An interesting comment from Snowden - 1984hasarrived - 01-10-2017 Found this on diaspora - interesting thought from Mr Snowden, and sadly it is all too true. People have been brainwashed into not caring about their privacy, I am trying to encourage others to use PGP as default and am not getting anywhere as people say "Why do that when I have nothing to hide?" *facepalm*. That is not the point!! Freedom is taken away daily as others tag you in pics on FailBook without your consent, as your emails are monitored by Google, and your surfing is tracked and targeted. People should be able to choose what they share, and not have that freedom ripped from them. ****** ETA Well, looks like I will definitely be removing that pretty soon.

Love him or hate him, he's right on target I'm afraid when it comes to the young folks of today. Yes, last year I noticed Farcebook stopped letting me use chat on phone, they wanted me to down Messenger. So I looked into it and was like oh HELL NO. No way, no how. That has got to be one of the most intrusive prying apps I have run across so far. Wanting "permission" on just about EVERYTHING on your phone. Yet how many use it according to the article? 900 million? Just so they can "chat" to one another, they are giving up their privacy? All one has to do is set the option to "desk top" instead of mobile and that usually works for me. Of course, very seldom do i respond to chat via phone unless it is mystic.

That is not the point!! Okay, color me dumb. But what is PGP? And even tho you may have nothing to hide, it is the principle of the matter when it comes to privacy. RE: An interesting comment from Snowden - 1984hasarrived - 01-10-2017 @senona PGP is the most common method of encryption. It stands for Pretty Good Privacy (nice huh?), and has been around for a while. Now it has become commercial but there is a free version called GnuPG. There are other ways as well to use PGP, eg Thuderbird (mail client) and Enigmail, you just need then everyone else to be using PGP so you can encrypt your emails to them, well yoiu can encrypt them anyway but without your public key and PGP they will be unable to read the email RE: An interesting comment from Snowden - Daitengu - 01-10-2017 Those who are stupid enough to use all that shit deserve what they get ....... not my fucking problem they dont know how to secure their communications and are too stupid to value their privacy ......

But getting others to be in the same frame of mind and worried about their Personal information will drive you crazy. The older you are the more you understand, No One Will Take Care Of You Nor Do They Care! The younger Sheeple (up to 30 something) think that the Government and Mark Elliot Zuckerberg (facebook) and others Care About Them,,, YES, Really! @"1984hasarrived" , Good Thread and I'm Thankful you brought this to our members attention and to the Lurkers that don't bother to join.

Like Podesta using the actual word "password" for his email password, and then clicked on the phishing scam link. LMAO. Heck, that was one of the first things i learned was never use passwords such as that....pffft. Yep, it appears all of DNC was to stupid to know how to secure their communications. Pretty bad when government officials themselves do not know any better. ha-ha |
