I heard or read somewhere that if you have a web cam on your computer that the government can turn it on and watch what you are doing!
And so can't companies. There's a huge paranoia about the gumment watching everyone (which, didn't they sell that to us as a good thing back in 2003 and
now we're complaining about it?) but
no one wants to complain about the companies! They're worse. They invade our privacy to
sell us things. And sure. There was a time when I got a Spanish Language cable TV ad that had Lucky Luke characters on it after looking it up or watching a cartoon or submitting fan art (I forget which). it was kinda cute and funny... but
very sinister in motive. Search engines and e-mail are checked for your results and someone is paid to
sell those to various shady internet companies to get you to click on links.
