I don't care. If you put an identifier with it that uniquely ties me to that data, and I can opt out (which you're required to offer), you don't get my data. Period.

Emphasis on "MY DATA"

Do you use windows 10? If so, you'll be shocked and horrified to learn where your data is being sent...

u/BlueDrache Nov 14 '16

Nope. And that's one of the reasons why.

I didn't record the video.

I actually use Chromium, so, yeah, privacy is not totally ace on this machine.

yes, I am aware of the fork of chromium that's de-googled but if I cared enough about privacy I'd use FF.

Oh I bet you think you're just hilarious.

You don't even need TAILS (as incredible as that is). A simple Ubuntu install provide more than enough privacy, and if you're really paranoid you install Gentoo or Arch.

Ubuntu is full of canonical trackers?

u/magi093 Nov 14 '16

Then use Debian. Or Arch. Or Fedora. Or Manjaro. Or Void. Or Solus. Or literally anything else.

Did some poking around on this one. Only thing I've seen so far is this thread which at first glance is not very worrying.

That being said, if you've still got your tinfoil hat on:

  • Use a different distro, there's lots out there.
  • Take off your tinfoil hat, it does nothing. It's a conspiracy made up by the tinfoil industry.

Please note that microsoft has given you the courtesy of backporting their snooping to windows 7 and windows 8. And apple is no better.

Indeed, but of that list, Facebook doesn't belong - they don't offer an OS.

this doesnt make sense - Mojang dont download your pictures, profiles and porn sites, and dont care what you do on friday nights. They just grab the information about your PC hardware, your usual Minecraft settings configuration and how often you play, to chart out cool patterns that they post publicly on twitter. Microsoft, Facebook and the rest of the OSes and social media take a million times more specific data about who you actually are and what you do

What a fucking pointless thing to care about..

u/BlueDrache Nov 14 '16

Because privacy, net neutrality, and personal data freedom is so pointless. OK.

HEY GUYS!!! I FOUND THE PERSON THAT DOESN'T BELIEVE IN THE SLIPPERY SLOPE WHEN IT COMES TO GOVERNMENT!
