Do computers spy on us?

I had a revelation that once some troll reports me, then the thought police automatically zero in...with computers. I timed it, less than two minutes. must be automatic. lets see how long this lasts..unless they ban me from posting questions (PC out of control). HA! I made a pun! PC...Politcally Correct? Personal Computer? The PC police are monitoring my PC! SHHHHHH!!!!! BIG BROTHER is watching!

    Yes even when you wipe everything from your computers hard drive Forensics can Find everything you down loaded and if the Police are able to get a warrant and take your computer they will find out everything you had done where you have been so the Only solution when replacing your Computer is to remove the hard Drive and smash it to Pieces and Burn it

    Cookies Temp Files and Cache all spy on you as does Malware and keystroke copiers

    My Brother is a computer programmer

    Source(s): even yahoo has beacons which they say we can switch off and any Program you download has a Built in Program that allows the Company to see what you are doing with their Program

    I pointed out my view about the events in Missouri, and how RACIST and PC the media was being, and automatically selling the cop down the river. They ignored the fact that the kid had just committed robbery and assault, and he assaulted the cop. i made to comment that the cop must have pistol whipped himself, being that he is automatically a racist white cop. THOUGHT POLICE! THOUGHT POLICE. so I tried it again. THOUGHT POLICE! THOUGHT POLICE!. they are now tuned in to my email no doubt, watching every key stroke. sickening.

    Yes. They can watch/spy on people through the camera lens on your computer, they hack it... not kidding.

    Also websites follow you and watch what you're doing, lots of them at once, that's why ads about things you're interested will come up on other websites.

    Yup, they're full of in built "backdoors" as is the phone network. The police need legal permission ,but the intel agencies do what they want.
