Google is now Big Brother....

[dainthomas]

If Google is SKYNET then who is John Connor?

Oops.

 

[CZroe]

Take that tin-foil hat off. She probably added them all to her contact lists and then Linked-In did the "degrees of separation" thing to give you suggestions.

 

[sportage]

maybe this will help

I just noticed that all amazon links on this forum get redirected through dynamitedata.com and a particular user's account with them. Wonder who's getting the $$$$ from that? Is it Anand because that would make sense.

Exactly... for the most part.

It's another ad/referral income source they use to keep all of this going. I don't mind.
I used to run adblock (still do in Firefox, but I don't use it for everything), but ads don't bother me as much anymore, until it's overboard.

Anyone used Tor on Google? Google go beserk throwing Captcha after Captcha. Like it gets pissed not exactly knowing who's where and coming from what direction. Google say its some requests but I know the Captcha is to piss the crap out of you till you disable the thing. On Bing and other engines theres no problems

While this technological world has it's positives, one negative of it is we do not have any privacy. I guess it's not bad if you have nothing to hide. All our moves are tracked through money transactions, web transactions etc...

and this is why you and your generation have failed humanity. such a dipshit, naive, and utterly dangerous philosophy that you eat up and live.

old news, bro.

yes, it's an AT thing

I'm a fucking moron and I still figured that one out on my own.

Yeah, getting confirmation never hurts though.

I don't care if you're a saint, everybody has something to hide. Not to mention I'd still value my privacy even if I didn't.

Sweet jesus.

You really don't understand how much of your personal life is going to be known to government, healthcare and advertisers... and how those details are going to weigh in on so many decisions.

Though, all of this will make the Information Security career field explode. :hmm:

What are your government computers doing on the Internet? Even a third world country like us have all our departments from healthcare police everything on a Intranet. Theyre own internet. The only computer to sniff internet access is the ones that receive emails which is completely isolated from the others. So there

Then again Nasus. Do you know what that is. Its the program/utility that ISPs use to set data plans and control their networks. 99.9 percent of all ISPs use it. Now you can add and mod the software where you are enable to look in on any thing happening on the networks of the ISP. Your FBI got a room filled with major cpu power and Nasus connected to all the networks. sO YES THEY ARE WATCHING. No way around it. No way around your isp or hiding anything from it.

Adding all your personal info to social sites like FB is not a must. Adding personal info bit by bit on seperate sites is not a must. In fact why must you store any personal info on anything on the internet that you have no control over. Like telling a person you just met but never seen your secrets and hope he doesnt blurt them out

There are quite a few ways around it, actually. Tor and other onion networking protocols like freenet and I2P and plain jane SSL (they can shape the connection and know the endpoints but the content will remain a mystery) does the job, too.

 

[Vic Vega]

Search and maps, that's what I use Google for and lately I haven't been using the search. It's not my homepage anymore.

No it cant. I mean even Iran figured out how to block Tor. Nasus controls your billing. How can Tor evade it? So your saying you can skip the toll charges of the ISP using tor? US government funded TOR. Its not gods gift to privacy. It’s encrypted from your machine to the end point, not from the end point to wherever it’s going, so that Tor node can see whatever traffic you are sending through Tor. Then theres people paranoid enough to use tor are still dumb enough to use plaintext-authentication protocols like pop3 and telnet. Communication from client to entry node and exit node to server will still remain as is. POP3, telnet and others will still be plain-text and thus subject to sniffing.

There is no such thing as real anonymity online, if you do something bad enough, the people in power can find you. IP Spoofing is misunderstood in 9/10 cases and is no protection against anything . Web proxies, offer little or no protection. They are good enough if you just want to stop your school/parents/office from tracking your surfing habits, but they won’t protect you from doing time if you commit a federal crime. Nasus picks up all that unecrypted stuff.

Then TLS/SSL? If you use TLS/SSL, traffic can be recognized as being TLS/SSL easily, and an observer could see the certificate exchange. SSL the chain-of-trust principle removes the need of knowing each other and exchanging keys securely. It is also its biggest weakness. Firefox sending out your data to google every time you fire it up. Think something like two times every couple of hours. Anyways ones personal stuff dont belong anywhere other than in a shoe box under your bed or in a safety deposit box.

Aren't you also part of the problem by using the services which push forward such a dangerous philosophy?

I do like the 'failed humanity' hyperbole though. I guess you're 'saving humanity' by complaining about the lack of privacy while still willfully giving it up.

Take that tin-foil hat off. She probably added them all to her contact lists and then Linked-In did the "degrees of separation" thing to give you suggestions.

Not likely because we do not have their email addresses and we do not store real contact info online....

 

[CZroe]

Then how are you a member of Linked-In? That's how it works. I looks at your contact lists for others and then looks at their contact lists for anyone shared by more than one of your contacts that isn't linked to you and then suggests that you link them. It actually doesn't need an email if it can ID them from some other bit of info. in order to do something with that list you sent, she probably made an electronic contact list out of it and then it got synced.

 

[LiuKangBakinPie]

Theres this one bookmark site that sync the bookmarks. Now some sites you can store a bookmark after login to do a quick login. Now if you place that bookmark exactly without the username and password into google it throws out a lot of users bookmarks to log in for sites.
