Maybe Republican voters a little suspicious their responses will be passed along to IRS through the data mining that is rampant. The girls who came into our neighborhood to door-to -door campaign for Democrat state office holders skipped past us , even though I was in my front yard. “They know where you live.”
That is possible
We use caller ID to scan before answering. We do get fooled when callers are using local landlines. Otherwise, even though we run two businesses, one of them local, we assume a real caller will leave a message. If we are fooled into answering, we hang up as soon as it’s clear who is calling.
As for knowing where we live, I am sure they do. To that end, we are not on social media, although we really had to discuss that option several times before deciding there was more loss of privacy downside than client gain upside.
We do not rate Netflix views. If we want to recommend something, we do it in a private email.
We try to not tag our emails, especially to those w/a gmail account,with any information. We will use a bland subject line and a link, only.
We do review a very few and exceptional Kindle reads. Maybe 4-5 a year, total, and we try to stick to crit of the writing.
On our main computer, I use Do Not Track Me and Better Privacy. I suppress pop-ups except for things like printing shipping labels, where it aborts the process. I see no ads, except on my ISP’s web mail, where I seem to have no choice. It turns out not to be the ISP, but their partner, Yahoo. So, even though I am on an email list that goes through Yahoo, I have cancelled my Yahoo account.
I am rural, so there are no doorknockers. We stopped donating at all to political campaigns after 2012. “Fool me once...” sort of thing. Also, it became very clear that huge money flows to candidates who are already wealthy on their own. They can fund their own campaigns, since they all seem to favor taxing/regulating me excessively once elected. I really hated the out-of-state campaigns that solicited my donations. My representative gets most of his funding from out of state and never has voted in my interest, let alone responded realistically, sans boiler plate, to my concerns.
They may know where you live, but you can starve them of a lot of other information.
