    So true. The more I work with all these services and social networks the fewer of them I have. More to the point, I have bunch of devices around my home which are IoT and similar but almost none have access to internet, printer included. Funny thing is, my friends keep asking why am I slowly removing my presence from all of tech even though I am on forefront of it… but when I go and explain how each search can be exploited and abused they laugh and say naaah that will never happen or “I don’t have anything to hide”… and it keeps happening and privacy keeps leaking.

      Some people have a hard time imagining bad outcomes or “thinking like a bad guy”. I guess that’s why infosec people are needed lol.
