"Google is currently rolling out the latest generation of its bot detection tech. The difference to the previous version is that the thing will run silently in the background. No more clicking on
buses. Now obviously they don't say exactly how it works, but essentially it will produce a score, a likelihood that the user is a bot, and the site can do what it wants with that.
My fear is that
this will slowly make it impossible to use any site that uses Google products to run itself without being a "citizen in good standing". Meaning that if they don't recognise you, i.e. haven't
tracked you across the internet successfully, you will be labelled a bot. With an implementation that doesn't interrupt browsing, I think it's going to be all too easy to just put it in place. Most
people will notice nothing because they are probably signed in to Google and Google knows everything about them. Anyone privacy-conscious with add-ons
up the ass and a VPN however will quickly find that almost every site is now broken."
Do you guys know that our internet service provider(ISP) monitors everything we do on the internet and theirs nothing we or the constitution can do about it
If NSA decides to mess with your computer, you are done for, obviously. The ISP alone however, you can use Tor or similar stuff (Whonix for example) to achieve a certain level of privacy/security
So no, there is not "nothing we can do" about the ISP, but the big actors (nation agencies) are indeed able to break into your computer, just like a swat team is able to break into your home.
You can use secret codes, hashing, send internal messages off Twitter completely public - nobody will fucking know what you are talking about. Yes, there are many things you can do. No Tor needed.
I am not saying Tor is the only tool, or that you should trust it completely. But the majority of people want to do clear text chat and browsing, and for privacy doing that most need advanced tools
Tor is gr8 & valuable, for chat Wickr. I agree there are many others. Privacy is a paramount, majority dislike personal stuff all over the freaking net-space. No big secrets, just uncomfy &unfair.
