I’m not naive enough to pretend like we’re amazing or anything but none of my information posted on the internet is very useful. With that being said, please for the love of god, don’t over share your life on the internet you never know who’s looking.

@agentsbigassforehead 5 ай бұрын

I mean, at face value it’s not a bad point. If you weren’t up to something nefarious your search and watch history shouldn’t be of much concern to you if it came to light. But at the same time, privacy is important. For example, you wouldn’t want someone just snooping around your home looking for stuff, whether it be illegal material or not, because that’s YOUR stuff. This whole story is comparable to the police raiding your home because somebody who was selling drugs in the area happened to walk by your property 3 days before being caught.

Similar thing happened in 2015 to many motel 6 customers from a certain time period. The Washington state attorney general sued Motel 6 because they gave TSA information about innocent guests, such as me and my mom. She ended up getting $100 USD out of it. But think about that, a hotel gave border officials all personal information of guests who stayed at a specific hotel during a specific time period and most were innocent!
