Virgin NEETs on Jow Forums care about privacy and security on the internet

Data collection will (or might already be) a huge business. We've already seen some shaddy shit from Facebook and Google, so I think being mindful about ones privacy could go a long way. You don't have to go full tinfoil, but taking some basic steps can help you out.

Please post photos your anus if don't had any to hidden.

There's a difference between being 'spied on' in the sense of being part of a collective group whose general information is useful from a data mining perspective, to being individually spied upon because you have information that no other person has. Personally I think that going to extremely lengths to hide yourself online just so advertisers have a slightly harder time targeting ads at you is beyond paranoid, and ultimately achieves nothing other than a false sense of security.

virgin NEETs are still potential customers

The future you might be worth spying on, especially if you get somewhere in life. Try to keep your privacy and keep your options open.

Politicians, and people in power want and have privacy, why is that? Can you become someone like that if you don't have any? What would it take to politically assassinate you if, say, your browsing/search history was public? If it's only known to some, could they blackmail you and keep you on a leash?

Information is power, so keep yours to yourself.

If some three-letter agency wants you specifically, they can just go to the ad company with an NSL. The ad company doesn't delete the stuff that ties all this shit to your real-life identity. Why would they? The more precise their data is, the more valuable it is.

Also, even if that wasn't the case, fuck marketers. I take innate satisfaction from making their jobs that much more difficult.

If we aren't worth spying on, then why are we being spied on?

Why would they want you specifically though, is the question. Personally I don't have a reason to fear being spied on. Also, what exactly is wrong with marketing? You get shown things you might be interested in purchasing, and some of the time, you purchase it, and acquire an item that brings some form of usefulness or pleasure to your life. How is that a bad thing?

The OP completely misses the point. There are things about my life that could be used to completely discredit anything I say. It's too late for me to put them back in the bag. They're out there on the internet. This means I can never publicly resist the status quo as long as I live.

Stop broadcasting your secrets on the internet. They might be valueless now, but that won't necessarily always be true. If all of us can be blackmailed by the corporations, then they will have ultimate power.

>Why would they want you specifically though, is the question
You might not know until it happens, is the answer. You forget that there aren't people looking through these piles of data, its automated algorithms flagging things. And those can get you trapped in Kafkaesque nightmares very easily. There are lots of people on the no-fly list who get interrogated every time they try to travel. They don't know why they're on the list. The agents don't know why they're on the list, and if they did they wouldn't tell you. There's nobody who can tell you why you got on the list, or who you can appeal to to get off the list. But you're on the list, so you get the full cavity search, every time.

>Also, what exactly is wrong with marketing? You get shown things you might be interested in purchasing
I don't want you to try and con me into buying shit I otherwise wouldn't. If I'm in the market for something, I will come to you. Why should you get to know my purchasing habits anyway, especially considering that I actively do not want the "personalized" ads that you use that information for?

>There are things about my life that could be used to completely discredit anything I say
Cardinal Richelieu famously said, "Give me six lines by the hand of the most honest man, and I will find in them something with which to have him hanged". Not much has changed since the 17th century in that regard.

I've never had a full cavity search travelling anywhere, but I'll take your word for it. For now though, I will be comfortable with being a relateable, explainable, honest person who could avoid any such situation by making people believe I have nothing to hide, because I honestly don't. Call it naive, but in situations of conflict most people can tell the side of honesty. We live in a scary world of technology for sure, but the world is still made up of people, and I have to believe you can appeal to people's humanity in situations were you might be getting fucking by some bureaucratic malarkey.

>but the world is still made up of people, and I have to believe you can appeal to people's humanity
Who do you think is committing all the evil stuff in the world? Robots? There are people out there that would kill you for $100, let alone for some "greater cause".

The bottom line is that if you have the choice to either send or not send personally identifiable data to some server you don't own, the rational choice is to not send it. The more of your data is out there, the more ways to fuck you over.

Everyone is worth spying on if the cost to spy on someone is low enough.

It's just economics.

who would they skip me from their global surveillance program?

It's not spying if you willingly give everything away :)

what is the technology is designed to give away about you as much as possible? compare sending message through IRC and logging to JS-monolith facebook with all the fingerprinting whistles and bells

Fact this stands, most people are idiots and dont care, no matter what g thinks or does

So what is your current location if you shouldn't care about privacy? Can I watch you masturbate to BLACKED porn you dumb fucking cuck?

>Google and Facebook aren't spying on you, stop being a paranoid autistic retard.

what is google chrome

What are you hiding? I bet you're a pedo.

so salty

Move to China, good security through spy, nice way to live.

see

Privacy is important for several reasons.

Whether they are worth spying or not is irrelevant. It's a matter of principles.

>most people are idiots and dont care, no matter what g thinks or does
I don't think anyone here denies that.

>what is datamining and why coorporations do this
>what is operation orchestra and why triple letter agencies do this
>what is hardware backdoors and why companies are doing this
Neck yourself, imbecile

The literal second you exist marketers are already getting information on you for you; we are money generating machines for our government to tax us while they move their companies to different countries. All the tax breaks in the world wouldn't help shit and just where does all this money go and what does it do for me? It goes into robots and computers learning my habits to better market things I'll more than likely buy. That's why I randomly search for things I don't like on purpose to confuse anything trying to market to me. Same for Pandora same for videogames.
Neet or not you're always being tracked. Security and privacy is a complete fallacy; illusion.

all this people saying it's a paranoia are LARPing, right?
This has been proven.

think very carefully about this

there will come a day when the russians and the chinese will leash out all they've got at us. at that point, they will own your bank account, your browsing history, and everything you ever posted on facebook, and all yor tinder contacts and messages will be theirs. they can either torrent it, or if it's one of the small fries they may decide to get a small fee out of you for it.
do you still trust big corporations and the cloud to store your shit?
oh wait, you've got nothing to hide

I don't, I just don't agree on any information about me being part of someone's profit
