Re: [Trisquel-users] I can easily steal your privacy data. Even with disabled cookies and Javascripts.

You know, I don't know how to get this myself, so any time I need to know my  
public IP address, I go to a website that displays it (usually by searching  
"my ip address" in DuckDuckGo), and it usually shows where I am, too. Except  
it's always several miles off, not even close. That's what a dynamic IP  
address is like: it's randomish, changes all the time, and provides no useful  
information to anyone by itself.

The reason Facebook recording this is a problem is it doesn't just record  
your IP address; it also records what webpage you were visiting when it  
recorded your IP address, and then it links your IP address to your account  
whenever you log in to Facebook. It might use cookies for this purpose as  
well; I don't know. The point is just knowing that some guy has IP address  
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is completely meaningless. Knowing that some guy with some IP  
address loaded the webpage is meaningless, too.
