Anonymous No More

Times are changing; thanks to rapid increase in social network it's harder to keep yourself anonymous on the Internet. I just listened to Economist Technology section and one of their articles talked about Facebook and other companies. It turns out they're ways to track users and in short get real information about them.
Consider this, you're using Facebook and you browse the Internet while logged each website you visit is being saved in your history. Now, if you visit any website which features a Facebook like button, fb will be notified about your visit regardless of what you do. If you press the like button it will update your profile.
This doesn't sound that bad but Facebook has long be accused of selling information to other companies, what's worse about Facebook is that most people use real names. So, what the websites are seeing is a person who has a name and a phone number along with other personal details and whatever you're doing on those websites, it will be logged and used for more personal targeting.
What these means for totse is, if you’re using Facebook and continue to browse websites with Facebook integration you're just leaving a clear digital footprint for others to follow. This same applies to Google as well.
If you want to remain free, MAKE FUCKING SURE TO USE ANOTHER BROWSER FOR FACEBOOK. It would be bad if you got linked to totse.info using your Facebook or other account. I was going to add a Facebook integration feature but after reading and listening about this, it seems the last thing to do.
The Internet should remain anonymous but the companies running the services want more control and want to know you more. Hell, even Google now asks for mobile phone verification and that my friend is fucking unfair on top of that, Facebook forces you to reveal more about yourself. At least twitter isn't being a bitch but it’s best if you remain cautious.
Oh, btw don't trust any online store. They're rat bastards like Amazon.

What does Amazon do?
Pretty darn true.
When Uni is over this year I will be making a troll account with no accurate details and certainly no photos which is logged into/created with a proxy or 2. That won't do shit though, unfortunately. Just download all your data and delete it. Then wait the however many months it takes to get rid of the data on their server. Unfortunately my job dictates social networking, as I look after people and it's an easy way to get in touch. I think &T should set the "anonymous standard" and make a comprehensive guide, which is kept on the downlow, on how to stay anonymous online - or at least as anon as you can be. There are guides for TOR etc, but make a fully comprehensive one.
This.
I just had to keep the picture in because it's so true.
That picture rings too true.
That's the thing. I'm not gonna doubt that they're watching me right now. They can see my computer screen, they're watching/logging my every keystroke and mouse movement. They can see me inside my room, right now. They know what I've written on the paper in front of me. They can see the individual fibers of the paper which I wrote on. They can see the fibers which make up those fibers.
They're everywhere!
This fosho ^ :mad:
Mark Zuckerberg's primary goal is to standardize the concept of digital identity, stating that those who wish to remain anonymous "lack integrity" while he shamefully releases every individual's private information.
Although this is not to say that many individual's do not willingly provide an overabundance of their own personal information without discretion.
Though I disagree completely with Zuckerberg's thoughts on anonymity fans lacking integrity, I simply choose not to remain such. There are places where I understand and support being nameless and faceless. The places my internet travels take me are ones I'm not concerned about.
Well, all I can say is he better be careful in his private life - if he fucks about with the PI of others, he will soon find his fucked with.
hur hurr because Mr. Billionaire is scared of some 8th grade channers. :rolleyes:
Dont think that as the guy made facebook, he will only be taken to task like some one might with some one else online. The guy is a public figure and it opens up the possibilities endlessly.
Awww, you missing being a mod already? You disapoint me, I thought you would have lasted a little longer. So now, instead of being a mod and a tard, you are now simply a tard.
Hope that shit works out for you.
Why, are you going to do the loser thing full time now and do not have time for modding?
Browsing the internet is pretty stressful.
they love to know all your detail, when, where,
etc etc.
Thats why i just email the Cia, all of my records
and receipts for the year. Saves time and hassle.
Link to thread? I just don't want to miss out on any drama. Shits in short supply around here.
over totse.info?
why
You're leaving us for Totse2!?
You cant demand shit. You are a deluded loser who puts his foot in his mouth so often you should be a contorsionist.

Hasn't there been talk about Facebook having something to do with U.S. intelligence agencies?
There's been talks of many things, and I'm sure this is one of the subjects. I've heard it before, and it really wouldn't surprise me. I hate to think of it to be honest, and it's probably already too late to do anything about it
About what? All they've done is collect information on millions of people. If we all stopped using social networking sites, the ground gained by anyone gathering such information on the population would be lost within two or three generations.
Why not?
All they have to do is ask (No warrant. Just call up and get the info. Social Networking sites rarely put up a fight.), and FB has no obligation to refuse.
Well, it's not as if they're going to want to go to a persons facebook page during the investigation. They're going to have all that shit collected someplace so it's available easily and quickly.
