Good afternoon from Wisconsin.
I can tell you there is nothing wrong with being extra cautious about where you go online today! While Meta and Google collect and sell data IT‘S NOTHING compared to the info the Credit Reporting Agencies gather and sell to Anybody.
Being in the collection business the 21 years prior to retirement we didn’t need to buy from FB (now Meta) or Google or anyone else. Hook me up with Experian, TransUnion or any of the others and within 30 minutes I’ll know enough about you to own everything thing you have in 90 days. There were times when searching for the current address for Tom Dick Harry and he used a credit card we would have that info within 30 minutes of where the card was used and what for. You give a collector accurate location data and a good collector will have a current address minutes later
Meta and Google are minor league players in data collecting and the biggest of course is our Government who also sells the data they collect
Yes this forum has been slow on/off all week
