Perhaps it's just my imagination because I watch a lot of movies, but I always thought that nothing we do online is safe...; ▶ Reply to This

They just have bots that detect certain keywords like in "The Bourne Ultimatum".; ▶ Reply to This

I'm glad I left.

Take care.

What concerns me more is that they want to keep all the information in one, central database. Given our government's track record on losing laptops containing personal information and having security breaches in their I.T systems, this fact worries me enormously.

I have nothing to hide and don't really care if someone is tracking my every phone call and email, but I do care if that information gets into the hands of criminals, or worse, advertising agencies!!; ▶ Reply to This
