No tinfoil hat required, every aspect of your online life is logged somewhere.

Connected to your email addresses, phone numbers, and credit card numbers.

Many stores can tell you enter physically - they put 30 tracking cookies on your phone when you visited online, and recognize your phone's MAC address.

Google Maps knows where I am physically all the time. Every time I use a credit card at a store they can physically connect the purchase with me.

Just because I'm paranoid, it doesn't mean someone isn't out to get me.

Couple of days ago, MN Senator Franken called out Oculus to determine what data they collect, and how. There is no 'off' button on the OculusVR - always listening, and owned by Facebook. What data is collected? Everything that is stated? How long is that data kept? Where is that data sent, and stored?

I am pretty annoyed by invasion of privacy, but not enough to stop using my cell phone. We'll see in the next 5-10 years where laws are formed to determine the definition of 'privacy'.
