@That said, I personally am not overly concerned with organisations trying
to track my online habits. I know enough tricks not to be tracked where I
do not want to be tracked. But I am concerned for the privacy of others...
But that's a similar case with the governments too: the DoD of one
country is worried that the KGB of another country might disrupt the
activities of the DoD's friend (NSA) of another country if either
party took control over the internet.
I think there is need for a more embracing solution.....
Quoting Benjamin Tayehanpour <[email protected]>:
Exactly. The justifications are fairly weak as it is, but they become next
to useless when one takes into account that while one may trust the current
government (yeah, well...), who knows what the government will look like
tomorrow? Why give so much power to something so fragile, volatile, and
prone to change as a government?

This is cool, but the core issue of security and privacy in the internet
really goes beyond.....
For example:
On this very LUG mailing list, just by watching and reading the users'
posts, there is basic info you can deduce about the personality and nature
of each user. (kind of an inference attack)
Armed with an expert system and a military specialist or any other
specialist for that matter, and feeding the LUG user info into the expert
system, you can draw close to real conclusions about each user.
Then that serves as the criteria for teaching the neural net how to
identify your desired patterns from numerous data amounts.
With more tools like genetic algorithms, intelligent bots, etc, even more
precise and predictive info can be retrieved about users. (kinda
aggregation)
Now you can imagine, how much can be deduced about us, from info in
popular social networks, mail servers, shopping engines, banks, etc. There
is some justification that credit card companies are looking for fraud,
banks are looking for defaulters, google is organizing internet info, etc,
so what the hec?? Is that so bad?? Besides its the software that is doing
this, not human beings.
But you can bet what the repercussions and the real nightmare would be
with such tools and info in the hands of a present day Bonaparte, or
Musolini, or any of the three letter security organizations or governments
of this world turned unlawful...

Interesting.
i generally use duckduckgo but any privacy-conscious alternatives are
always welcome.
See links at bottom left of www.duckduckgo.com for an interesting, though
possibly biased discussion on Google's tracking & bubbling.

If you want to be even more private and anonymous take a look at the
