  • Check out JoseMonkey’s recent TED talk about internet privacy and how easy it is for someone to find you on the Internet based even on a short video or an image. If it is that easy to find out where someone lives based on a picture and he mentions a lot of other clues people use to connect accounts from different social media, imagine what others can do.

    Now multiply the amount of accounts you have on various social media, the amount that you post on there, the amount of friends and friends of friends sharing, tagging or reposting your content and possibly your information and then compare it to the vast amount of people in the world who use the internet. Now consider the amount of scammers, spammers and other bad actors plus anyone who you did not intentionally upset but just makes it a hobby of exploiting these things and using or distributing that info. That doesn’t really include sites with public record lookups. They might not steal your identity, but if they have your info they can give/sell it to someone who potentially will.

    Online content is a different story. There is always the possibility, but there is no guarantee that they won’t report streaming pirated content unless you take measures such as a VPN. Even then, there still lies minimal risk.

    Also, being inconspicuous is comfortable, IMO.



  • Some android apps bypass this but don’t work 100 percent but sadly, they are the only safe option.

    By safe I also mean, the others you must root so you void certain updates from your carrier in many cases, you have to search the APK code and delete a line, or you have to install a certain entity which hinders your security in other ways.

    Shopping apps should have, and Amazon usually lets you email a copy of a receipt anyway. Don’t know about other shopping apps. Banks and other financial institutions you would just need to contact them for records etc, and I know it is a pain.

    Some browsers have settings to bypass if you are using a site that tries to stop a screenshot.




  • Well, that’s ‘cause you came here in the middle of the conversation all catawampus actin’ all ill-willie; if we start from the beginning, only then you can see that this response is just taradiddle. Soon, you will notice that I am using these highfalutin words to just Hornswoggle ya. Now, excuse me while I absquatulate.
