Digital security food for thought.

[Skean Dhude]

This is standard practise now. Where it becomes an issue is where the government is involved. Who cares if Amazon knows you like books on self sufficiency. They point out new ones that you may have missed. Where it goes wrong is when the data is supplied to government where they use it to id 'terrorists' They get so many false positives that sounds good in soundbites 'At any one time we are monitoring 750,000 potential terrorists. Give us more money and these new laws or they could get through'

Deleting data is next to impossible. Ring someone once efven by accident, you are on a record as linked to that person. Buy an air rifle. Your details are recorded. Everything you buy is recorded unless you use cash and a false name. I use both where I can because you can't unring a phone or unregister a purchase. Think of this for all your purchases, don't buy everything from the same place, use cash where you can and give a false name when possible.

Big Brother is here, and look he is retarded.

Almost everything on this planet is OK until government gets involved.
