Goggle will find you because they are on so many sites reporting back. I never use Goggle for searches. But my BT (notso) Hotspot has to be refreshed because it disconnects whenever it feels like it. Which is why my recent post here is invisible. I searched for a specific pub to get PostCode & OSGR data on it for map.mister.red and the BT page (uses Goggle as the search engine) duly puts up an ad for that pub. Most ads are for things totally out of my surfing history and interest, which is great, but Goggle is learning fast.

The cloning of Farcebook accounts (not hacked as such) is the current one fooling everyone. Why would I befriend a friend again? But Farcebook users friend so many they forget and agree. I have not fallen for it (yet) but I guess it is just a vector for the real nasty. Ads, shares, etc - eventually people will click on something, in sufficient numbers.
