Can my ISP see my Facebook messages?
“Can” is probably technically true, because all your Facebook messages are just packets passing through their network, along will billions of other packets for every possible type of traffic for every possible app or website or email.Would they? Most likely not. They would have to have specialized deep packet inspection equipment that allowed them to look inside each packet and then reconstruct the contents. This equipment is expensive and does not add a lot of value to the process of managing and engineering the network to give good performance.Your Facebook messages are just a few among millions (or billions) that your ISP knows are Facebook traffic. ISPs don’t generally have sufficient staff to snoop on people’s Facebook (or other) messages.If you are suspected of a crime and the court provides a subpoena to get ALL your traffic, only then will your ISP have to dig deeply to see exactly what messages you sent when and to whom.
What ISP do companies such as Facebook and big websites use?
They dont use small ISPs rather they do what ISPs do - own their own big banks of modems and pay communication network companies like Force 10Networks or ACN for access and support usually through t1 or t3 connections. These communication network companies sell both individual / small business access, and commercial sized high speed internet access - more hardware required. These connections carry huge amounts of data and are managed behind the scenes by in house IT specialists employed by the website/business -webmasters, hardware geeks, and database managers. They host user accounts under various profit based models like making or hoping to make money through: - paid access - mostly free with paid privileges - advertising - honor system (please donate here) - selling user info - combinations of all of the above Hope it helps...........
If someone hacks my Facebook account, will they be using my IP or there own IP?
Your IP address is something your ISP loans out to you temporarily. It is not permanent. It isn't connected in any way with anything else about you. Next week the IP address you have today could be being used by a neighbor. Or it could be someone in a different state. It all depends on the ISP.Let’s say your name is Fred Felps and your password on Facebook is fredFelps and it takes everyone who cares about 5 minutes to figure out your password. They will be accessing your account with the IP address their ISP gave them. If they are a neighbor there is a possibility they could have the IP address you had last week or last month. But Facebook doesn’t care. I am sure they have logs but they don’t look at them.Now, if your Facebook page has some nasty stuff about a prominent politician, law enforcement might call up Facebook and get the IP address that was connected when this was posted. They can then track this back to an ISP who, with the proper court order, will tell them what account had that IP address at that particular date and time. This is the only way you can take an IP address and get it connected back to an individual. Only it isn’t an individual, it is the account holder who is responsible for all that goes on using that account.
How Do Police Trace Facebook Accounts?
What goes into police tracking down the man behind the Facebook account? Do they track the persons phone where the content is being sent from? Do towers the phones sending messages through track where they're being sent from? Just curious to how that works. Also, not asking about how with computers. IP address, I know. I'm asking like phones not using WiFi
Is it a hassle for police to get access to your Facebook ip and then your Isp info?
Well, we can't just do it on a whim, if that's what you mean. “Hassle” has some negative connotations which don't apply to cops who don't mind putting in the effort required to do the job properly. Getting the information you mentioned would require some effort in terms of search warrants and such, and that pre-supposes that the legal requirements of a search warrant can be met. Alternatively, FB or your ISP might be willing to share their records about you without a warrant (they usually aren't willing) , but even then, obtaining and analyzing that information is not a trivial task. It takes some “hassle.” The first step would be finding a police officer who has more than the fuzziest notion of what an ip address is and what to do with it once it's obtained. In that respect, the first “hassle” would be finding a cop who even knows what to ask for.Lots of cops’ computer skills are so poor that they have to be taught how to attach a typed report to an email to send it to someone. Talk to them about using a Web browser other than Internet Explorer, and they think you're talking about a “whole different internet.” Because I know what an IP address is, and because I can make excel sheets that contain formulas to calculate things, I have the status of “computer hacker” among a lot of the deputies on my department. These guys are very intelligent people who are experts at many aspects of police work, but investigations involving computers is a specialized field of law enforcement which most cops aren't qualified to handle.
If I deactivate my Facebook can someone find my IP address?
I deleted my account and wanted to know can someone still find an IP address and where I live from Facebook us even if there is a message from me? Will they find out my name and address?
If we lose net neutrality would ISPs block Facebook and Netflix?
I believe it is unlikely that any ISP would outright block Facebook or Netflix. Rather, some ISP's would slow down or degrade the traffic from those services and try to negotiate for payments from those services. Some ISP's might refuse to accept any sort of payment and prioritize traffic from their own equivalent services or competing services they have business relationships with. This would have the effect of driving customers away from those services and to the ISP's preferred services.That said, it would become legal for ISP's block or degrade traffic from any service. That could result in different price tiers, discriminatory treatment under bandwidth caps, pay-for-performance fees, or outright blocking. It's hard to predict what would happen as there are many market pressures on an ISP that would limit their options due to consumer blow-back.The end result would put even more power into large, regional ISP's who have effective monopolies on broadband services. It's unclear what those companies would do with that added power.
