Yes, They Really Are Watching You

You may see the new badge on top of my page.  It is for The Internet Defense League.  You can click on it to learn more. It is also a widget here at WordPress. And I have a new category “ACTIVISM”.

Basically, I do NOT believe that our Government has the right to spy on me or you – without our permission.  But again, they are doing it anyway.  Phone calls, E-mails, Cameras, Computers, our internet searches may be recorded – without our knowledge or permission. Now there have been some that have said no, I am not going to do this, and have left their jobs.  They talked to the media and are now being thrown in jail for TELLING THE TRUTH – that our data is our data.

The funny thing is, my husband and I have our own IT company.  We have gone to multiple businesses and private residences to fix many computers or flat screen tvs.  I can’t tell you how many times I have put a piece of tape over that camera on the laptop, or totally unplug the X-Box Connect – because IT WOULD AUTOMATICALLY TURN ON!

And the scary thing is that now the government is now OUTSOURCING Spying Technology- letting private companies spy with no legal ramifications and spying on ordinary Americans.

  1. SO glad I have an older laptop with no built-in camera. I started hearing about this only a month ago. Very, very scary.

    • I agree Susan. I hate that feeling of being watched – guess it was all those years of being stalked by abusers in my life.
