creeper, I’ve heard people say the eavesdropping doesn’t bother them since they are doing nothing wrong and I wonder what they could be thinking. The growth of technology has made intrusion by the government so easy. We have fallen into the trap prepared for us. With a seeming inability to see beyond the moment, those people are willing to exchange their freedom for some imagined security and allow the government to convince them they must forever live in fear of imminent disaster if they don’t pass a bill or invade another country. Once it has been given away, it’s hard to get it back.

A little tracking here. A little tracking there. Next thing you know you’re living 1984.

Obama does it? Government spying and exempting itself from laws is just fine.

Mussolini was right. When government gets into bed with business that’s fascism.

There is also this bit:

“White House officials declined to be interviewed on the rules governing the separation of campaign and state data.”

Regardless, they’ve not gauged how sick I am of 0 on tv, video, blogs, & magazine covers that an aversion has set in towards him that no amount of propaganda or in-your-face campagning/advertising will change. Nobama!

Thank you Easton. I am thinking what Google learns from working with China, they will use elsewhere.

Well. Tim WAS nuts. If they were tracking him it did not do any good. That is part of the folly in the whole project. I visit a lot of congressional web sites to read position papers. That does not mean I am a candidate that should be courted for their vote. Your browsing history is like a big electronic library card. Mine would look like the passport of an international traveler, but you would have a hard time profiling me from that information. So, not only is it scary, the folks who buy this information are stupid.

ANd to think that we all assumed he was nuts when Tim Mc Veigh claimed that the government had planted a microchip in his butt.

There are so many USEFUL tools built into your browser that turning them all off would unnecessarily diminish your browsing experience and hamper a lot of serious research. You can turn off cookies and try to remember the login for every site that requires one. But even that is just one way to protect yourself from tracking. Follow the below link for an example. If the test was real, instead of displaying your history to you, the page could secretly send the info to a database.

The test uses a list of popular websites and checks your browser history to see if you have visited any of those sites. Go ahead. It’s harmless.

Do you know how to turn off Google’s (and other’s) tracking cookies? It’s a simple option in every browser out there. Some browsers even let you turn off (or fake out) the “where linked from” info servers usually log. If the government wanted to track you logging backbone IP routing info alone with a bit of text such as the inquiries into chats, wikki and goog, would be far more powerful. And they are probably doing just that. But then no one who has been read into it can talk about it. Right? Anyway, what Google does barely touches the surface of the privacy problem.

Then there are cell phone logging issues. Last year I was one of 12 that convicted some guys involved in a murder. One of the strongest pieces of evidence was the timestamped, tracking logs of the murderer’s cell phone which the fool has thrown into the ocean.

My car has tires with RFID tags in them. Road sensors can, and probably do, log it whenever I drive over roads with them.

We are watched, recorded, and logged far more than ever before. If the government ever turns to a dictatorship and control it has all the tools it needs and more. Laws can be passed or revoked. Our future path is ours to choose. The technology is the lever that cannot be revoked. Let us choose wisely.
