It causes more hardships today in our society both young and old.
From what I been reading, EVERYONE'S personal info is out there on the dark net.
How safe do you feel you well be hacked any day now?

I feel safer knowing that EVERYONE’S personal info is out there since it lowers the odds that mine will be used.
I’m not at all concerned with being hacked. Those that can do such a thing have no interest in me and there is little I can do to stop them if they tried.
I’m more concerned with identity theft so I have done what I can to prevent it and if that fails, to notice it quickly.
Why can’t the govt stop the selling of data? Because we don’t have a law like the Europeans do. Because we have to balance restrictions by the govt against our freedom of speech and ability to conduct business. And because those who would abide by any law or restrictions are not the ones we need to worry about anyway.
