“Well the ultimate opt out? Off switch.”
LOL! We would all benefit from a more widespread exercise of that option.
That’s interesting. I’m curious if you know of any intances that were made public. It is certain that government and law enforcement (especially leftist states, agencies, localities) snoop and uses AI algorithms to sift through data against their targets.
So as to avoid the appearance of targeting individuals, they target groups such as Bible believing Christians, conservatives, libertarians, NRA members and gun owners etc. I would think that targeting a law abiding group would be profiling without legitimate reason and against the 14th amendment. The idea is to subject a group to excessive scrutiny and find a greater incidence of “crimes and violations” that are then used to justify profiling the targeted group.
Now that many leftists are being pressured at the Fed level, the leftists are increasingly going to the State (like CA) and the local level to harass their opponents. State sponsored law-fare. This is leftists using the government apparatus as terrorist proxies.
I usually use Brave, with Firefox as a second choice. But I was too lazy to tweak my NoScript on Firefox to see what I wanted so I popped open my factory setting Chrome for a quick look at the news site that objects to the ad blocked Brave.
After I shut it back down, the hard drive was going wild and something was eating my CPU cycles - obvious signatures of a virus because nothing was open under Applications on the Task Manager. Tracked it down in Processes, killed it, and then looked it up.
No more Chrome for me. Because of its automatic execution of unwanted spying, it is obviously a spyware virus.
Yes, I understand.
I use NoScript on Firefox. It helps.
Often still have to shut down Firefox with the process controller and clear cache and restart the browser.
Recently have had trouble trying to update software on this version of Debian. Am considering reinstalling the OS. Might even try OpenBSD this time. At one time it was one of the most secure. I really like XFCE and whatever I decide on for the OS will have it installed.
I know of no instances made public. I am convinced that tactic is what was behind the insane prosecution approach with the Twin Peaks Waco Biker incident and the Bundy and Burns Oregon prosecutions. The lengths that they went to try and make and example of “home grown” terrorists made me think Homeland Security was involved or some element of the FBI. They publicly made bold statements that home grown threats were more dangerous than ME Terrorists. Total nonsense, but supported the political agenda under Obozo.
Yep, I’m a not very active Ham Op. I’m long overdue for some analog RF operation time. smile. Might even resort to a little CW if I can still do that. (suspect I can, even at 70)
Well DUH.. I’ve been warning people for years about that.
WHAT DOES YOUR DATA FILE HOLD?
Verizon offloaded their email accounts to AOL before dumping most of their non-yankee landline customers on Frontier. They then bought back the accounts by buying AOL. So yes, it is a still operating subsidiary of Verizon just like Yahoo.
So Frontier customers bought from Verizon can’t get a Frontier email address, but they keep a Verizon one that actually resolves to AOL.
I don’t know if new Frontier customers get email or not. They may get an account through Yahoo.
Pretty complete?
I use Brave.
Best browser I’ve ever used and I recommend it highly.
Google can go screw itself.
Facebook and Google are BEARDS for the CIA and NSA.
Probably just the tip of the iceberg.
Does it have a java script control plug in like NoScript?
Yep.
Don’t use Google. Switch your browser to Brave, your search engine to DuckDuckGo and use Open Maps instead of Google Maps. If I could completely removed Google, I would, but I actually prefer Android to Apple iOS. I just turn off all other Google related services/spying
Thanks.
When filling out the stack of paperwork, there was one sheet in particular that caught my eye. It was a sheet I was to sign, that stated I had received a copy of, and read, their privacy policy and policy on a patient’s personal information. I told the office minion I could not sign that because I had neither received nor read that information.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
EXACTLY!! - I read that stuff before I sign it. And I get the maximum amount of weirdness from some people when I explain to them that I need a copy of the so-and-so policy before I can sign.
No, does yours?
