This just reinforces my ideas about the Big Brother society that we are becoming.

Google messaged me the other day to say that I needed to check my cloud storage or it would be wiped. To the best of my knowledge, I have never used "cloud storage"! I checked my google account and storage and there were all the photographs from a holiday in Corfu! I must have ticked or unticked a box at some time without realising and everything I photographed went to the Google cloud! Needless to say, I deleted them all but no doubt, there will be a hidden backup!

Even the all too helpful Alexa is spying on you, listening to you, along with your "smart" doorbell and security system.

One click and you are seen, heard and broadcasting to the world! vey scary in my opinion!

I'll beat you all to it!
