To be honest, I understand (now more than before) that there is no real need to hide EVERYTHING about you. Of course, the kind of spying that you are mentioning is wrong and I would say criminal. But it's like... a social network like Diaspora, that apparently respects the users a lot more than facebook, is actually ok. Of course, everything that you decide to share with the world there is still available to anyone to look and know more about you, but that is the difference, you actually have a lot more control over those things. The problem is that these days the services that everyone chooses to use are the ones that actually DON'T respect you (facebook and skype mainly). For me it has become a matter of balance between not becoming a caveman and still protecting myself. Since I have suffered some persecution before due to private stuff becoming "public", I am still leaning more towards the second point :P
Thanks for your answer!
One question, could you give me a link to that Linux Format thing you mentioned? Thanks.
