      Reminded me of a basque song “El ojo te ve” from La Polla Records. “You’ll be paranoid If you want privacy”. Sad to see truth today in words spoken in 1994

        Maybe in a privacy community, but not universally.

            And not everyone viewing these posts is a member of the community. For instance, I saw it browsing All.
