    Ok since youtube has been taking down a lot of vids and replacing them with Viacom pyramid splashscreens, and when google actually refuses to let me search for certain terms and blocks a heap of stuff on google images that used to be accesible until recently....

    Probably time to find out which if any browser is independent or safe? Equally my mobile phone is as up for question as my laptop.

    Are there any safe browsers, search engines, operating systems?

    Equally I'm assuming there are more things I need to worry about apart from ISP stuff and MAC addresses.

    Google+, gmail, facebook all 'observed' etc....

    Can someone PM a 101 for www privacy?

    Would it be illegal copyrighted content that it's blocked?

    Not really, you can get programs that will go some way to hiding your activity but at the end of the day if they want to spy on you, you won't be able to stop them unless you seriously know what your doing. Unless your running a pirating site or uploading terabytes of copyrighted media to the internet they simply don't care about you. Everything you do online is monitored by programs, and all their doing is collecting data and pushing ads.

    I reallllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllly wish this wasn't a little bit of disinformation on their part. Even the description of 'aggregation' is completely a 'THEY' type of thing. I want to know what my laptop is shipped with in terms of secret codes and IDS. It's a pain having multiple ISP reroutes set up and 3 different programs masking my MAC address esp since I dont know know what ACTUAL stuff they have set up to keep tabs on me.

    An dno it's not content of any financial value or copyright. I collect old tv footage. Old shows which have been destroyed, old ads, old idents. Stuff that's fair use or historical. But they even have algorithms and complaints processes for that stuff now too.

    If you have a Samsung phone: look at the way 'samsung' is fonted.... the 'a' is the only adjusted letter. They didn't have to include a masonic allusion in their logo, but they did. Hence the RFID, personal ID rool out seems quite likely. Not even to get started on the whole Apple nightmare.

    Have considered Tor- If I was the powers that be I'd set up Tor deliberately as a double blind. Was it ever 'safe'?

    I dont deal in dodgy porn or drugs or any media that has a copyright or a dvd release.

    Just been repeatedly 503d for the Icke forums :rolleyes:

    And ONLY the Icke forums. Hello MI6 I guess :)

    I wonder what a mason could tell me about the numerical significance of the various www codes and numbers etc

    Be very careful about using Facebook, Instagram - any social media. A really good documentary to watch on the whole subject is Terms & Conditions Apply on Netflix.... Aside from using a proxy with your browser you should look at protecting your emails using an end-to-end encryption tool such as Jumble - it works with your Gmail account so that even they can't read your emails or attachments.
