As Rich states -- by the mere fact that you use the internet your whereabouts, sites visited, comments made, and profiles of your habits are being made and more ! If you are that paranoid of information tracking, I would HIGHLY suggest that you NEVER use Google to search anything, Never purchase from Amazon … in fact, you should turn off your computer & phone immediately …. because the reality is -- your being tracked ! for the more progressive -- it has a positive implication as well ….. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_of_things

Virtually every article on internet privacy encourages people to customize their privacy settings to suit their own preferences. Your position seems to be that since many modern technologies reveal lots of info user, that users should just give up on everything and share all. Mine is that privacy has value; people should only give it up when they get something they want in return. |

Totally Agree
Thus my "Privacy" settings are set where they are on my phone. Doesn't stop App's Like Waze, Google Maps, Amazon, etc. but you can dial it down a bit ![]() My "having a good laugh" is about those who think you can remain totally anonymous and still utilize the internet.
