They send their bots and shills to the conservative sites and vlogs in order to downvote, post defamatory comments or dox the content provider.

FB/Twitter are not mandatory, but if you join them, they demand the right to dictate what you say. They try to destroy anyone who disagrees.

How powerful is that? These people are bullies.

Anyone can _say_ anything. There isn’t an app to see into people’s minds and hearts or to determine the quality of their soul. Yet.

There are services that will erase you from the internet.

‘There are services that will erase you from the internet.’

I wonder about that when my private search engine, Ixquick, started using Google to perform its searches.
I used facebook for a few days and then removed the damned thing. Called my sister and chewed her out for showing photos of her then young children. My old girlfriends are all grannies now and I have never felt so old. Lot of memories though.

I am happy to kick in a few bucks from my massive disability check, I’d just waste it on food anyway.

Worldwide censorship.

"It kind of lends perspective to what a public presence means. No, privacy is not always the way to go. But leaving it behind should be a matter of choice."

Agreed, it should be a matter of choice. In general, I think it is. Anyone can read Google/Apple/MS privacy policies. Most don't bother.

A very cursory search turned up ways to do it yourself or to confuse accounts that won’t delete and a complete paid service (Albine) that is about $130/year and will check every few months to keep you private. I imagine there are other paid services. Depends on how much time you have.

StartPage also is “enhanced by Google”, but doesn’t archive your searches.

I do use Google for short translations. It’s just faster, as the translate boxes simply appear at the top of the search.

Spokeo and the other sites that show location and relatives are the ones I’d eliminate first. Most people curious about someone aren’t so curious they’ll pay for extended search.

AdBlockPlus and the non-archived searches mean I don’t even see many ads when AdBlock is disabled, as some sites now require.

Media Matters IS fake news, they selectively redacted quotes by conservatives for years to spin something they said as being the opposite of a point. Taking things out of context.

Libtard despots and propagandists.

Thanks! I will check them out. Glad I asked, there is always someone smarter than me on FR.

Twitter has been a scam from day one.
