Technically the tactics have changed, it still could be considered a virus. Instead of crashing your pc they packet sniff or mirror your computer and everything you do on it. Mining your files byte by byte and a host of other stuff that can be done.SeilerBird said:I remember the good old days when the only thing a computer user had to worry about was a virus. Now no one even mentions them.

Never sit in front of your computer naked. You might just start getting ads for clothing optional campgrounds. Just saying. ;D
ziplock said:When planning a camping trip, I came across a campground that would have been a halfway point in our travels while looking at the Virginia Campground directory. I didn't read the ad, just the address.
I pulled up the website and realized it was a nudist campground. I never knew they had such stuff, Shoo.
I busted out laughing at the rules. One rule said that you must sit on your OWN towel. hahhahahaha
(Sit on your own towel whenever you are nude.)

No, we didn't go there. There are not enough towels in the world. hahhahaha
I forgot all about that place till I read this thread.
Now I'm laughing AGAIN!

What bill was this?NON political comment
The present Congress changed the laws to allow your ISP and others to collect that data. There is not supposed to be identifiable info collected Hence the all traffic to you IP address is served the AD
You are using IG and FB, and you're complaining that someone's watching you. Isn't this the meaning of social media?That is the meaning of social media - someone is always spying on you. What is the difference between the software and your followers?
I don't think that this is any kind of "proof" that IG or FB is spying on you and I don't see that if they were that they would be breaking any laws.So, many of us trust the modern social media about zero. Just wanted to share this.
My wife has one of my college daughters Facebook and Instagram account on her iPad. (ps: Facebook owns Instagram, a social media website that people share pictures). The iPad connects via wifi to my house router. We just like to see her silliness and stay current with her friends and our families that she follows. She is cool with it.
We all know that these social media sites make their money off selling ads, and presenting them in your face.
What I want to share. I access this RV website, via my PC only, and is plugged into my router via via Ethernet cable. Well, lately, I have been searching for a new pair of sneakers, New Balance, kinda bland, old man shoe, black., etc on a website called Zappos (great place).
What is CREEPY, is, that an ad popped up on my daughters Instagram, for NewBalance, with the exact shoes I was looking at (and mind you nothing like a 21 year old college girl would ever look at)
I am floored, because THE only way that ad could be on her Instagram, is: Instagram / Facebook monitors Everything that goes through my Router, even by wifi, period. I'm not upset per say the shoes are on there, but does Instagram / Facebook watch my online banking, my online Amazon use, my online Brokerage accounts?
Who could I even complain to about this? Surely this is invasion of privacy.
