Re: Online privacy?

Not a whole lot you can do anymore. If people want your information it's not all that difficult to get.

As far as smartphone apps, it is pretty crazy how much info they pull. You can check out most popular wallpaper apps...or apps of any kind for that matter, and if you check their permissions it'll include your location, your contacts info, you call logs, all kinds of stuff. I always have my location stuff turned off and I never dl apps that pull unnecessary info.

I don't mess with a lot of social media, even though everyone always wonders why I don't. I just never cared to attach my name to personal stuff that's out there for anyone to see. I guess it is what it is...most people are unaware of it anyway.
