[QUOTE="gennepher, post: 2390281, member: 238814"] I didn’t come to the Internet [USER=140811]@urbanracer[/USER] and owning my own netbook until late in life, a decade ago when I was a cantankerous batty old lady. I never trusted the internet because I did have a ‘play’ on a friend’s computer in 1990’s and I could see all the future pitfalls for the ‘ordinary’ computer user. My friend told me don’t be silly and that I was over the top in what I was suggesting it could lead to. I learnt, once I had my own netbook, a decade ago (to my embarrassment), that once something is on google, it remains online forever. I can still find it. Just two names put into google and it will still come up. It is nothing serious. And I can laugh about it now, although I was mortified at the time. But it was a lesson, on what I say online, and the search engines I use (and how I use them) and a lot lot more. But this does not mean I am silent online. I am deaf, and online is necessary and great for me for communication. So, I need online. My experience is that even private messages or Twitter DM’s etc are not private, and it appears the Twitter DM’s were either hacked or something by advertising people because an advert would arrive in our inboxes as we finished our DM conversations, based on what we were taking about. My friend and I then actively tested it, and then reported it to Twitter at that time. And it stopped. [/QUOTE]
