Facebook collects a lot of data from people and admits it. And it also collects data which isn't admitted. And Google does too. As for Microsoft, I don't know. But I do know that Windows has features that send data about the user. ↗

Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counsellors, and the most patient of teachers. ↗

Jewish villages were built in the place of Arab villages. You do not even know the names of these Arab villages, and I do not blame you because geography books no longer exist. ↗
