Computers set up for the public, as in libraries or employment offices, generally have limitations on their uses. That could mean prohibiting their use for activities other than general and educational purposes. You would need to read the library's usage terms for more definitive guidance. Good luck

Hopefully, you won't get charged with anything as they are giving... View More
When I was with my ex her father bought us furniture for our apartment using his debit card, but under my accounts on Walmart.com and IKEA.com. They then kicked me out and kept all the furniture.
