Here Is Help in Getting Off The Grid to Increase Your Privacy
Most everyone has experienced it. You go to some websites to research product price and availability. But it isn’t long before you start receiving emails, strangely about the kinds of products you’ve researched. It’s creepy. But we all have read about the times when Facebook allowed Cambridge Analytica buy our online profiles to influence us and our voting behavior. Then there is the plethora of trolling disinformation flushing through X (formerly Twitter). Welcome to the Surveillance Society. As Don Henley sings, “you can check-out, but you can never leave.”
There’ is no escaping the intrusiveness of the ciber aggressiveness, but we can take a number of steps that considerably reduce the information about us being sold and passed around on the internet. It’s not that we are involved in criminal and illegal things. We just want to live with our doors locked and the video cameras watching over our digital yards. And we don’t want the tour busses regularly stopping by our neighborhoods. How do we achieve privacy for our information but still make our way around the world on the internet?
It is possible but it takes some diligence. That is the purpose of this relatively simple website. The article the link below takes you to another page that has a few general articles to get you started. Along the way, I’ll provide what I think are helpful lists of things we can do to foster our privacy. I’m no security specialist but I’ll try to put before you what I feel is smart advice advice I’ve found by the experts.
When I'm online, you can use this “Chative” tool that you see appearing on the side of this website. When I am away from the computer, I'll immediately be notified you've written and I'll respond to your message as soon as I'm able.
When you think of it, it's a little like texting. It works on a website page such as this one. There's more on this Chative chat feature here . I think you'll find it more dynamic than just email or plain texting. Look to your lower right of this page and click on the purple circle with my picture on it. It opens the little chat window. Enter your message and click the paper airplane symbol to send it. Thanks for stopping by this website. I hope this material is helpful for your purposes.
