First: Tell this to anyone that is trying to change their government in a repressive regime. Or to the anonymous authors of the papers that lead to revolt in the british colonies back in the 1770's. Second: If I can target my ad specific enough, I can find out which IP downloads that ad/graphic. Then I can hunt that person down. Is that sufficiently non-anonymous/personalized for you? Third: Are you really saying "If you have nothing to hide, then you should not mind everyone else knowing everything about you"? I happen to like my right to privacy, and anonymity. If you are saying that the only people who are entitled to privacy and anonymity are those few that are real changers, then you are saying that the real changers stand out and are easy to spot. The only way for those people to have true privacy is if everyone else demands the privacy that they don't actually need. This is why I'm so disappointed with Tor: they focus so much on the security and non-trackability of those who need it to the point that normal people can't use it -- way too slow. -- Political and economic blog of a strict constitutionalist http://StrictConstitution.BlogSpot.com _______________________________________________ MacOSX-talk mailing list [email protected] http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-talk
