Thanks for the article from Laura Ryan I was recently looking online with a friend of mine. I had just switched to one of the CLEAR internet service providers, and I was checking to make sure the internet was up and running. What I stumbled onto while checking the internet was mind-blowing. My friend and I were looking up homes online, and I decided to look up my own address. It was scary to see that a satellite picture of my house is online. Not only that, but you can find a full shot of the front of our house. My husband’s truck is missing from the driveway, so the picture must have been taken while he was at work. I may sound a bit paranoid, but it was disconcerting to see my home and address online for the entire world to see. You hear stories all of the time about people using the internet to commit crimes of all different types. I do not like the fact that my home is available for anyone to see. With two small children, I want to make sure they are protected and safe at all times. Sometimes too much information can be dangerous.
