Second Bug Report
-
Facebook symbol "f" on page, signifying click to go to Windy Fb page, but serves as Fb's way to track activity of everyone who visits Windy whether they click f or not: no option is given to block. Block it and please stop using Facebook -- it fights for its right to sell ads to human trafficking networks that use that info to target victims.

Hi moderators.
No reply to this.
I don't use Fb at all because of its criminal activity. Please do not allow it to track your subscribers. It has an especial interest in persons interested in travel, and I'm sure if your son or daughter were imprisoned, tortured, raped or killed by its network you would stop allowing the tracking. Please don't throw us to the wolves.

Here is a screenshot to illustrate Fb tracking us to sell ads, including to organizations involved in human trafficking. Some slaves escaped and sued Fb in Texas because thye were imprisosned answering Fb ads by slavers. The Texas Supreme Court heard the request by Fb to dismiss the suit on the basis that it is exempt from liability for the content of its ads, and the Supreme Court ruled that Fb and social media (including Windy) are not exempt from liability for content involving commercial activity and denied the request (Fb stock subsequently lost most of its value).

Here are some more screenshots to illustrate Windy's human trafficking bug.
First, the Windy privacy policy:
Please note that it says it is found to "be in full accordance with all applicable legislation, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) by the European Union."
Next is Google's snippet on GDPR
which anoints itself "the strongest privacy and security law in the world".
Third, a screenshot from GDPR showing that it is also a part of Fb's f link that makes it a part of human trafficking:
It is clear that GDPR is not protecting us from human traffickers that pay Facebook to show their ads to pirates that Fb's algorithm says are interested in "their exciting travel opportunities".
Please stop your involvement.
Thanks,

Whats the point of having a link to report bugs where moderators do not reply?

Hi @kparcell we respect every opinion, however I don't find anything related to bugs in Windy. I consider this as your opinion about Facebook, however I really don't know how to help you with this, since we don't have any info or reasons to change this share functionality.

It's not an opinion about Facebook. It's a fact about Windy allowing all the internet activity of all users to be tracked and sold to criminal organizations, despite being given the information.
-
Why in the world would anyone want the respect of anyone who respects every opinion?
What I want is to be able to use the service I've paid for without being unnecessarily tracked by social media for their purpose of using my personal information to sell ads to criminals seeking my property and freedom.
What anyone with the most basic understanding of software design can do is replace the tracking links on their own site that are provided by social media with their own links to their same social media pages.
Remove Facebook's "f" from all your webpages and replace is with: "Windy's link to its Facebook page", or the equivalent. And then do the same with all the rest of the "free" links to "free" social media.
And finally, in parting, I'd like to give you a gift of my legal experience, in addition to the gift of my 30 years as a software designer and engineer: Check with your legal department to see if they know about the liability you open yourself to now if you do not do this, now that this correct information has been placed free in the public domain in your community. Ciao.
