- Computers can provide a lot of information about what you look at on the
Internet and the e-mails you send. It is not possible to delete or clear all
computer “footprints.”
- If you think your activities are being monitored, they probably are. Abusive
people are often controlling and want to know your every move. You don’t
need to have special skills to monitor someone’s computer activities – anyone
can do it and there are many ways to monitor.
- If you are in danger, try to use a computer that someone abusive cannot access
directly or even remotely, by hacking.
- It may be safer for you to use a computer in a public library, a community
technology center (check www.ctcnet.org for the national directory), at a
trusted friend’s house, or an Internet café.

people give up their power
is by thinking
they don’t have any.”
