that I'm a Zombologist studying Zombology
DigitalMau
do you work at http://www.zombo.com/ ? I hear you can do anything there
MethGasolinePissLemonade
I am a Wombologist who teaches Wombology, the study of Wombo. You know. I wombo, you wombo. He, she, we - wombo.

PacifistPlaythroughs
OH NO THEY FOUND OUT ALL THE STUFF I WANT OTHER PEOPLE TO KNOW ABOUT ME (in a way that i've curated to present a desirable image)
ronin1869
True. But you can still use FB and not volunteer all your information aside from the minimum. Also never give the right answer to 1/2
ronin1869
...security question on forms etc. That way no one can farm the data from your records. e.g. Batmobile as response to 1st Car question.
Heavymettle
See, the thing is, I don't give a rat's ass if anyone knows anything about me. Stare my facebook up and down, masturbate to it, idgaf.
Heavymettle
If you steal my identity, make sure to stay on time with those student loan payments. Get baited.

Puffmax
The only thing I have on my facebook is that I live in Canada, am Asian, and a photo of me with a dozen other Asian friends together.
InternetLawyer
Sent you a PM with what info I could find about you, assuming I found the right person. I'll give you, you do a pretty good job hiding stuff
lurkvoter
Yeah, I have most info hidden even from friends. (And you can't see shit if you're not a friend.) This would be a v. boring experiment w/me.
FreyaNicci
I have....six different personas on the internet so friends and family don't interact with my social media platforms.
bluearm

terrorofthederp
Nor really sure what this shows - anyone going on Facebook can pick up all those details?
ShartsoftheAllFather
2/2 Look at the next mini-van that you see. All the information needed to kidnap their child just contained within their bumper stickers.
ShartsoftheAllFather
That is exactly what this shows. That is LITERALLY the point. People open these gaping holes into their personal lives without thinking. 1/2
terrorofthederp
But the people posting it on Facebook know they are doing it. So they know that others can see these details.
dazedNconfuzed
As an abstraction, yes. Not the total reality. One "like" seems innocent until it's used to change your bank password.
terrorofthederp
But it couldn't if you didn't give out the info used to keep your bank account safe. Give copies of your house key out and you'll be robbed.
NotAnIroningBoard
This
terrorofthederp
If I wore a work name badge and someone looked at it and said "Hello xxxxx", I wouldn't be fucking surprised! "But, but, how did you know?"
ShartsoftheAllFather
They know, but they don't KNOW. Most people just do this kind of stuff without thinking.

So the idea is to show that anybody can access your FB information? Have fun finding out I'm a psychiatrist at KFC.

Laynal

zomnoms
I don't even use my real name on FB, plus it's all set to private and I only add people I know for real, so good luck getting info.

Except all my fb details are fake except for my name. Does not everyone that isn't a grandmother do this?

SomeThingsAboutKittyCats
All of mine are real. I use FB to connect to old friends and new ones so having real information helps us reconnect
itsnotracistifitstrue
I was about to say EVERYTHING on my facebook is fake but i don't even use facebook soo..
mikeatike
So if you said you had a facebook account, you would be correct, everything including the account is fake. :)
Aquilarden
My info isn't fake, but it's only stuff I'd offer willingly if asked.
PokemonNumber351
On my inactive fb I'm a widow and my friend is my uncle and wife at the same time.
mikeatike
So facebook thinks you are from West Virginia. Good thinking.
swatz
No, it seems the younger generations like the idea of sharing everything so easily with their friends. My kids think I'm crazy when I point<
swatz
>out things like this. LIke Dad just keep your tinfoil hat, we're fine. *sigh*
mikeatike
So its like a generational skip. Old people and young people are super naive.
swatz
Laugh,maybe that or old people don't realize how it works and while being kind of paranoid,the ignorance is not realizin everyone can see it
AnonoMouser
Fake name, fake occupation, etc. and it's all really disgusting stuff too. So go ahead and put it on your Starbucks brand cup, I don't care.
KlatnYelox
No, people expect you to be real on facebook. Almost as crazy as expecting you to use it.
InanityWolf
I have zero details, and all my liked pages and shared posts are set to private.
mikeatike
Facebook itself shares your private items to companies that pay. However if you have no details you are in better shape.
Aerolfoz
I was born in the 1800s and am a six star general for the US Army. I'm not even American.
mikeatike
I believe you, General Pershing.

Yes, I am totally Pershing. It cannot be fake at all. I'll go do some commandy stuff now.
Chols
Mine are real. Anything you could get from having a 5min conversation with me.
Punderstandable
Would this hypothetical conversation involve waterboarding?
mikeatike
You shout person details at people you just met? Ohhh wait, I get it. Yeah, you control what you put on facebook. Just put things you want.
TeslasMustache
Mine too, and almost everything is set so only friends see it. And I'm particular about ppl I friend.
RaynWisp
Friendwalling doesn't work, it just means your account is only as secure as your dumbest friend.
mikeatike
Also Facebook will be happy to sell your details.
triple07
Look at you, Mr."Common" sense
mikeatike
I think we should rename it to just "Sense". Common is right out.
triple07
I mean, you can do that. I'm not because I'll probably forget to.
DavidBrooker
I'm not sure it's common sense to make all your details fake, as opposed to adjusting your privacy settings appropriately.
flapperfemmefatale
All my info is real. My profile is set to friends only
mikeatike
You know that facebook sells that information, right?
flapperfemmefatale
Sure, but why should I care? It's nothing you wouldn't learn about me in conversation.
ICantThinkOfAU
I'm so paranoid I don't even have it, don't mean that in a hipster way, I'd like it, just too scared to get it.. Scared of cameras and stuff
mikeatike
Do you have friends that use it? I know people that don't use facebook that get tagged in pictures other people take.
ICantThinkOfAU
Yeah I mean I'm sociable as fuck, I'm mad on it every weekend with "The lads" and sometimes a few people will get me to take a selfie or 1/
ICantThinkOfAU
whatever with them when I'm fucked enough to not care... but I just sorta see it as "What I don't know can't hurt me". I get a bit 2/

Nope. Most people put all their info.
Tofubutton
Seriously wtf is this guy talking about
SomeThingsAboutKittyCats
I have all of my info. If I was bored and talking to someone about of life they would know all of it within 30 minutes.
chris19992
This is exactly the reason I have numerous fake FB's, places asking to login or like via FB and this allows it without my real details
TechnicallyRight
Or. Don't have a fucking Facebook and have your fake ones for this shit. It's time to put Facebook away people it's been 13 years
SagaStrangeness
You know, I have 5 emails for that exact same reason, but never considered making a FB of it. Good idea!
2shortplanks
This reminds me of the chocolate-bar-for-your-password trainstation survey. If you'll believe me that's my password I'll take a bar...

Doesn't Facebook take down profiles that aren't real people, or whatever?
AkLonewolf
No, they are too big to give a shit any more. Our group is like 5 years old now for FB. no issues yet.
SnorlaxTheFlash
Oooh, that's a pretty good idea.
Enigmastick
This is exactly the reason why I don't have any kind of FB.
CanadianOneDollarCoin
Why would you need numerous fake accounts? Wouldn't one be enough?
chris19992
You'd think so but no, every so often some of the scammy "like us" people run a check and remove fake ones and block them
chris19992
Of course, your mileage may vary depending what compaines you try.
CanadianOneDollarCoin
Interesting. It would be cool to create a fully fake account. Post fake updates, pictures of other people. Go all out lol
chris19992
I honestly thought about doing that but then the laziness kicked in
paulking
This is the correct defense. Create so much info that it becomes useless. Protecting your info, otoh, is not a long term stable defense.
Textuality
I made a fake fb thing a long time ago, when I was first getting into Secret World, since they had a fb game for extra rewards. :)
wadenelson1
Wise move.
SoftBonez
Why wouldn't you just have one, but not share too much info on it and have tight privacy settings?
catfoodstudios
you'll still be getting targeted advertisements, stuff like real name tie ins etc. I prefer to have a real and throw away.
iwillmessagerandompeoplegifs
I have tight privacy settings on mine, and got asked in an job interview why my FB was set to private.
SoftBonez
holy shit! that's really weird. If you didn't have a FB at all they would've just straight up not interviewed you :D
meglingtonst
Suuuure....no catfishing!
ShartsoftheAllFather
Or you could just not have a facebook at all. If you wouldn't keep in touch with someone without it, they probably aren't worth knowing.
eleanorisadork
what if you're the one not worth knowing
ShartsoftheAllFather
Is that why you won't return my calls...?
eleanorisadork
You are worth it, Im just not ready to have my heart ripped out again.

I think fb is handy for me for a variety of reasons. I just make sure I only share information there that isnt relevant
