PRIVACY in PERIL

I want to write some ROUGH notes about privacy.

• I was followed by the Ireland cops (THEY GO AROUND BEING SUSPICIOUS).
• As they were trailing me around they could look up my real name & address via their traffic computer and they would see that the paperwork was in order and that I've never been in trouble
• of course they could look me up online too using my real name... and Irish cops these days are not nice, they are like goblins, many of them
• Now what do these dipshits plan to do with that stuff they find about you online ? Grow even MORE SUSPICIOUS ?
• They'd see your social media stuff, they'd also see if your name was dragged through the papers
• Luckily I've never been in trouble
• I grew up before all the 'surveillance.'
• The web can be an unfriendly place.

I GOT ON LINE 24 YEARS AGO WITH a DIALUP MODEM ! NOW us OLD-TIMERS HAVE BEEN AROUND THE BLOCK.

I WOULD LIKE TO THINK WE REJECT THE MODERN WEB AND CLICK-BAIT. we WON'T DOWNLOAD PHONE APPS, WE HAD ALL THAT ON OUR DESKTOPS IN THE nineties. It's a GIMMICK.

WE WOULD KNOW TO KEEP OFF social NETWORKS.

THEY ARE ONLY FOR NEWBIES.

I have the advantage that I have been around for years.

• WHAT ABOUT THE BORN-YESTERDAY BRIGADE ?

The worst people are being empowered by the combined all-in-one smartphone/videocam/twitter.

• I don’t like the idea of folks trying to find my stuff online
• because there’s a lot of goblins out there.
• plotting our downfall
• Also, average joes have ridiculously common names: 'John Murphy' type names which gives them anonymity.
• My real name is rare so I would be easy to lookup
• only one other person on the internet has it.

• an edgy post you wrote will just be ammunition for these goblins.

• OR.... IS THIS PAGE THE WORK OF A MADMAN ? yew decide.
