I belong to Facebook but not in a manner that anyone will ever find me. I post nothing personal and my name there is fictitious. (Yes, I know, I'm supposed to use my real name but what are they going to do, shoot me?) I do use it to contact a few very special people and they are the only ones who know how to find me on any social media.
The idea of being constantly monitored, that every word I say is being mined frightens me to no end. Unlike Nazi Germany, people no longer have to report their neighbors -- we report ourselves. I wish we could convince our kids and grandkids just how dangerous social medias can be, not just for stolen identities but for stalkers and their ilk.
