What Have You Been Doing Online?

I was messing around on-line tonight, and an annoying pop up came on the screen. It asked if I wanted to scan my computer for records of any adult sites that my computer has visited. I didn’t want to be bothered, and I know I haven’t been to any adult websites, so I went to close the pop-up with the red square in the top right corner. That always works.

They know no class or gender bounds; they instead pick anyone who falls for their fraudulent and cowardly manipulation. Their net casts over us all, yes, even those members on families.com.

It was dealt with, the person banned immediately, and there has … Continue reading →
