Yahoo Answers is shutting down on 4 May 2021 (Eastern Time) and the Yahoo Answers website is now in read-only mode. There will be no changes to other Yahoo properties or services, or your Yahoo account. You can find more information about the Yahoo Answers shutdown and how to download your data on this help page.

What are they doing with info about you?

I was trying to think of a dangerous reason for them (Google, Facebook, Yahoo) to take personal info. I came up with profiling and separation. I know right now they use it for adds but lets say they start using it for health, or mental health, Legal matters as they say those likely to view this are likely to offend. If they make certain info public, people could be ostracised. People condemned for their thoughts I suppose. I don't know, I get paranoid. got solutions?

Update:

Solutions. I ment for 'them' or you using info against me or others to defame or discredit. LIke acceptance and tolerance of curiosity. Granted info hasn't been used for that from them but people do it all the time to bully others.

    IDIOTS think that is paranoia.

    They report all kinds of information to the Federal government.

    The Feds have a 3 or 4 story building FULL of computers that listens in on EVERY home phone, Cell phone, Text messages, CB radio, and Shortwave radio for particular words.
