"Well maybe we blew it up, buy maybe isis herded people in there and booby trapped it to make it worse, i mean who knows" basically what they are going with.

Is this separate from the mosque they totally didn't blow up because they blew up the building next to it?

They can sell it to marketers, they can sell it to the police.

With HTTP they can literally see everything.

With HTTPS (most sites) they can see the pages you visit. This gives a surprising amount of information, itself.

Get a VPN. I am going to shill for PrivateInternetAccess, which is like $40/year and you can put it on 5 things. I have it on desktop, laptop, tablet, phone, and wife's phone.

Banning VPNs is harder than it sounds because like every company in america uses VPNs for their work-at-home people.

Also many have offshore nodes.

Actually, I'm gonna post this crazy theory: Hillary Clinton would not have had a majority of the Senate and definitely not the House. Literally everything she would have done would be protested and Merrick Garland or whoever wouldn't have been passed. Jason Chaffetz said he had multiple years of investigations against her ready to go if she won. Everything would be the same except it wouldn't be as funny because she wouldn't be tweeting insane poo poo 24/7. And Trump being insanely bad might turn out to lead to 'progressive' policies due to people realizing that the Republicans are totally full of poo poo because they are in charge of literally everything right now and can't do poo poo and what they propose is actively damaging for everyone.


So...I'm gonna try to start laughing.

Zokari posted:

The justification given is that the laws aren't consistent between ISPs and companies which provide services over the internet; while I'd agree this is a problem, rather than start applying restrictions to companies like Google to better protect user privacy, instead they remove everyone's privacy, which is considerably worse given that ISPs can track and see everything you do, provided you're not using a VPN or something.

keep in mind this affects everyone, but as a tool to keep people down, its pretty solid. there's strong chances a congressman's history could leak via a company that buys it being insecure.

but now imagine russia exists, russia hacks an insecure company that owns the web data of millions of people. mind you, fb/google etc, the companies that have the most amount of info, are way less likely be insecure. but a secondary company that buys it for background check purposes, or advertising purposes, may have access to this info but they could be vulnerable to something catastrophically stupid.
