Even though some coronavirus restrictions are starting to be lifted across the U.S., many Americans are committed to staying home. At least until they feel safe going out in public.

Protect your family 24/7 against intruders, fires, water damage and medical emergencies with SimpliSafe. Try it risk-free for 60 days with free shipping and free returns.
SimpliSafe customer sings its praises
Heather C., a mother of two, found that SimpliSafe is great at fulfilling her family’s unique needs.
Here’s what she had to say:
“We actually got our SimpliSafe system to keep our two boys with Autism safe. I looked at many different systems and this one we could expand and also use as a security system if we wanted to.
‘It has kept the two of them safely in the house, as we have door sensors on all doors including the basement. I have it set to chime, so I’ll know when the door opens. We can then make sure they are safe. No more surprise trips into the garage for the two-year-old.”
This testimonial shows SimpliSafe is more than just protection from burglars. Its flexible technology helps keep the right people in as well as it keeps the wrong people out.
Here are a few reasons SimpliSafe is the best choice for home protection:
24/7 live monitoring
No matter which SimpliSafe plan you choose, you will always be protected 24/7. That’s because every plan comes with around-the-clock monitoring.

☑️ Badge means business: Is your identity verified on LinkedIn? Your little checkmark is about to get a big upgrade. Adobe just added LinkedIn verification to its new Content Authenticity app. That means when your content pops up with your badge, folks will know it’s really you, not some AI bot. Hiring?

Don’t fall for this! Fake CAPTCHA tests are popping up. They’ll ask you to do three things: Press Windows Key + R (opens the Run command box), then Ctrl + V (pastes “I am not a robot – reCAPTCHA Verification ID: XXXX”) and hit Enter. You’ve just executed a hidden prompt that downloads malware onto your computer. Snap.
🚨 Etsy sellers, watch out: A new scam starts with an email from “support” and a PDF invoice hosted on a legit domain: etsystatic.com. The goal is to get you to fill out fake identity verification requests on a cloned Etsy site. Official Etsy emails always end with @etsy.com.
“You’ve got male!”: In more than a dozen states, porn sites have to verify you’re over 18 before showing you the goods. This ruling in Texas just got challenged all the way to the Supreme Court, because porn operators say this verification is a violation of their First Amendment rights. They argue it’s a parent’s job to watch their kids online. Interestingly, every time a porn ban happens in a state, the usage of VPNs there goes up over 1,000%. That’s no coincidence.
Not everyone needs a blue checkmark on Twitter
Elon Musk plans to charge $8/mo for verification checkmarks on Twitter. Will this plan be a boom or a bust? Here’s my take, in 60 seconds.
