Isn't it amazing how strongly is *everyone* running a global business so much interested, to the point of being obsessed, in gathering as much user activity data as possible no matter what was the purpose of the user in performing some kind of a activity? It's the business of the century: "gather data, track users, profile people, correlate actions, follow the tracks". Indeed the only safe way is running one's own infrastructure. Too bad the major FOSS web browser is following this business trend, but after all we know Mozilla is a Corporation, not a charity. -- Alessandro Selli <[email protected]> Tel. 3701355486 VOIP SIP: [email protected] Chiave firma e cifratura PGP/GPG signing and encoding key: BA651E4050DDFC31E17384BABCE7BD1A1B0DF2AE _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list [email protected] https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
