-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I encountered skepticism that a PSN or TPM UUID is even read at all even if no purchase of a DRM product is transacted. When I produce evidence of apps reading UUIDs and selling this information, UUIDS are again ignored as a threat.
Ben Mendis, the issue is UUID, not that browsers, other than the new release of Opera, intentionally send UUID to remote websites and advertisers. Apps and websites read the UUID. Benb Mendis, your suggestion of "Fix the browser, and it>won't matter if the UDID exists on the system or not" which is what Opera did is a tiny step. Reread the article on Apple banning apps that read UUIDs. If fixing the browser was the answer, Apple would have simply reconfigured Safari. Companies want to procure UUIDs. They procure them via websites, apps, hacking, etc. They sell the personal data they procure to information brokers who resell it. They will continue to do this regardless of browsers. Even if the government were to pass legislation making it unlawful to procure and/or sell personal data, there is a black market for it. The government itself collects user information. Their data bases are available to investigators. I do not want to repeat myself. Nor do I want to spent days validating the privacy risk of UUIDs. If the hardware in the FreedomBox is not private, please make it so. > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Charset: UTF8 Version: Hush 3.0 Note: This signature can be verified at https://www.hushtools.com/verify wsBcBAEBAgAGBQJP7IlHAAoJEMry4TZLOfxmbHIIAKlCVRt42aJNGGUxS5N63AQDnx+A XaJC8r/rYMRRSfz4vyN2NcGbfyDQnsYK6P2RU7HPatngieSw147pCNZsCMd0ygY1Txm6 Ab2VtuMEy2R0IhHEd5sucx18OERtIbdJiwQQGywIchMfYV0yVGFTjXO/rRS7JTFQLvXi 0gB5Ns3UKQpvvMz6bMcxtKO421qJLnD3a7FLDkAwjmFmZao+u07+dIq9iv423fXpCjEl p4KqqvjUWsrdWGrKBHzPHqWnoqsbV+XXobEpl2deDzzcoXLTW60EuGKj5f8NDLnUSHdr RZVNVIH+knrZTc1cqZyF9U8U/mcIsjj07BH4YqGa/wc= =JqNF -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Freedombox-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/freedombox-discuss
