    People delete the incriminating files asap. (of course, I know how to shred them well & properly)

    I don't have anything on my computer that would be incriminating. (Those
    are on CD's). :)
    In fact I keep little on the pc at all, just things I use regularly (programs, apps, dox, etc). And those documents are also backed up on thumbs and CD/DVD. A couple actually since they sometimes fail.
    A couple of my programs have a shredding option.

    The lart stuff I did was jusdt to throw off trackers.

    I use private mode, with a VPN, at times. I also clean out my cookies
    daily, except for sites I regularly visit.
    Each week I do a deep cleaning with various programs as well as defrag,
    etc.

    I was doing nothing wrong. Simply reminding them that they don't have carte blanc in a free society.

    I use private/VPN sometimes simply because I don't want a bunch of
    tracking cookies and such cluttering up my pc.

    You can accomplish most of that just by using TOR browser.

    It's also a handy access point to the Dark Net should you want to explore. .

    I just like to explore & learn; occasionally I learn stuff that powerful others may want unrevealed, & I try to distance myself from it.
