1984 and all that!!
« on: October 01, 2018, 09:57:37 AM »

Hi all,

I am more than a little concerned about misuse of power and how our data is treated.  I read this, this morning, and it sent a shiver down my spine.  What next, I ask?  Fair enough an effective police force and our protection are very important, BUT, how do we know all this information will be used for our benefit, and not against us. 

Any thoughts??

I haven't read the Link yet but Big Brother is Watching You often springs to mind  ::)

If we don't put our information out there on social media, there's not a lot that can happen until a Company sells our information.  That should be banned.  It generates a lot of cold calling to us  >:( despite Telephone Preference Service Registration.
