You're up there with other extremists like ISIS, North Korea, and Tony Hawk. How does that make you feel? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

So if I give up valuing privacy does that mean they'll stop watching me?

Wait... so they are tracking people who searched the terms 'USB' or 'CD'?
Surely that's basically everyone (at some point or another)?

:/

But clearly anyone interested in privacy MUST be a terrorist.

They'll still watch you, but less directly and not as intently. :D

Yes, I heard about this from my statistics teacher, a few months ago he said: "If you ever want to make the NSA blacklist, then install Linux Tails, that thing leaves no tracks.".

I best do something interesting then.

Go to those home made bomb sites,that should work a treat.

Apparently being in a 5 eye country they're not watching me... I suppose its because GCHQ are doing that anyway.

Coincidence :D! Just updated my Tails USB today, and created an alt identity to use for all the "We need a facebook account" or "We need an email" nonsense sites.

Guess I might as well start subverting governments and bringing about a new world order...

I haven't looked through my pile of DVDs and/or back issues, but I know that the magazine Linux Format included Tails on one of their coverdiscs, as well as mentioning plenty of security tips in various issues.

Guess that means WH Smiths and many other magazine sellers will have to be shut down for spreading terrorist material! :-P

People don't realise that WE are all being watched.

Data is imaginary, burritos are real.

I still have no idea how the NSA and other such unscrupulous organizations manage to sort information from errata, and how they even verify said information from falsehoods.

I mean how does Mossad, the Schutzstaffel of Israel, whom are probably trying to figure out ways to bomb others know that I think for example that Palestine is great and deserves to be a valid recognized country, when really I could just be saying a coded message to EAT AT JOE'S or DRINK YOUR OVALTINE?

See? Just like that I've sent out a beacon of misinformation that BOOBS ARE PRETTY GREAT.

And now with a simple edit, I can completely invalidate all of this by saying: Buttocks are better, though.

I just run a search for "Tails Linux'. ;-D Given that dynamic IPs are pretty common, they must be marking and tracking the whole range of ISPs...

Yeah... isn't tracking IPs pretty pointless these days?
I'm fairly sure anyone performing any actually illegal activities will be obscuring there's somehow...

I know this is still relevant today but this article is 2 years old
