To emphasise that point, cybersecurity firm Kaspersky Lab is running a pop-up shop in London called The Data Dollar Store this week. Inside, you'll find exclusive t-shirts, mugs and screen prints by street artist Ben Eine. The catch? You can only buy them by giving up some personal data.
Excellent experiment Many people think that "free" services like Google or Facebook that 100% rely on colleting personal data only for targeted ads are ok since you don't have to pay by money for that. Such a big mistake because your personal data are the most valuable commodity these days.

And that's why I still use Microsoft Office, and give little to no information to anyone else. My Data is MINE!!!
Thinkpad4by3's Law of the Universe.
The efficiency of two screens equally sized with equal numbers if pixels are equal. The time spent by a 4:3 user complaining about 16:9 is proportional to the inefficiency working with a 16:9 display, therefore the amount of useful work extracted is equal.

Yes, that's why I use my own mail server on my own domain. That's the only reliable communication channel. I created Facebook account lately (provided minimum information) to access some discussion groups that are unfortunately on that crap only While I haven't posted anything offensive, the account has been already blocked five times without giving a single reason. So it is something absolutely unreliable but comes "for free"

Private email domains all the way!! The only problem is when you give them the email and you say the domain that they are like "whaaa???"
