I've been telling you for years now; there is no way that Facebook (i.e. Fleecebook) and Google and you cell phone server can make the kind of money that they do unless they mine your dutifully supplied private information AND sell it! You are the product! And you supply yourself so freely for just a smidgen of high tech and convenience. Amazing that society is being raped, and they barely bat an eye!
Polls have revealed that people are concerned about privacy and losing their identity, at least in California. It is kind of being concerned about whether the cows will come home, after the barn door is open. The laws regarding our safety have not yet been totally enacted and therefore the perpetrators will make as much money as they can by raping the public's private information until then. The only safe way to proceed is to opt out of online social networking and smart(?) phones until they are safe.

12 Step Program Of Recovery For Web Addicts
1) I will have a cup of coffee in the morning and read my PAPER newspaper like I used to, before the Web.
2) I will eat breakfast with a knife and fork and not with one hand typing.
3) I will get dressed before noon.
4) I will make an attempt to clean the house, wash clothes, and plan dinner before even thinking of the Web.
5) I will sit down and write a letter to those unfortunate few friends and family that are Web-deprived.
6) I will call someone on the phone who I cannot contact via the Web.
7) I will read a book... if I still remember how.
8) I will listen to those around me about their needs and stop telling them to turn the TV down so I can hear the music on the Web.
9) I will not be tempted during TV commercials to check for email.
10) I will try and get out of the house at least once a week, if it is necessary or not.
11) I will remember that my bank is not forgiving if I forget to balance my checkbook because I was too busy on the Web.
12) Last, but not least, I will remember that I must go to bed sometime... and the Web will always be there tomorrow!
