We are not safe from Uncle Sam




In a Fox News (FoxNews.com) report March 21, Microsoft stated it is now for the first time reporting every six months the stats for government-sought information on emails.

Microsoft states that in 2012 it received (mostly from the federal government) requests totaling 75,378. That could be you! Your mail is no longer private.

It also states that Google only received 31,000 requests. Google has from day one fought the government, demanding proper search warrants, and fought then-President George W. Bush after 9/11 for total release of all mail.

Did you forget?

You should get to know your online companies and what they do or don’t do for you. It is clear Bill Gates is willing to throw you to the fishes. How secure do you feel now?
