Online companies now own your identity!
Every website you visit, every app that sends or receives data, everyone you email and many that you message.
Make online identities generic. Decide on what is necessary to online activity and tailor it to a single GENERIC identity. Repeat behaviors that are only online activities. Take the 'personality' out of online activity. Rely on local economies.
There is basically no security to your life or activities as they are recorded on data streams. DON'T LIVE ON THE NET! I have a hard wired home phone. Always have. Force companies and the government to use the FISA Court. This is outrageous.
