GOOGLE and FACEBOOK OWN YOU

We never realized how intrusive GOOGLE was until our  GOOGLE TIMELINE popped up per chance.  We knew that the cellphone is constantly sharing one's location.  That's the price one pays to enjoy the features of cell service.  But how about GOOGLE showing where we have been when the phone was off, such as the places in Europe and Asia.

Of course, there is this blogger app.  It is great, easy to use, and we have dozens of blogs for which we do not pay anything.  As frequently told, "If you aren't paying for a service; YOU are the service."  We don't use FACEBOOK for that reason.  Instead we naively and freely give all that information to GOOGLE.

We aren't terrorists or fanatics.  No need to be paranoid, until of course, someone uses all that free information to cause to trouble. We are going to turn off a lot of that give-away.  The details are on our new PRIVACY page.
