Rinse, Repeat, pay attention…
No idea why this is still in the news this morning. I talked about it Saturday morning before I headed out to the lake. Ok, I guess it is only Monday, so it deserves to be talked about.
Basically, pay attention – “When you go to buy a Rolex watches, don’t settle for looking at hamilton watches.” What do I mean by that statement? It is quite simple. Everyone keeps looking at this like they are really surprised by all of this. Why? Wasn’t I clear with the links in the above Saturday morning post I did?
The government has been watching your internet usage and habits for years. There are no secrets online. If it’s online, you better not be “private mode“. Do you understand now? This is almost comical at best. I bet there will be a few thousand words written on Privacy and other issues that are at the top of everyone’s thoughts this morning.
If you truly want online privacy, then set up your own network, off the grid. That is how the BBS (Bulletin Board System) worked. Yes, it was slow and archaic by today’s standards, but you could be rest assured that your messages would only be shared within your network (FIDOnet is a good example). But even than, you still are using the communication lines of a public phone system.
Technically Speaking, privacy online is really truly just an oxymoron when you sit down and think about it. Piracy on the other hand could be stopped if the companies that harbor the illegal copyright infringing activities chose to do so.
