I have a different perspective than Crazy Hitch. I have what I consider a healthy paranoia about the US government spying on us. We already know that the government mines info about our activity on line. I make a point to never say anything in text, email, online or on my cell phone that I don't want the powers that be to know about. Ever do a Google search something then have ads for that thing pop up on your phone? Google tracks the info and sells it.
Before anyone tells me I'm being irrational or overly paranoid let me share a couple real life events. 1) I have a friend who discovered there was an FBI file on him because, AS A KID, he sent a letter to the Soviet embassy asking for information for a school report. (We grew up during the Cold War.) 2) a young man who was a classmate of my brother was assassinated by the CIA in the 70s. Many years later Law and Order did an episode about it. It doesn't help that I worked for an agency that used to take what we did and where we went on line on agency computers and on our work cell phones. I'm left feeling that a bit of healthy paranoia is a good thing, especially in the US right now. Folks, please don't make this political.
MD, I doubt the authorities give a hoot about who visits celebrity sites so you are probably safe.
