You don’t know what I do on the Internet. Because I am really good at privacy.
I have expertly set my Facebook settings. People come to me for advice on these matters. Strangers cannot mess with me.
The government is spying on you. In fact, the National Security Agency may be reading this very blog post.

Traditional media sources tend to frustrate me. The assumption that the audience is a monolithic group with the same background means details are often left out, biases are re-enforced and issues are presented simplistically. That’s one of the many reasons I’ve embraced the Internet.
