WAS GEORGE RIGHT??????????

[Frankn]

The book was titled "1984". it was written by George Orwell. It explaned how we were loosing our privacy, step by step. The cameras everywhere. The taping into our communications, etc. I personally think he got the date wrong but the rest right.

Let's look at this. N SA is tracking the users and actual playing of the video game Angry Birds. So if you do, you are on there list of possible subversives. I heard they are now tracking your credit card purchases. They already have access to your bank account info. And you thought they only had your telephone and internet info.

So you think they could not possibly have room to store all this info? Think again, they have built what is probably the worlds largest storage capacity in Utah. The place is gigantic.

The big question is not where will it end, but HOW will it end. Frank...
Never More.

1984...? Written in 1948...

 

[PatrickD]

Eric Arthur Blair did write about it in 1948. The question really is this. Did the government model after his book or was it accurate foresight?

Just because we are paranoid doesn't mean they are NOT out to get us. LOL

I see much more invasion of people's privacy coming from private companies, not the government. For example, Google is tracking my every move on the internet so it can barrage me with ads it thinks I will be influenced by. "Free" sites are only free so they can use your personal information to track what you do and try to influence your buying decisions. I'm not as concerned about the government as I am about entities that are motivated only by how they can profit from invading my privacy.

Use a good non logging anonymous proxy server Matt.

I will look into that, but Google will still track you as long as you are using any of their services. You must agree in the terms of service to let them do so in order to have a gmail account for example, or to have a personal profile on Google+. And most websites run by large companies track you automatically. They don't even ask. It interesting how that isn't as much of a concern to some people as what they think the government is doing...

 

[BC1969]

Where there's a will, there's a way to circumvent them, and there is plenty of will and a million ways lol.

1. Use the Firefox browser.

2. Install the following add ons:

Adblock Plus
Adblock Edge
NoScript
Ghostery
​

3. The google ads go away EVERYWHERE as do most of the other ads.

4. While many think that the tracking by google is about commerce, you have to remember they are merely harvesting data for that big server farm.

5. Anyone who thinks that "Proxy servers" do the job today is fooling themselves. Your communications to your ISP are mirrored to the NSA's computers. All they need to do is read the addresses you type in before allowing the proxy site to get it. If you're doing wrong, you're busted ... unless they have in mind stacking data on your activities.

Can Blackmail really be that far away?

 

[UncleMatt]

Any anti-malware software that is available to you free installs its own tracking software. There simply is no such thing as "free" software....

 

[diggummup]

It's all over but the crying. Goodbye cruel world! There is no such thing as internet privacy.

In this same vein of thought, has anyone seen the movie 'Brazil'?

You are referring to the computer farm in Utah I presume, the 10 acres at Meade is about full. Frank... PS: They are now logging your credit card purchases also.
