<div class="MsoNormal">
One area significantly impacts by social media is
privacy. It used to be that what we did
in our private lives remained private unless we talked to someone about our
activities. Today, however with the
advent of Facebook, Instagram, Tumblr and Twitter, many find is easier and
easier to post tidbits about their daily lives that perhaps, should have
remained private. Bottom line, social
media is dangerous to privacy. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
While all this sharing is helping to create communities of
like-minded individuals, it is also destroying their expectation to
privacy. While Susan’s new bikini is
just the thing for the beach at St. Tropez, it may not be something her boss
needs to see. The same is true for
pictures posted on Facebook of friends drinking at a party. Once these images are online, they are online
forever and should circumstances change, say a spouse sues for <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-mandel-law-firm" target="_blank">child custody </a>or
a rival at work is seeking an edge over another employee, these images could
pose significant problems. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
One of the big dangers of posting personal information
online is that the internet is crawling with criminals who are just looking for
an opportunity to score. If we post when
we are leaving town or that we have inherited a bit of money, we make ourselves
vulnerable to exploitation. Criminals
are experts at trawling <a href="https://plus.google.com/+Mandellawfirm/about" target="_blank">social media</a> sites looking for information about
vacations, nights out, etc., and identifying an easy mark. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
What was once the wild west of personal information is
slowly beginning to see some regulation.
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is slowly beginning to enforce new
and established privacy policies on social media sites and using these to sue
the transgressors. It has even been able
to force transgressive sites to settle and have included agreement to allow the
FTC a tighter grip on a specific site’s policies. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
One of the most notable cases occurred in 2011 when the FTC
accused Facebook of lying to its users.
Facebook allegedly continually told its users that their personal
information would remain private, yet Facebook repeatedly allowed this same
personal information to be shared with the public. Facebook ended up settling this claim and
agreeing to a 20-year consent order.
This agreement mandates that Facebook must first have the consent of the
user before any personal information may be disclosed. What is interesting is that two years later,
the FTC accused Facebook of violating the 20-year consent agreement when it
proposed new privacy policies. FTC said
that Facebook’s intention to use members’ pictures and names in advertising
products included an automatic assumption that parents of teenage users on
Facebook agreed to this, although Facebook had no written confirmation of this
agreement. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
These types of victories and restrictions allowed the FTC also
to receive 20-year consent agreements from MySpace, Twitter and Google. In reality, though it is the states that are
leading the way in developing regulations and laws to protect people’s private
information. California, New Jersey,
Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Washington, Arkansas, Colorado, Maryland, Illinois,
and Michigan have all passed laws specifically restricting an employer’s access
to their employee’s social media sites.
These are all steps in the right direction in controlling access to
private information on social media.</div>

Ubers exponential growth has not been without problems. After amazing
advances throughout the United States and Europe, they have hit a
roadblock in Florida. Uber is now fighting it out with Miami and Tampa,
where they are currently illegal. Understand it is against the law to
ride in an uber car in Tampa. It's currently against the law for an uber
car to be dispatched in under an hour.<br />
<br />
Tampa and Miami classify ride-share as a limousine company. The rules
are a $50 minimum, and 1 hour advance notification. Why? This rule is to
protect taxi ccompanies and drivers, who've invested in medallions.
Travis Kalanick says these rules are crazy. he says he is spending too
much time fighting the officials in Florida. he says he would rather be
at the Miami Shore Club. that is a swanky boutique hotel in South Beach.
google it and see if you have the money to stay there. <br />
<br />
As much as people say they like uber, they are contributing to the
demise of a regulated industry that serves the general public. When the
local Tampa news caster asked the Hillsborough County Commissioner if it
was still legal for her to use uber, he tried to be polite about it. I
am NOT polite about it. Your made up fake ass should be thrown in jail
miss channel 8 news caster. sorry about mincing words.</div>

This is what happened to an Uber driver in Germany. I hope Hillsborough
County can shut Uber down to avoid potential violence. ..<br />
<br />
The request for a cease-and-desist order, which names 53 drivers in
addition to the company, says Uber behaves like a taxi service but
operates outside of the PTC's legal purview.<br />
<br />
"They have to agree to operate by the rules and regulations that we put
in place," said PTC chairman Victor Crist. He said that includes
commercial liability and personal injury insurance, vehicle safety
inspections, and Level 2 fingerprint background checks on their drivers.<br />
<br />
Ride-share companies Uber and Lyft have long quarreled with PTC
regulators over whether they must meet those and other requirements. The
companies, which use smartphone apps to connect riders with private
drivers, started operating in Tampa in April 2014. Almost immediately,
the PTC began issuing tickets, calling the services illegal.<br />
<br />
The cease and desist order does not mention Lyft. And Crist said Tuesday
that Uber could operate in Hillsborough County tomorrow if they met
legal requirements. "But they come into town and claim, 'we're not a
cab, we're not a limousine,' " said Crist, who also is a Hillsborough
County commissioner.<br />
<br />
This is not the first attempt by the PTC to close Uber down. The
commission voted in early February to pursue injunctive relief against
Uber and Lyft after both ride-share companies failed to comply with a
cease-and-desist letter.<br />
<br />
"Anyone providing for-hire transportation service to the public within
Hillsborough County … must comply with these regulations or be subject
to civil penalties and even criminal prosecution as a misdemeanor," Kyle
Cockream, the PTC's executive director, wrote in a memo issued last
December.<br />
<br />
Uber declined to comment Tuesday.<br />

Don't ride with Victorious52 if you use Uber. This gavone has been fired
by every cab company in Tampa for reasons they will not say (one could
only guess the horrible acts he committed). He is with Uber now. This
dumb shit has been a failure at everything he has ever done in life. He
now thinks he will find success with Uber. Life doesn't work that way. A

This blurb in the business section of the Tampa Times pretty much
confirms my worst fears. Uber has cracked the last vestige of protected
business that the taxi companies have. If that percentage is even close
st TIA, then the writing is on the wall. The authorities at the airport
are extending their middle finger at the cab companies and drivers. They
charge an outrageous fee for the right to serve them, force drivers to
follow stupid rules. Then, they allow an unlicensed and uninsured Uber
to operate at the airport. That is wrong and I swear to God we Will stop
it.</div>

Its about time they started using this excellent facility. On the south
side of Tampa is a long course pool called Bobby Hicks. The problem has
been in recent years, it just remains closed. Don't know why.<br />
<br />
<br />
Florida is the place where there is a demand for a pool. You have
fitness folks and your 26.2 folks. I will try to get there soon and
start regular exercise. You know I will stop about as soon as I start.<br />

Duncan Burton served 14 years for conspiracy to possess with intent to
distribute cocaine, according to court records and the U.S. Bureau of
Prisons. He was convicted by a jury in Houston and served time in
Beaumont, Louisiana and Georgia before being released in 2012, according
to the federal prison agency.<br />
<br />
Although sentenced originally to 18 years, he had earned nearly three
years of good conduct time and had about two years of jail time.<br />
<br />
Burton, 57, was arrested Wednesday and charged with one count of sexual
assault, a second-degree felony. If convicted, Burton faces a maximum
sentence of 20 years in prison. He remains in the Harris County Jail
without bail.<br />
<br />
Uber spokeswoman Debbee Hancock said Monday that Burton passed the
company's background checks. She could not immediately be reached
Tuesday to respond to the disclosure of Burton's drug conviction.<br />
<br />
Someone with a negotiated drug conviction on his or her record would not
be eligible for a city-issued permit, but could appeal and attempt to
receive one, said Lara Cottingham, deputy assistant director in the
city's Regulatory Affairs Department.osted

An Uber driver is accused of sexually assaulting a customer in Houston. Police say Duncan Eric Burton raped a passenger.<br />
<br />
According to the Houston Police Department, the victim, who was visiting
from out of town and out with a group of friends at a bar in the
Midtown area, was picked up by the driver.<br />
<br />
Police said she was too drunk to tell the driver where she was staying,
so he offered to take her to his home to sleep. That's when she alleges
he raped her.Would you get into a cab with this guy?<br />
<br />
UPDATE: this Uber driver was released in 2012 from Federal Prison on a
drug cconviction. After serving 14 years in Prison, he still cleared
tthe Uber background check<br />

I heard Ron Seaman was fired after a group of airport drivers went into
the office to complain. It seems the rules he implemented (that would
make us more efficient in the Uber era) were more then the guys could
stand. Face it, the taxi industry has received bad press in the last
year for dirty cars and poor service. We have lost accounts to Nancy,
and business to Uber. The airport is our last vestige of protection.
Zellow app was a good idea but the drivers wanted to go back to the old
way..everyone loses. ..Uber wins..Mark My words.</div>

may remember "Uncle Toby's HOT & ALOT" diner. It was home cooked
gourmet diner food. I used to eat there because I like that type of
food. Toby would pile it on and I was in my glory.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Toby was a retired Navy guy who always wanted to open a restaurant. He
found the vacant building three blocks down from United can, and just
around the corner from Yellow Cab. The location was ideal for many
industrial business were in the area and many lacked a chow hall. Toby
would pack them in for breakfast and lunch. The place did well for a
long time.<br />
<br />
Toby had a simple formula. Feed people decent portions without a high
price and they will come back. Repeat customers will make or break a
business. His claim to fame was meatloaf on Tuesdays. This photo of me
is eating his award winning meatloaf with mash potatoes, green beans,
and roll. Yum!</div>

His business did well over the years and Toby finally had a chance to
sell at a good profit. He went into the hurricane shutter business, the
last I heard. I lost touch with Toby and have not seen him in years.<br />
<br />
Others tried to make a go of the location without much success. In fact,
there were a couple of guys that tried to run it before Toby. They shut
down and the property laid fallow for many years. That is why I was so
excited to see Toby come along.<br />
<br />
Keep in mind there was business back then. I did work more hours because
the call count kept me interested. Now, a baloney sandwich is the order
of the day. </div>

<span style="font-weight: normal;">A Denver Colorado Uber driver has been arrested for burglary on the
house of a fare he dropped off at the airport. It seems the Uber driver
had found an angle for his life of crime, become an Uber driver. They
don't screen drivers and it gets you in close proximity to hot women,
and knowledge of people's whereabouts. This is scary folks. Uber drivers
are committing crime on a daily basis. Why do people think they are
safer? Because they are mostly American born?</span></h3>
