Default Amazon and you!

A fascinating watch:-
https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episod...-know-about-us
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!

Your post proves how good a hold the BBC have on you.

Before I'm allowed to read anything on that lead you gave I have to submit my computer to them.---


Well I didn't and they can stick their news where the sun don't shine as far as I'm concerned.--

You are right, it is a bit scary how much monitoring is done of law abiding citizens and yet criminals still walk free.

I doubt they know much about me. I try not to use companies that don't pay their fare share of taxes.
