#wifi-enabled appliances, fixtures and outlets | |||
#internet, cable and telecommunication service providers; | |||
#email accounts, social media accounts and gaming accounts; | |||
#subscription-based accounts, like Netflix, Spotify and Crave; and, | |||

You know how Facebook sometimes sends out reminders to check your privacy settings? You need to do that yourself when your relationship is coming to an end. Take a fresh look at ''everything''. | |||
