Awww, so sorry about that Marie . . . what a weird, terrible feeling that must've been! :(madamimadam » Mon Oct 26, 2015 12:29 pm wrote:Soooooooooooo about yesterday and that ET article about DL 'squashing' the rumor....
I was 'talking' to someone on twitter and out of the blues my tweets 'appeared' as comments in their article. I was shocked and felt completely invaded. I realize that twitter is 'public' but I had never seen a media outlet copying/pasting tweets in their comments section.
I tried THREE FRIGGIN' times to have them delete them to no avail... As of this writing, they're still there!
I then reported them to twitter and received an email from twitter asking me to provide them with a government-issued ID (passport, drivers licence) which there is no way I would do!!!!! So basically, opening a 'report' with twitter is useless unless you're willing to provide them with info OVER THE INTERNET that any sane person would refuse to do.
By 8:00 p.m. last night, I was so overwhelmed by this invasion of privacy (that's how it felt), that I 'protected' my twitter account and blocked ET, turned off my computer and stayed off line until now.
I spoke with my younger son, a techie genius, who talked me off the ledge and made me realize that these things happen and that I had to let it go. He's a smooth talker, my son is!![]()
So, as of now, I have 'unprotected' my 'protected' twitter account and things are back to normal. My blood pressure has come down and my heart rate has returned to normal!![]()
All of this was very intrusive to me in an internet world that is very opened... Dichotomy at its best....
OMG! So sorry this happened to you Marie.madamimadam » Mon Oct 26, 2015 12:29 pm wrote:Soooooooooooo about yesterday and that ET article about DL 'squashing' the rumor....

I saw that on twitter! :( I think someone else said that ET did that to them, too. Shouldn't they have your consent to post your tweets, if the tweets were not aimed at them?madamimadam » Mon Oct 26, 2015 12:29 pm wrote:Soooooooooooo about yesterday and that ET article about DL 'squashing' the rumor....

Pissed me off, so I turned to the Today Show, and there was Donald Trump holding a town hall. I threw up in my mouth a little, and decided that the universe was telling me it was a good day to just crawl back under the covers.
