My question is inregards to why is it that all of my questions that i've posted up here in this website and the answers that i've received show up when i search on the internet. For example if i go to the website askjeeves and type in religion my name comes out and as well what i post and what i've gotton responce. why is that i don't mind but why wasn't i asked first if it was okay to place my name. I thought anything that anyone post here stays on the website not outside of it.
I don't know the answer to your question (it's news to me) but I will refer it to the administrator of this site. Perhaps he will know. As to going public with what you post here, let me let you in on a little secret. EVERYTHING, and I mean EVERYTHING we put on the web is PUBLIC. I can see it, my family can see it, Joe Doaks down the street can see it, the Chinese, Japanese, Indians, Canadians, and all others in between can see it. They can copy it, paste it, IM it, email it, edit it, etc etc etc. That is why we must be so careful on the Internet that we don't post identifying information. We don't want ID theft or pedophiles using it.
This site is searchable by Google on the internet. What is posted here is on the internet.
Never post personally identifiable information on the internet.
I understand your concern about your questions and answers being visible when you search on the internet. It's important to note that when you post something on a public website like this one, it becomes accessible to anyone who has access to the internet.
The reason why your questions and answers show up in search engine results is because search engines like Google or AskJeeves constantly crawl the web, indexing the content they find. These search engines aim to provide users with relevant information based on their search queries.
In order to prevent your personal information from being associated with your posts, it's advisable to refrain from including any personally identifiable information in your questions or answers. This includes your full name, address, phone number, email address, or any other sensitive details. It's always better to err on the side of caution and protect your privacy online.
If you have any concerns about the visibility of your information online, you may want to reach out to the administrator of this website and inquire about their data privacy policies and practices. They may be able to provide you with more specific information regarding how your data is handled.
Remember, being proactive about protecting your personal information and being cautious about what you share online is crucial in maintaining your privacy and online security.
