Literally cut the cord for them. Seriously though. If they are happy with it and can afford it, I'd just leave it alone

Email management. Like at all. Set up filters and use the archive. There is a key to do that. And holy fuck 2432 unread emails? You should be ashamed of yourself

Hit the nail right on the head for what they want. Why do you think they are making laws to ban porn? It's a hide behind think of the children to get your foot in the door to control more

Relatively speaking, how significant a role does good personal security practices like password management play relative to these two?
