i saw an add on tv last night & it was one of those type of adds that we've seen use your phones as an x-ray machine, or as love ranking monitor, or is my girlfriend cheating etc etc.....this add was ''to spy on your friends text messages'' now i couldn't read all the 'fine print' on the tv but i did notice 'for entertainment purposes only' but to me i think it is an invasion of privacy & it could cause a lot of trouble & even breakup friendships......even though the 'for entertainment purposes only' is there, how is this allowed ?? :? :?
i thought secret groups were a thing of the past, well not on websites anyway

Treat everyone as if they are an idiot, until they prove you otherwise.
If you want to go quickly, go alone.

If you want to go far, go together.
