Legally I te...Yes, you have put yourself out there. Legally I tend to trust laws to protect me from getting in trouble or even from fraud, even though I know cyber criminals can be pretty ruthless. But on a personal level I do try to exercise a certain level of reserve. There are certain topics I love to discuss, but if it feels too personal I save it for private forums. It's unfortunate in a way, because I miss real down-to-earth blogs where people just blogged about their lives without trying to get hits. <br /><br />When I see the ads come up in email or FB, I know that some robot has been tracking my emails and what I search for. Yes, it kind of bothers me that FB knows what I do on Google, for example. All that exchanging of information. And I don't like my information being sold...but it doesn't make me paranoid.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15283395756742923658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2949422246633548404.post-48362355585889671472015-03-05T22:48:42.064+03:002015-03-05T22:48:42.064+03:00Oh, that's my worst fear, especially with text...Oh, that's my worst fear, especially with text messaging!

I don...I intended to say that I feel as you do. I don't want to hide on the internet any more than I want to hide in real life.<br /><br />EVEN THOUGH I have had that dreadful, painful and humiliating experience with mean-spirited strangers on my blog.<br /><br />I've found the inter-connectivity of FB to be helpful, actually. I had wanted to buy a pair of shoes for Monnie, but lost the site. It was great to see them pop up on FB. I've found other good connections on my side bar that way, too. It's not like some person is watching me shop, after all - its' a computer.

Just one more time I'm really glad that I live a good, clean life! Ha!Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12623179886908222942noreply@blogger.com
