(1,549 posts)Exactly what I suspected would happen.
The only remedy will be for the next admin to rerun the census. It will be costly but can be done as there is a single date for which data is collected and can be replicated at a later time when actual adults are back in charge.

The OP runs with all that crap turned on.

(27,955 posts)It just means that the page has links to the ads.
Financial institutions, for example, nearly all have ads on their websites. That doesn't mean that the ads have access to your bank data, even if the ads are on the pages for online banking.

You have permitted a load of third party software to ride shotgun with your browser and monitor everything you do.
You need to get rid of browser add-one and turn off the toolbar.
