I was taken aback by just how evil the internet has become. I mean we all read about it or watch the news about it all the time but, I really had no idea. The first few pages of this book made the whole read worth it. It told me how to shut off so much dangerous stuff. And while some of this was a bit over my head, overall it was pretty easy to understand and super helpful.

I’ve already adjusted my privacy settings and taken steps he recommended, and it feels empowering.
