I closed my FB account. It was already getting too weird.
Another interesting development is All the stores issuing cards that give you discounts. They all have them:CVS, Office Depot, etc. They swipe your card every time you make a purchase and allegedly give you discounts, BUT they also make a record of everything YOU BUY!
Oh, yeah...we’re being tracked daily everywhere we go. Spooky!
That’s done most of the time for reasonable marketing purposes.
What about the operations that collect blood from donors. Many of the blood donors are good people, conservatives who want to reach out as Christians to help all. Their personal data, indexed by mandatory SSN collection, into databases of medical institutions. For all we know they maybe selling or providing info to insurance companies and using data, DNA data maybe too, unknowiingly against us.
I stopped giving blood because they refused to let me have a photocopy of the documents they made me sign. What other place in our world gets away with denying us copies of what we are required to sign? What is buried in these secretive one-sided agreements.
Any freeper here have a copy? Can you cross-out the personal data and scan to post and share?
All the grocery stores also give you some big discounts on food, if you use your card...............
Pay with cash or money order, never use your real name when you sign up for anything on the internet. I could go on an on. If you want to remain anonymous online, it’s not that hard to do. Always use a proxy too.
So sign up with a bogus name, just like ACORN voter registration. Personally I don't do business with anybody that requires me to carry their plastic for a "sale price." Got enough stuff in my pockets without their crap.
Me too, last year. And I would never support that movie either, celebrating how they're tracking us (you know, without coming out and saying it, of course).
