Or maybe, just maybe, don’t do illegal shite...

Re-assuring yourself that you have nothing to worry about because you aren’t doing anything illegal doesn’t address the potential review of you (and your guests’s) privately voiced thoughts by anyone now, or in the future, who presumes to be justified in judging your thoughts and pays the man for your data.

Roseanne Barr wasn’t doing anything illegal when she tweeted her Planet of the Apes comment. The young man who just won the Heisman made a comment when he was a juvenile that now threatens his earnings potential as an adult. Employers review applicants Facebook postings already.

They should have known better than to post things on public social media, right?

Did you read the usage of agreement of your Echo? Even if it offers adequate privacy protection, do you think Facebook’s numerous “accidental, unforeseen breeches” to their privacy assurances might be worth a skeptical second glance?

Will you scrupulously read all the subsequent updates to policy as the software is “updated" ?

Smart money is that you have committed to be on social media 24/7 from now on.
