From the standpoint of simplicity, simply admit upfront there IoT is not private. There is no privacy there. Period. Starting from that as a baseline, you will be able to manage in small bites which will add a slight fog to the data you cannot help but exude. . .

The Mecklenburg Declaration
Interesting post from the Journal of the American Revolution on the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence. Some, Thomas Jefferson for instance, claim it was "spurious", not fact. Others, John Adams it represented the "genuine sense of America at that moment." You can read the Declarations text here.
It was taken the month after Lexington and Concord. I believe the reporting of the day stand it as fact. This particular article mentions reference of the declaration in Southern Revolutionary War pension applications. It was fun to search the rolls for my own ancestors. They are there in the North Carolina Militia and Virginia Continentals.
It may well be simply Jefferson's policy in later life to ensure his own legacy and discount anything that preempts his own work? Probably.

On this day in 1945 the 4th and 5th Marine Divisions landed on Sulfur Island, known to us as Iwo Jima. And so began 35 days of combat that cost the lives of 6,281 Americans.

Today in History
One of my early Heroes of the Marine Corps, Jack Lucas birthday was today. He died in 2008. He won the Medal of Honor at age 17 on Iwo Jima. He joined the Marine Corps at 14, pretending to be of age and forging his mother's signature. He stowed away to be with a friend in the 5th Marine Division and headed to Iwo Jima. Semper Fi.
You can hear him tell the story in his own words.
