Well, I had quit using Google a long time ago, same for buying from Jeff Bezos' Amazon, and being a techno-Luddite, never cared for Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and iterations and permutations thereof. So I thought I was relatively safe. Now, given Part I of your series, and looking forward to the next two, I recall that line from "Catch-22": "Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they aren't after you."

Thanks for those two links. Yes, I hadn’t came across the second one and actually, I also didn’t know Woody Allen did that type of comedy.
The Woody Allen piece was from w-a-y back, in the 1960s, when he was doing standup comedy. Some real gems from him back then.
