Sparda Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 The Internet stands for the freedom of information. Don't want your information to be known to some one and/or everyone? Don't put it on the Internet. Also a good idea to not have a real Internet identity unless money is involved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Funk Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Security is a major F-up within the internet tubes. Yet, no one seems to be doing anything about it - just complaining. I think we need web 2.5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparda Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Security is a major F-up within the internet tubes. Yet, no one seems to be doing anything about it - just complaining. I think we need web 2.5 You can't blame "The Internet" for insecurity. You can blame the people who run the servers and the people who originally designed the protocols. In the case of the protocol been the problem, there will be resistance of upgrading to a new 'fixed' version of the protocol as that would mean updating the whole Internet infrastructure. It's not the Internet's fault, it's the fault of the people who own the servers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Funk Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 I wasnt blaming the internet at all sparda - i was mearly stating the fact that security is pretty much non existent in the tubes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Kitchen Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Privacy is dead. Get over it or get paranoid. I won't mock you if you wear a tinfoil hat. In fact you don't even need to go to any extremes. As sparda has said simply separate the Cyberspace you and Meatspace you. Unless an unencrypted government laptop is stolen <sarcasm>which almost never happens</sarcasm> you'll be fine. Oh yeah, and don't give money to people who sell you out. Namely you ISP and your Congressmen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snakey Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 im pretty private on the net. Myspace destroyed your privacy and social networking sites similar. Maybe you could limit the amount of info you put about your self online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
