[quote=bearishgurl]WOW, it looks like we have overarching gubment at all levels and/or who have the (dangerous) “power of subpoena” without any arrests already made.
Just, wow.
Now I know why I don’t use the Chrome browser, don’t engage in social networking, opted out of all e-mail lists, set my browsers and shopping lists to “private,” heavily control online “cookies,” opted out of junk snail mail, keep my nos updated on the “Do Not Call” registry and have always had an unlisted phone number.
What happened? Did Fourth Amendment rights fly out the window?
I don’t have any Big Brothers, don’t need any and don’t want any … for good reason.[/quote]
You are doing all the right things but to be very safe from the evil brother, you have to go one step further. If you do not use the internet, there is no way they can track you. no way at all. Then go further and do not use USPS or make telephone calls.
But seriously, the ultimate evil one is ‘you’. You expect to use the google services for free, you want to go shop to get lower prices in exchange for your shopping information and then turn around to complain about it.
How do you think these services come for free? And why don’t you want to pay for it?
