I haven't done anything illegal, either ... that I'm aware of. lol    Woman LOL

 

I still don't like that they sell what they know about us, even if it's a little boring.

Google daily.  It is my encyclopedia!

 

I have nothing to hid and lead a very "boring" life but I don't like the idea of everything I do being tracked, it's just wrong.

It depends on what it is and how bad I need or want to know.

I like knowing the answer. Googling is easy.

 

Having investigated fraud for 20 years, I know people have to be cautious.

 

Be sure to rely on reputable sites for answers/information. A lot of the search results will be bogus and start tracking, scams, spam info, etc.

 

If you click on unknown sites be sure to clear your cookies, history, and cache afterwards. It's not a safety guarantee but can help. 

 

Google, Facebook, etc etc, skew responses to how you usually search. For example, if you are a far right thinker and that's what you've searched in the past, it'll give you more far right responses rather than neutral facts and data.

Google can be useful.  Pretty sure cameras have tracked my driving, stores know foods I buy and some busy elf somewhere knows my bra size.  After a while, who cares?  Then there is messaging on the phone.....

I love looking up things! Makes my day.  I wish I knew how to use different forms of AI and search engines. 

 

My uncle was at the liberation of a concentration camp and my neice did some sort of search and came up with all the battles, engagements, etc that he must have been in.
