outlaw666 Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 another thing thats worth mentioning about taxation or the lack of it these days with the amount of folks who've chucked the fags & moved onto vape pens, & just to show you the figures is that on average your paying £6.91 on a premium pack of 20 fags, so if the government we're to semi legalize cannabis, it'll be on their strict terms & it'll be taxed to fuck to make up for the tobbaco losses. hence the resons for the new rules on selling vape liquids push against vapeing funded by tobacco boys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackpoolbouncer Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 You think the tobacco firms are sitting by as vaping takes over..... They aren't arguing smoking bad for you. There doing research that supports it. Anyone who think the tobacco company's are sitting by and not making there mark in the vape market is mistaken 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely your ISP doesn't send this shit to the police Hi, Find below a list of the organisations that can, or will very soon, have access to your browsing history - the sites you visit. They do not need a warrant. 'Private browsing' has no baring on this. All that does is hide the porn you're binging on from your other half when she uses the computer.

When you log on your password, for one, is passed over the network in plain text. If you're on a public network, for example, it'd be trivial to 'sniff' your traffic and grab your password automatically. Personally, I use tcpdump and grep when investigation my own connections. They're just bog-standard tools in linux, there is nothing exotic about them. I'd recommend looking into privacy enhancing tools/services such as proxies/VPN/TOR. Each has their +'s & -'s, though. Aim for 'more privacy', as opposed to complete anonymity....as that is fucking hard to do.

Magrat Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 (edited) Yeah, @MadDog101 , it does. On some levels it is. Your browsing history really is a glimpse into your psyche. Now think about that info being stored as de facto evidence without you being suspected of a particular crime. Cross reference that info with your cash/credit card usage, oyster card (or similar), your phones GPS/your calls, Amazon etc etc. What you look at, what you spend, where you go, who you associate with. All at the touch of a few keys. This ain't some paranoid, dystopian future. That's our lives now, yesterday and tomorrow. Also keep in mind that networks were not built with security in mind. If you want some semblance of privacy you have a try, but even then you're fucked. The first link below is some 'breaches' of info held by companies - y'know, finance and identity info - that are known about. Don't think it's even the tip of the iceberg. The info gained kinda looses if value if it's widely known to have been stolen, you'll only tend to hear about it once it's been...well, used. http://www.informationisbeautiful.net/visualizations/worlds-biggest-data-breaches-hacks/ Add onto all this the fact that practically all software has vulnerabilities - 'ways in' - and we have a problem.
