  6. Use a VPN, search with Duck Duck Go, and don't give them any data you don't want them to have. If you don't close your door, don't bitch when the racoons raid your kitchen.

  15.  @antihypocrisy8978  Before Facebook, they used Myspace. Before Myspace, they used bulletin boards. Before the internet existed, they printed pamphlets. Don't blame the media for the message, it has been around longer than the media.
