Re: Privacy Risks explained for consumers
Okay, I understand all this. What I don't understand is what added risks come to us through appropriate use of minutus, via whatever platform.
This article gives excellent reasons for not doing a whole lot of things that I will continue doing, including use Facebook, use credit cards, read ads that interest me, have an email account, etc.
To me the risk of unwanted homeopathy ads is one I can live with, and if I'm going to be arrested for using remedies, well, the jig Is already up!
But anyway, I will let it go. I look forward with interest to see what everyone comes up with!
