Note of Caution using Free or Paid Digital Services
There is a ton of fine print in the terms of use or terms of service or privacy policy with these (and other) digital services. It doesn’t matter if it’s free or paid. Be aware that anything that you say or type may be susceptible to misuse, surveillance, undisclosed usage, abuse, or whatever.
When you have a need to say or share something confidentially and privately, don’t leave a trail—neither digital or print—and say it in person. And even then, watch out for hidden bugs and surveillance devices. You don’t have to be paranoid, but you do need to be aware.
