A Reco For Facebook, Twitter Users
FBI, Feds collect Facebook, social media data; Why are you surprised?
Amazingly, some people are surprised to learn that Government agencies use “social networking” sites (and other things we post online) to monitor us. This article is a “must read” for those of you who ‘tweet’, etc..
“The Federal Bureau of Investigation and Internal Revenue Service have training courses on gathering information on social networks, identifying relationships, chasing the bad guys and going undercover, according to documents obtained by the Electronic Frontier Foundation. The biggest surprise: Social networking users are surprised by any of this government activity.“

A Word To Faithful Friends Of Tech – for Everyone
This “Tech” D-I-Y Tips & Tricks, Advice and Answers website was launched in mid-2007. I have published six days a-week (over 950 articles ago now) pretty much without a break or respite. It is time for one.
For the next week to ten days, I will be here…

In my mind, anyway… Mentally, I am teleporting to a tropical paradise. Spring is here, and I have “the fever”!
I may put up some of my older posts again, or I might not. I will continue to answer reader mail/comments, as I always do. But I must step away and recharge my batteries, before my “blogger’s burnout” reaches “critical mass”.
I thank you for your patience and understanding.. and I remind you that all 974 previous articles are available for you to peruse (or, re-peruse) in the “Previous Tips & Answers” and keyword Search tools in the right-hand widget column.
Aloha.

• About Tech Paul
I am a Retired computer & network technician. I used to think the machines were pretty cool. Now I don’t.
They’re anything but.
I regularly posted how-to’s and tricks & tips and general computing advice here starting in 2007. (Use the Search tool to find answers. But be aware, many are rather dated.) Sometimes I answered (your) specific questions in an article if I believed the answer was generally helpful to “everyone”. All the writing you see was my own, typos and all. There always is/was an implied “IMHO” in what you see here.
Note: You are responsible for using this blog and its content. I am in no way liable for any losses caused by user error, viruses and/or other malware, hardware or software failure, or any other conceivable reason.
