  • Something very basic that the average person does not care about even if they knew about it. Your every click on a website is tracked. Every single one. How does this work? Surprisingly easy enough to understand yet apparently no one wants to explain this.
    There are ways around this for the privacy conscious but the mechanics of the tracking has to be fully understood.

They are going against the Constitution. They are not supposed to be spying on their own citizens and as far as I know that is the law, which they have brazenly been breaking for over two decades now. You're basically saying that we should not hold the government responsible and put all this on the citizens.

      It's important for you you to understand it in a non-conspiritorial way, explain it to them in a non-conspiratorial way, and make sure they're using the word properly.
      For instance, if a company is doing something in secret, that could be considered a conspiracy, even if there is proof of it occurring. Conspiracies can sometimes be happening and is the accurate word to use to describe the situation. Other times people just use the word to mean "unproven paranoia". In that case, they are either correct (there _ARE_ a lot of paranoid irrational people out there that believe in problematic conspiracies such as no moon landing, govt.-planned WTC attack, recent pandemic cause), or -giving you the benefit of the doubt- are just ignorant of the facts. Telling them that this have evidence supporting it is fine, but it won't necessarily make them believe it, because paranoid delusional people say the same thing. But when you talk about how it is studied by experts, documented, and give details, combined with their own reasearch it may get clear to them.
      It is hard to change people's views, and often takes time. It also needs to matter. Fact is that most people aren't going to have some unlikely geofencing occur to them, or similar sort of false charges applied to them, nor suffer any direct losses for a company abusing their data. It's ethical to fight back, but the reality is that it is -and should be- a very low priority for most people, especially compared to what else may be going on in their life.

    • @terrydaktyllus1320
      @terrydaktyllus1320 4 місяці тому

      No, that's incorrect. It has the *potential* to phone data home because it has firmware that is closed source - and because it is closed source, you cannot investigate easily what it might or might not do. However, there are thousands of security researchers across the globe constantly testing this kind of stuff and the moment data is transmitted across the wire or through the air, then they will see it and inform the public about it. It is impossible to hide activity going over a network even if the content is encrypted - you can always see where it's going to, even if it's via VPN or TOR and that will alert you that something is happening.
      Security is more of a problem with closed source firmware because, as was the case in March 2023, for example, Exynos firmware in a number of popular smartphones was revealed to have four major exploits that could be used by bad actors. Those exploits have since been patched by Google in Android and AOSP.
      This is why people that root their daily driver phones are complete morons because rooting a phone (which is different to unlocking the bootloader for the purposes of installing custom firmware) removes a layer of security protection when the device is open to this kind of exploit.
      Some apps on phones (usually security or network testing apps) do need root access to the phone which is fine - but then you install and use them on a "burner" phone that has none of your personal data on it.

But of course... for sure they have a way to still track traffic on my websites even if I don't want them to.

    I don't claim to be ANY kind of expert on this, but I've done a few things. I bit the bullet and paid cash for a pay-as -you-go spare phone. That phone is never logged into google, has no phone number list and isn't registered to me. If some site demands that I provide a phone number, that's the number they get along with fake age/gender/address profile. It's never logged in to my wifi at home and usually powered down. I also pay for an email service with several throwaway accounts. Gmail is strictly for garbage emails. Multiple browsers on every computer. Any expert would poke a dozen holes in all of this and they're right, but you can really play hell with the algorithm by eliminating SOME threats.

      Unless that phone happens to be pretty 2006 ( which won't even work anymore) or you're storing it in a Faraday cage, the phone will still be capable of being powered passively from a signal, if someone with such technology should choose to target it.
      You could get an iridium satellite phone, although pricey, I believe the new ones may be encrypted, but the older ones can be received easily e.g. with a software defined radio.
      And also, being an outlier likely puts more attention on you. Unless you actually control the technology, you're only private from the majority of people, and there's always new sneaky ways of subverting that.

I'm not in the US, that helps too with the amount of adds. My regular phone is a degoogled one and there I use an open source to acces YT.

    Rob: Why did UA-cam add numbers to most anyone using UA-cam? Also, why does Google force people to integrate screen names on any platform? When someone signs in to email, it shows everybody their screen name from UA-cam. This sounds more like making tracking easier for google. Many people do NOT want other people to know their screen names, such as family or friends. They want it private but, send them and email and it comes up as your UA-cam screen name, although you NEVER entered it that way. That seems more like STEALING AND EXPOSING your privacy, as well as tracking everywhere you go and everyone you communicate with. Separate screen names seem to be getting stripped away from people.
    As far as Google tracking anyone: Yes. They are tracking all of you watching this video.

      "All very well Rob, but we all need a ISP address which you can be sure is completely under the control of "the spies""
      What do you mean by "ISP address"? Do you mean "IP address" or "email address" that your ISP might give you?
      If you mean IP address, those are allocated on a somewhat geographical basis by IANA, as an Internet standards organisation. Most of us who connect through ISPs do not have fixed IP addresses but they change regularly because of DHCP. The IP address that you have at any one moment in time is probably not enough to identify you anyway. Privacy is more about what you do on the Internet once you have that IP address.
      "However, I have spare phone with a sim card that isn't registered or functional at all."
      If it's not functional, what good is it as a phone?
      "I can go to various big cafes or stores etc and use their WFI so presumably I'm a dark horse on the web."
      Absolutely not, using public wi-fi is a big security and privacy risk - for example, anyone can walk in with a computer in a backpack acting as a rogue access point that acts as a "man in the middle" when your phone or computer registers to it.
      It is much safer to use your phone as a hotspot and use that for wifi connectivity when mobile.
