Perhaps, but it is a slippery slope. Seems our elite masters are taking a page from the playbook of the CCP - and as such cannot be trusted to do what you might think is the "right" thing.

In his book "We Have Been Harmonized" author Kai Stritmatter goes into detail as to how the Chinese have, rather successfully, turned the population (well, most) into drones without critical thinking capacity via deep and wide propaganda, including "erasing" things that make the party look bad. With that mentality, it is not a big leap to foresee a time when those in charge at Insta or Flickr or whomever deem photos of guns, or damage done by friends, or anything that might "upset the apple cart" are no longer acceptable and just delete them - throw them down the "memory hole".

The book is well worth a read.

I am in my my second or third week of trying to contact Carbonite re the file backup they allegedly provide. When I open Carbo and try to restore I get a message saying Restore Disabled. The message is on the screen for a split second and then disappears but after awhile it reappears again for less than a second which is not long enough to read the message about what they are trying to say.

My emails have gone unanswered, they do not respond to chat requests and I cannot find a telephone number. It appears I am in some kind of a communications loop with them and go from Support to Contact Us to no response and then back to Support to repeat the cycle over and over. I cannot even reach their Sales group.

i have used them for years and in the past, whenever I have needed support, they responded very well. I am wondering if they have gone out of business. Also, does anyone have any suggestions for a legitimate efficient cloud backup service? I will probably drop Carbonite as soon as I can investigate a recommended alternative.
Thanks for any help anyone can provide---also beware of Carbo.
