I’m a dumb blonde. Is there a download my data for dummies?

“https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/3024190?hl=en";

Go there. I think.

[CodeToad]

Think tracking cookies. More than a cookie.

Go there. I think.

For some reason, this reminds me of the story about how the Chinese government bills the family for the cost of the bullet when they execute someone.

Facebook knows nothing about me.

I have never used Facebook and see no reason to start now.

Facebook knows nothing about me.

Ordinary websites (like the news sites FReepers share with one another) often contain dozens of pieces of JavaScript and other objects provided by Facebook that try to track everyone. You are safe only to the extent that you use content blockers (like those I mentioned above), delete your browsing history frequently, etc.

Also log into Google and https://myactivity.google.com/delete-activity

That looks like it. Thanks.

I think this is how you can find it:

Google Location: My Account > Personal Info & Privacy > Control Your Content > Download or transfer your content

Then, in section labeled “Download your data,” click “Create Archive.” They will mail you a link to retrieve the ZIP archive file. It may take hours or days.

For me, the “delete-activity” link you provided redirects to: https://myactivity.google.com/myactivity

At “myactivity,” I can see everything I’ve done on Google. I delete all past data more than six months old.

Pictures are hung, people are hanged-just sayin’. I agree, there should be a class action lawsuit against Gulag.

[Retvet]

Again is there a good lawyer out there ready for a class action suit?

[LonePalm]

Oh but I do use every reputable blocker I can.

We won't discuss my other security efforts. I pay for the best. No half measures.

Time for God Emporer Trump to trust bust Silicon Valley.

Thanks — I stopped using it a while ago but still just in case it is a good idea.
