Re: [Cz-L] New facebook group about the Jewish cemetery

Mimi,
You cannot avoid exposure.
 Take Google - every time you enter a site , Google remembers your
interest.
  Next time you Google , after the first letter you click , Google will
  list your preferences.
   This it to help you chose but also for commercial use.
  So Google knows which shoes you like, that you prefer Canon cameras
 and Mozart operas and uses this commercialy.
   Google or any other search engine.
    Facebook of course too.
      Big brother is watching.
