Facebook and Google+ Alternative: OnlyMeWorld Founder clears up misconceptions about “Privacy” and “Cyber Crime”

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Honolulu, Hawaii, United States of America (Free-Press-Release.com) October 2, 2011 -- OnlyMeWorld -- Everyone from journalists to students, blogosphere to wall street, hackers to homemakers, and now even Washington DC lawmakers, are talking about a wide range of issues involving market share, social media, marketing, and much more!

The two most important issues everyone is talking about are “Privacy” and “Cyber Crime,” said Carlson Yamamoto, the founder and president of OnlyMeWorld. “There is a general misconception though about these issues”

Byron Acohido, USA Today, recently reported that Chris Calabrese, legal counsel for the American Civil Liberties Union was quoted saying that the latest Facebook changes touch a privacy nerve, “There’s a loss of user control here, combined with the permanent nature of the information, it means there is a lack of the ability for consumers to control and protect their online reputations.”

“I think that we all know whatever you put on the web today is no longer private” says, Carlson Yamamoto. “The problem people have is when information is collected about them unknowingly.”

Carlson Yamamoto gives an example: "When you go into a department store, you know that the store's security camera and staff are watching you. You fill out credit card applications, surveys, and socialize. This is all done knowingly and voluntarily. Once you leave the store though, does the store have a right to continue to watch, analyze, and track you without your permission? This is what Facebook, Google+, and many other social networking sites today are doing, which is not only an invasions of ones privacy, it’s a crime!"

Facebook, Google+, and most social networking sites today offer numerous privacy controls that somewhat protect users' privacy. When asked do these numerous privacy controls protect users from Cyber Crime, Big Brother Abuses, and Profiling? Carlson Yamamoto emphatically answers, “No!”

"Privacy controls only protect users profiles from being viewed by the general public, but do not stop hackers, companies, and governments from viewing and abusing your personal & financial life," explains Carlson Yamamoto.

Regardless of what sites today promise regarding security, any site can be hacked. (Some examples would be: governments, banks, and law enforcement agencies who all have "so called" state of art security systems) Social networking sites such as Facebook and Google+ are open-door gold mines for cyber criminals.

Hackers, companies and governments today have developed Facial Recognition Software, Data Mining, and Web Tracking, And, the information that users give both “Voluntarily” and “Involuntarily” to social networking sites such as Facebook and Google+ can be used for both good and bad purposes. "If used in a positive way, perhaps it could occasionally help law enforcement agencies throughout the world combat crime, or help end poverty and disease, or even promote socioeconomic equality. If used in a negative way, there will only be the haves and have-nots, the rich and the poor, all automatically profiled according to individual demographics," concludes Carlson Yamamoto.

The obvious solution to address these problems involving privacy, anonymity and cyber crime is simple; use no real names, and do not store people's email addresses.

OnlyMeWorld offers a social networking platform similar in function to Facebook, Google+, yet it differs in its approach to Privacy Rights, Anonymity, and Protection from Cyber Crime. At OnlyMeWorld, people are able to participate with absolute privacy and anonymity. OnlyMeWorld requires no real names or email addresses. It uses no web tracking, no facial recognition software, and no data mining.

OnlyMeWorld is the only safe alternative to Facebook, Google+, and other social networking sites.

Carlson Yamamoto is the Founder & President of OnlyMeWorld, Entrepreneur, and White Collar & Cyber Crime Consultant.
