This is why any link we go to wants me to sign in to view it, I don’t.

It “ain’t for advertising” it is about this know all about your personal BS and selling that data to whom, we will probably never know.

Advertisers all ready know all they need to know about us to direct their advertising from our previous visits, purchases, returns and what we look at and read.

Credit card companies, who know your monthly credit rating want you to fill your income on most bill payments. Nope!

“This is why any link we go to wants me to sign in to view it, I don’t.”

I’m amazed that people order stuff, do banking, etc., on their cell phones. I refuse to even get email on mine. And we don’t do any social media (except FR — is that social media?) at ALL.

We have one PC dedicated to financial things — paying bills and shopping — and don’t ever do emailing or net surfing on it. Supposedly hackers invade a system through email most of the time. We get on and get off ASAP. Another PC is for email and surfing.

I figure there’s a way they can burrow in some way, but we try hard to be careful.

We’re looking at Consumer Cellular old-timey flip phones.
