Another thing that I advise some people to do is have a trusted 3rd party do your intel-gathering, and only report to you if there are immediate threats to you, your finances or your health. Or you check it only, say, 1x/ month or some predetermined schedule.
There are lots of "gray" ways one can protect themselves between the black-and-white of "obsessive snooping" and "head-in-the-sand" naivete.
