[QUOTE="GrannySueSnaps, post: 1591800, member: 328623"] @SlyDude So in reality we really have no control over our personal information that is stored electronically. Even setting strong passwords doesn't always protect us. Basically we go backwards to keeping everything on paper which is what we are trying to get away from. Other than my financial information I wouldn't have anything that would concern me if someone hacked my network and gained access. What about something such as certain Members Forum which is only open to select people. Could someone illegally gain access to it and use information from there to sue you over something you said? Which goes back to "nothing we say or do can be presumed to be held private". There are both State and Local Law Enforcement who troll websites for "chatter" relating to terrorist and child pornography which I have no problem with. But in the process of doing so they may also monitor someone not involved in either of those. Are they violating our privacy? There really is no expectation that anything in electronic format can be held private. [/QUOTE]
