Online Privacy
May 25, 2017 at 7:13 am
1) What do you think of online privacy? Over the last several years it seems to me that more people are waking up to that topic. The biggest problem might not even be governments (unless you life in a dictatorship, even though a democracy can become surprisingly fast one), but cooperations which use your data to determine (or will determine in coming years) what tho charge you for a service (like for a flight), for insurance and so on.
2) Are protecting yourself in any way? I'm using a paid VPN and sometimes TOR (which is super easy to use, btw). I also try to not leave any unique fingerprints, thus only using popular browser addons.

Woof Welcome new entity.
I'm to old and non techy to worry to much about it.
I don't have an anger problem, I have an idiot problem.

yeah. Besides watching redheads in some girl on girl action 3 times a day is not illegal, right? { Did I say that out loud!?}
I meant to say how much I love watching all those science videos on youtube 3 times a day! DOOH!

anyone following me into Tumblr and watching what I watch is one mighty sick puppy.
Hope I get to meet them !!

I put my face as my avatar on a public forum, tell all my dirty secrets to people I've never met, and make plans to go visit across the ocean.
But my porn is embarrassing, so I use Firefox Focus for that.

I'm pretty pessimistic in regards to this. I figure anything you put on the internet is pretty much fair game. I don't really think there is a such thing as online privacy. Don't want something going around? Don't put it online.
