There is a federal privacy law from the 1980s that give the cops a giant loophole to access your emails without a search warrant.
In this video, I’ll show you:
What law has that giant loophole How this loophole works How police and government agencies have exploited it Why Congress hasn’t closed it And most importantly — what you can do right now to protect your email privacySubscribe / @hamptonlawfirm
No real setting is discussed tho I presume that a savvy user could use pop3 and auto delete later (before the 180 day mark discussed in the video). Still an interesting video on the legal framework of searches around digital services.
Banks track everything. Some platforms don’t.
Setting: delete account
This one thing!! We could tell you in the title what it is, but we won’t!
You won’t believe what this women did! Google hates her!
Absolute hero here.
Most likely POP3 vs IMAP. Issue as old as time.
If I ever saw this I would immediately say scammers have hacked my account.
In the US?
They’re welcome to my shit. While they’re there, they can feel free to delete and report all the ActBlue spam, because it’s fucking exhausting.
(And don’t say to add it to block lists, that shit comes in from random accounts all the time, and also as SMS. I’ve even contacted the FTC or FCC or whoever and they said there’s nothing that can be done. So, unintentional hijack of the topic, but…
NEVER donate to Act Blue. They’re insanely predatory with their spam.)
Have you tried setting a filter for “act blue”? Might be helpful. I donated $10 to one particular charity and I swear they spent $50 in postage asking me to donate more.
