Over the past year have witnessed a couple of suicides of people charged with crimes, dv and financial, who suicided after the charges because it went all over the web, and is tied to them forever.

I beleive that this information should not be placed on the web until one is found guilty. It is not right that peole should suffer so from accusaions.

“Why do I need good luck? Will the gov’t stop paying my social security if I am a registered republican”?

We’re going to find out. People like John Brennan or Eric Holder would never do anything like that. /S

The weather and natural beauty of California are marvelous.

It’s the damn government that has screwed up the whole thing.

When Big Tech companies claim they don’t sell your information, they LIE.
Plus, when you give ANY personal info to these companies, certain of their employees/ moderators can see and use it for their own purposes, such as harassment of political opponents, without their supervisors necessarily knowing.
A few years ago I used a fake masculine sounding name to sign up on Twitter. (Who cares about blue checks? Not I.)

The fake-name guy immediately & to this day began getting texts on my phone from (perhaps also fake) horny women who claim to have found fake guy’s profile on Pornhub.
The texters always address fake guy by the fake name that I only used on Twitter. That’s how I know Twitter is the source.

I’ve no idea whether there is really a profile on Pornhub— The real me doesn’t want to know & the other guy doesn’t exist.

The texts always contain a clickable link but I never click it. I just delete & block the number of origin, but it’s a spoofed number, so I get more texts.

I googled my FR name too, and somebody in a LGBT chatroom was whinging about the “homophobes” on FR and mentioned me.
I felt honored.

“They show a list of people who are associated with you.” 

Those sites show “associates” of mine I’ve never heard of.

I signed up with Instant Checkmate— one of the better sites— to run backgrounds on potential employees.
Even they churn out reams of irrelevant nonsense— like names of hundreds of current sex offenders within miles of all the previous addresses of the person I was researching.
I wanted to know if my applicant had a criminal record. I didn’t care about his former neighbors.

I am descended from Indo-Aryans. If you have studied international history (probably not) you would have known that nomadic Aryans invaded India around 4500 years ago from somewhere in southern part of what is now Russia. With the strict caste system for marriages, the invaders tried their best to keep mixing with indigenous people.

kinda looking for a yes or a no on that one...

in ref to how the democrats could hurt you.

if you’re a white guy, they have many ways.

if you’re not, and are more of an indian type, they’d probably leave you alone for the most part.

Yes, look at a product on some internet merchant, and when going to another the product will be featured. At least this is annoying as you know you are being traced. And sites you purchase products from have to know you, including your shipping address. It seems odd that they would pass the info to a competitor! I wonder if using a VPN which would present the same IP address as thousands of other users wouldn’t confuse them?

Sorry, I don’t quite fit the American definition of a white or black or Hispanic. To me white construes European ancestry. I can claim to be a Caucasian person of non-European ancestry. I always mark “other” for race.

Count me in in the conservative class of Americans, where self reliance, and self responsibility and freedom of choice are considered a virtue.
