I used to follow Robin Renzetti and Stefan Gotteswinter (and others) on Instagram. Both excellent engineers, posting very interesting stuff.

Now, Instagram - part of the Farcebook empire - has blocked access to all but those who have sold their souls to the devil created an account, thereby giving away all sorts of data. Damn Instgram! A plague on them!

In this day and age, any use of the internet, or even just shopping, will result in data harvesting.

Probably, there are masses of companies out there who know what size and colour socks you wear and how much coffee you drink each week, judged by how often and how big you buy a bottle. Very little can be kept secret now.

Someone, as well as my wife, will know how long I spend on the Forum, and be looking to benefit from it
