I actually use the internet and facebook for me. I only accept people that I know and trust to be my friend on social media. I only post work safe material or comments, minus political comments (those go either way). Language is safe and most importantly, if I have someone that I don't like on my social media due to language, etc, I unfollow them. I keep everything extremely safe and friendly. Anything else on the internet is just normal crap.

Now, since we are speaking openly about keeping our identities safe, it doesn't help CowboyMike if you're using an avatar pic that looks exactly like you, dude!!
Lol, I took this selfie during my last hemorrhoid removal procedure...

I had a guy who hated me enough to spend some serious time to sign me up for a bunch of crazy sites.. every thing from fetish sites, to social media fake profiles, to some white nationalist website, philipino sites, political activists type sites... I kept getting emails for the sites, figured I was spammed and my info sold again so just sent everything to junk mail... never thought nothing of it... until someone hit me up about the political sites like wtf?!? Needless to say, someone who doesn’t know me, searching my username that I use to use, or the effing email I used forever!!! Like since early 2000’s I had that email... asshole ruined it... search the email and all the craziness would show up in a search.. I wasn’t aware at that time you could hire out to have yourself scrubbed from the internet...

So whether we make the trail, or piss someone off, it’s just nice to know it’s happening and there’s shit we can do to fight it... some privacy would be nice lol without having a happy ending showing up somewhere down the road because of a craigslist ad 2006 Your Personal Data On The Internet
