Only Microsoft and Windows 10?

Surely not.

Who else is watching you?

Watch this...

be vigilant...

Yes VideoTrack, its much more than just MS. The scary thing is you cant be vigilant, because you simply dont know who and how you are being watched. This is not " conspiracy junkie over imagination", it's fact.

Even if you never go on line, and never own a phone, it's still true.

BTW I read Win 10 privacy statement - it should be called WIn 10 publicize your data statement, it has NOTHING to do with privacy. The language is deliberately vague and interpretable.

Nice info ZeroZero. I walked into WalMart with my smartphone last week and my grocery list app produced a pop up that said, "Hey, why don't you pick up some of the things on your list since you are in Walmart." Freaky stuff.

Your phone logged into their network and they have it set up to send a message on logon. Simple. That doesn't mean they are watching YOU. They send a message to every new login. You, her, him, them, us.....


I am using the new 1040XTRAEZ form this year. It has just 2 lines.

1. How much did you make in 2023?
2. Send it to us.

If anyone would like to escape all of this watching and tracking, move into the mountains, hunt for your own food, build fires to keep warm and put it all behind you.

JMHO! laugh

They'd even send one to me .. if I logged into their network. I don't automatically log on to any network that's available. Some people do.

Many people do actually.
Not sure if many noticed but cable companies are making a public WIFI labeled with the cable company name (IE xfinitywifi) available if you use their internet.
It's open and uses the equipment in your home .. I don't like the sounds of that.
Another reason I have my own router for my network...

Amen, brotha! And find a place tp park your horse and buggy.

Too many people say too many things they don't really know about. Nobody is watching YOU. The infrawebz tracks HABITS. Nobody knows it's Joe going to Home Depot's web page, just that some computer went there and then they send you ads that relate to home improvement. Nobody can see that Bob Jones of 17235 Maple Street in Anytown USA is doing something. "Tracking" has become a buzzword. And if it bothers you, do like Mike said. Get rid of your cell phone, never go on the internet again. And to boot, don't drive anywhere because you might see a billboard with an ad on it. And shut off that TV. They have commercials. All those little ads on your screen are, really, are commercials. If you don't want to see them, use Chrome with AdBlock and you will see an empty spot on your screen where an ad would be withough AdBlock.

Can anybody here honestly say that there has not been an instance or two where that ad they suddenly saw was actually something of interest? Everybody relax and stop feeling offended because technology is what it is.

PS. If anybody wants to see my browsing history, I will send it to you.

One of my favorite 'browser' sayings is "At least I can type 'a n a l' into the URL bar and Google Analytics is all that pops up from my history.

Well, that and to call that one browser Internet Exploder ..
