Incredible. I have not heard of most of these sites. However, I refused to use Facebook when I read their terms years ago. No one understood then, and most don't care now. But I would not give them permission to take my writing or images and use it for their own purposes, including selling the images to third parties. They do not own my copyright. :-)
Also, I find it amazing most sites ignore the Do Not Track switch set in our browsers. No wonder people use a false IP address app when using internet. :-)

Speaking of false IP address app I've been using NordVPN for a while now. Besides the privacy of a VPN what I like about it is I can choose a US server if I want to watch some HBO stuff or whatever which has been restricted to US residents only. nordvpn.com/ |

Good idea, Ted, using nordvpn.com to watch US streaming channels. :-)

I've used it to watch HBO's John Oliver and his Last Week Tonight shows on youtube and similar restricted content. John Oliver talks about SLAPP suits. "https://youtu.be/UN8bJb8biZU" for non-US residents or those using a VPN through US servers. Otherwise, for our US friends here is the video: |

Sorry, I misunderstood Ted.
I looked up SLAPP. Fascinating. Totally bankrupt someone through a court case to bully them into silence.

In British Columbia SLAPP cases have been outlawed, which I suspect lowered the work load on the courts.
