Everything is always floating around somewhere in cyberspace. I don't have anything financial on my computer. They always tell folks to print out everything, anyway, for back- up protection. So I just have them mail my statements.

You do not use online banking? How about doing your taxes online?

From your link:

"" paper titled “Self Censorship on Facebook” written by Sauvik Das from Carnegie Mellon University and Adam Kramer from Facebook... shows that everything you type in Facebook’s post text box is being recorded and stored regardless of whether you post it or not.""

Everything you ever type in FACEBOOK'S POST TEXT BOX is being recorded and stored.

That's NOT what the paper was about or said. This is a copy of it's total conclusion and it doesn't say ANYTHING about Facebook saving what you type before you post it:

"Conclusion:

We studied the last-minute self-censorship habits of 3.9 million English speaking Facebook users, and found that a large majority (71%) self-censored content at least once. Decisions to self-censor appeared to be driven by two principles: people censor more when their audience is harder to define, and people censor more when the relevance of the communication“space” is narrower. In other words, while posts directed at vague audiences (e.g., status updates) are censored more, so are posts directed at specifically defined targets (e.g., group posts), because it is easier to doubt the relevance of content directed at these focused audiences.

We also uncovered the relationships between various user-specific factors and the frequency of self-censorship on Facebook. Indeed, as the first study examining self- censorship on Facebook at this scale, we directly supported some prior findings—for example, that males and people with more boundaries to regulate “self-censor” more — while showing findings from other work to be less consistent—for example, that people who exercise more control over their audience with audience selection tools self- censor less. Through this work, we have arrived at a better understanding of how and where self-censorship manifests on social media; next, we will need to better understand what and why. "

You have the right to remain silent on the keyboard.

If you give up that right anything you type can and will be used against you in the court of public opinion.

You have the right to defend yourself.

If you do not have a good defense the like-minded will provide one for you.

If you understand these rights type away.
