I'm too busy trying not to run into any cars at night without
headlights on, or wake up in a bathtub without my kidneys missing.

[seeburg220]

Geez. Remember back when all there was, was a DOS prompt blinking at
you ?

Thanks for posting.

[Frank Furhter]

Remember when there was just csh prompt, uucp and maybe ftp if you were
lucky to have or were the sysad/op? Oh wait, remember when there wasn't
any dialup at all or it was 110 or 300 baud? I mean really, just say no
to the Google dick in your information ass and you won't have these
issues to deal with at all. Then again there is national RFID
implanting coming your way as well. The mark of the beast, or just your
lax ass saying you wish for a better day or week gone bye?

I generally feel that people that are worried about people knowing about
them...have something to hide from someone (wife, children, law
enforcement, taxman).

I'm not bothered in the least that google thinks I'm interested in
Arts & Entertainment and a 25-34 year old male by my browsing habits.

This is your choice, and when what you do becomes illegal (and it will
if not already) you will be picked up, fined, and tossed around. This
is why privacy is so important, so a systematic invasion of the
'homeland' is now guise in what the guys with microwave cannons called
'security' coming home from training on foreign soil in the name of oil.

Ok, so you made your choice. Glad you made a 25-34 yr/old ignorant
statement and choice. Live with it and enjoy the rewards of your head
burial.

Ads? What ads?

(Running noscript with Google Analytics blocked, and Adblock Plus to
boot.)

I'm willing to let google use my information in exchange for free google
services. I'll take my chances with my search history getting me thrown
in prison by the thought police in the dystopian near future.

You are already in their prison right now by not caring.

That is ok, if you think they don't track you they you are not only
ignorant but also naive. They sell this data to the NSA, and CIA, have
said so publically, and its pretty freaking weird that people believe a
company that does business on 'ads' and user information reselling isn't
going to scam you out of your personal data.

Uh no, if ANY website I visited was *not* tracking me or selling my
info or targeting me for page ads or stealing my identity or figuring
out how to send me Vicodin/bestiality porn/Viagra junkmail, I'd be
hugely surprised.

I think this is silly. First, of the 6 billion folks on record, I
don't stand out. If it lets me see relevant ads rather than ads about
nail polish and new cars, even better. It's not like someone at google
actually cares what you do and is using it against you. So what if
you've typed something into google? In the past, there were records
about what books you checked out at the library. No one was all up in
arms over that. Like I said, it's silly.

[FredMaine]

"This is your choice, and when what you do becomes illegal (and it will

I actually agree with this and it's why this whole thing is not silly.

Example: Martin Luther King's phones were illegally tapped by the
government because he spoke out against war, something the first
amendment says he can legally do. Government does not always do the
right thing.

If the government passed a law today that bathing in lime jello was
illegal and by the way, retroactive to 1980, it might worry some who've
left a trail of web research and emails.

Just sayin.

"books you checked out at the library. No one was all up in
arms over that"

..because compiling that sort of data wasn't feasible. Computer
database searches have changed that. In fact, now someone -can- find
out what books you've checked out. In minutes, not weeks, and with
almost no labor cost.

Example. You dated a girl when you were young, and it ended very badly.
She's married now and you don't know her name, but you know her
brother's name. Facebook: found her brother in 30 seconds. She's on
his friend list, there's her name. Go to her FB page. Her friends list
- there's her son's name. His FB page: brags about being a car
salesman, in a town two miles away. In less than a minute you have a
real physical connection to someone for whom you've harbored hatred for
30 years.

All this computer data is making it impossible for anyone to "blend in"
and all it takes is for someone to take a mild interest.

Most of the nerds I work with that get up in arms about internet
privacy invasion post every detail of their dreary existence on
Facebook, with photos.

I use a modded Hosts file, so nearly all of the ad servers and stuff
don't even exist as far as my computer is concerned.

At least in the US, one cannot pass a retroactive law.

[Frank Furhter]

Very wrong about the latter, many libraries refused to participate and
ensured its patrons they would not (some going to the extent of opening
up the branch records and showing people that demanded to have it proven
rather than accept it as fact but without support.)

[Frank Furhter]

So to get around this, the government simply makes the laws so obscure
one doesn't even know if they are in compliance, or in many instances
don't even give you due process or timely process? Seriously, no
worries as well it due time retro law enforcement and thought police
(the department of 'pre crime', WTF is that, oh yes but it exists) if
the population buys into the notion that creating enough hate in the
people between sections/factions makes it feasible to sell regarding
giving away liberties and privacy.

Thanks Phish,
I deleted mine all of my PCs & the less the better to me .

FWIW, I do not have a Facebook account or anything else like it & I do
not plaster everything I do on the
Web & That is by choice, It amazes me people put all of there info out
there for just anyone to see
knowing the Law is watching just about anything they want & don't
think FB is "Not" selling your private info .

I do not have a thing to hide from the Law or anyone else, I just do
not understand what the big deal is on FB or twitter

There is no shame in hiding, or being anonymous, its called privacy...
We should be fighting hard to keep it, and ashamed if we let it go
without such.
Everyone wants to be famous, or important, at least once.

Sorry to say they can. Ohio was not issued the proper statehood
documents in 1803. Eisenhower signed a law in 1953 that was retroactive
to 1803 so the state and federal entities had statute authority for law
enforcement, taxation, etc.
