Facebook Frolics, Disappeared Dept. 0

From the website:

In August, retired US Marine Brandon Raub was arrested for controversial posts he made on his Facebook page. Raub was arrested by the FBI and was placed in a psychiatric ward against his will, but was later released and wasn’t charged of a crime. A new Army document shows that social media use is considered an warning indicator for radical extremism by the US military. John Whitehead, a constitutional attorney joins us with his take on what situations like these could mean for the rest of Americans.

I have no idea what he posted and I don’t care. But I remember that a favorite tactic of Stalin was to confine his enemies to “mental hospitals.”

This website does not track you.

It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.

Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.

I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).

I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.
