CURIOUS?

The spirit of man is the lamp of the LORD, Searching all the innermost
parts of his being. - Proverbs 20:27

"For The Eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth to
show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him." 2
Chronicles 16:9

And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for
a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. Matthew 24:14


==============
consider the following excerpts:

.... obsessed with watching, tracking, monitoring and recording
virtually everything that you do on the Internet. ... nothing you do
on the Internet will ever be private again.

The Internet is the greatest tool for mass communication that the
world has perhaps ever seen, and it gives average citizens the ability
to communicate with each other like never before, but ....Is
everything that we do on the Internet is being watched, monitored and
recorded ????

reasons why …. Potential Employers Are Demanding To See Your Internet Activity

The following comes from a recent CBS News report….

The bad news is that employers are increasingly asking job seekers for
their Facebook and other social-media passwords as part of the process
of vetting them.

While it's unclear how widespread that practice is, there's plenty of
anecdotal evidence to suggest that it is happening with increasing
frequency, as CBS MoneyWatch's Suzanne Lucas details. You can, of
course, refuse to give a job interviewer your passwords. But expect
your employment application to hit the round file, or the trash, if
you don't cooperate.

Do you remember the father that posted that "Facebook Parenting for
the troubled teen" video that went wildly viral all over the Internet
earlier this year?

That video was watched more than 31 million times, but it also
resulted in both the police and Child Protective Services officials
visiting his home.

So be careful what you post on YouTube.

governments all over the world could be monitoring your Internet
activity and you may never even know it. In fact, the level of
Internet surveillance in some countries is arguably even greater than
it is in the United States.

For example, a new bill that has been introduced in Canada would give
government authorities unprecedented power to monitor the Internet
activities of Canadians….
Dubbed "online spying" by critics, the bill is also expected to
require ISPs and phone companies to install equipment for real-time
surveillance ..The UK government is going even farther than that. ..We
suggest that the Government work with internet service providers in
the UK to develop a Code of Conduct committing them to removing
violent extremist material, French President Nicolas Sarkozy is taking
things even farther than that. He recently stated that anyone in
France that is caught regularly visiting websites "preaching hatred"
will be prosecuted.

The following is from a recent Raw Story article….

If you download potentially copyrighted software, videos or music,
your Internet service provider (ISP) has been watching, and they're
coming for you.

That's the date when the nation's largest ISPs will all voluntarily
implement a new anti-piracy plan that will engage network operators in
the largest digital spying scheme in history, and see some users'
bandwidth completely cut off until they sign an agreement saying they
will not download copyrighted materials.

..deal was brokered by the Recording Industry Association of America
(RIAA) and the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA), and
coordinated by the Obama Administration.

So be careful what you download on the Internet.

The online world has now become a world where there is absolutely no privacy.

Some are responding to this new reality by running away from the Internet,

The Internet has broken the monopoly that the elite had on mass
communication. It has given average people the ability to communicate
with one another like never before. A YouTube video or a blog post
that you put up today could be seen by tens of millions of people.
Information is power, and the Internet has put a tremendous amount of
power into the hands of the general population.

Yes, there will be people watching every single thing you do on the
Internet. So it is important to be very careful.

But the Internet also gives us an opportunity to impact the world that
is unlike anything previous generations have ever had. Something that
you post on the Internet today could end up completely changing a life
on the other side of the globe tomorrow.

The Internet is an incredible tool for exposing evil and corruption,
and over the past decade we have seen many instances when average
people on the Internet have broken major news stories...

In the final analysis, the ability to wake people up and to literally
change the world outweighs the risks of being watched.

The Internet is an awesome tool. It can be used for great good or for
great evil.

If we sit on our hands, we will accomplish nothing.
But if we try, we might just end up changing the world.
