What If Someone Could See Everything You’ve Ever Googled?

What if there was a little box that could be placed in your home that could…..

…. track every Google search that you ran?

…. see who you email?

…. see from whom you receive emails?

…. watch your keystrokes to learn all your passwords?

…. turn on a camera and watch you at any given time?

…. gather information about your likes, dislikes, political affiliations and religious beliefs?

…. dispense all of the above personal data to fusion centers, whose only purpose is to put together profiles of you and your family?

As it turns out, there is such a box, and if you are reading this, you’re on it right now. You not only voluntarily brought this device into your home, you paid good money for it. Your computer is spying on you.

The home computer is bar none the greatest information sharing device ever created. We can study anything our little hearts desire. We can meet other people anywhere on the globe who have similar interests to us. We can be kept constantly up to date with news, communication with friends and family and updates to our inboxes about myriad topics.

Unfortunately there is a dark side to having a home computer. A home computer means that someone else could have constant access to US.

Here are just a few little tricks that your computer may be up to, unbeknownst to you.

GOOGLE:

Google has the best reputation in the world as a search engine extraordinaire. But the times are changing and Google is becoming less and less trustworthy.

First there is the Gmail scandal. If you are a user of the free email service, you may have noticed that the ads running down the side of the homepage seem uniquely targeted to your current interests. That is precisely because they ARE – Gmail scans every single email sent, gleaning information for “advertisers”. That’s right, every single email you send through Gmail is read. Apparently it is read by a computer, but the point is, your emails are not private. Password, smassword.

Next there is the issue of censored searches. Unless you specifically use keywords that will hook you up with alternative news sources, Google searches are now directing you towards the most politically correct answers. Gone are the days when you can simply type in, for example, 9/11, and find information that is provided based on ratings – now you actually need to already have the source that you want the information from to get a clear picture…for example, “Infowars 9/11. Some websites, like Infowars, are no longer coming up in Google searches unless you include them in your search terms. At the end of 2010, Google blacklisted Infowars and Prison Planet from it’s search aggregates, despite the fact that those sites get more hits than many mainstream media sites that show up front and center.

Finally, let’s talk about Google’s new “privacy policy.” As it turns out, that policy isn’t keeping very much private at all. As of March 1, in an effort to its ads to the tastes of individual consumers, Google will integrate information from all of it’s services, including the search engine itself, Youtube and the aforementioned Gmail. Google refers to this as a “more intuitive Google experience.” Unfortunately for users who prefer more privacy, there is no option to “opt out” of this information gathering and sharing. Check out THIS ARTICLE that recently appeared in The Washington Post for more information on the new lack-of-privacy policy.

YAHOO

Not to be outdone, Yahoo also “analyzes” the content of your emails. And according to their guide for compliance with law enforcement officers, Yahoo hangs on to your information for far longer than the privacy policy states they will. Here are some alarming statistics, directly from Yahoo, wrapped up in a menu-priced
17 PAGE GUIDE

~ All IP addresses that you use to log into your Yahoo mail account are retained for one year, giving an excellent way to track your movements, find your workplace, or see who you visit.
~ Instant messages and chats are logged for a minimum of 60 days.
~ The information provided to law enforcement agencies is not a matter of civic duty – the major communications companies all have “price lists”. The US Marshall Service admitted to having PRICE LISTS FOR DATA INTERCEPTION SERVICES from Yahoo, Verizon, Cox Communications, and ComCast.

FACEBOOK

Over half a billion people worldwide voluntarily provide information about their personal lives, their friends, their families, their religious beliefs and their political agendas on Facebook.

Nowhere can be found a bigger fountain of personal information. As a way to increase the information Facebook learns about it’s users, when a person is logged into Facebook on a computer, a cookie tracks all other sites visited on that same computer. If you are logged into Facebook, the door to your home computer usage is wide open.

Facebook uses facial recognition technology to “tag” people in photographs. Facebook is also like the evil town gossips, making assumptions about you based on who your friends are. Ads that are targeted to your “friends” can also make it onto your own page. Facebook figures you’ll have the same interests.

Facebook uses GPS technology to post the location where photographs have been taken and/or uploaded, making even your physical location public information.

Skype

Purchased in May of 2011 by MICROSOFT, Skype is the world’s #1 provider of VoIP services. Two years before making the purchase Microsoft began efforts to patent technology to intercept VoIP calls.

The information can be used in many ways. Criminally speaking, credit card numbers, social security numbers or other personally identifying information can be easily procured. Information and keywords gathered from phone calls can be used in legal proceedings. Data-mining techniques can be used to gear advertisments and marketing based on conversations that you think are private.

Even more alarming is the fact that once Skype is downloaded on your computer, it is possible to turn on your webcam from a remote location. That’s right. You might be sitting there reading the latest blog from your favorite afghan-knitting granny and somebody, somewhere, might be looking back at you.

You owe it to yourself and your personal security to learn as much as you can about how your computer, your home and even your thoughts, if you are careless enough to type them in somewhere, can be accessed.

FUSION CENTERS

Finally, know that fusion centers really do exist and they are the final clearinghouse for all of this information. Sometimes loosely cloaked as “marketing research” facilities, they have systems for corralling the information gleaned from your computer usage that will provide a very complete profile of you. That profile may contain information about your relationships, your sexual orientation and fantasies, your political ideologies, your religious beliefs, your family, your friends, your bank accounts, where your money comes from, photo recognition profiles….absolutely everything there is to know about you.

The fusion centers are the real threat – if personal freedoms continue to erode at the current rate, you may one day be deemed an enemy of the state based on your Facebook status updates. Information compiled there could, potentially, make you a target of the government.

Personally, I have no intention of ceasing my usage of the internet. The internet and the continuous access to knowledge make this a great time to be alive. I will continue to do my research, I’ll continue to share my opinions and information. But I will do these things knowing that nothing is private anymore.

Big Brother is not just watching – he’s making a scrapbook.

Pardon my ignorance, but can you summarize the benefits of Swansat from - what I assumed was - the google/privacy perspective?

From the Swansat pages:

Instead of receiving a series of monthly bills totaling more than USD$215 for all of these services listed above, the user will only pay about 50% of that amount (about USD$100 per month).

http://swansat.com/overview_1.htm

Since my AT&T fiber bill (lowest package - but more than enough to stream without issue), is about $20 per month. So it interests me little to go to $100/month. Granted, if this covered my company-provided cellphone too, I could see how the numbers start to add up. That said, they don't seem more than just another ISP. The lag might suck for gamers (minimum one-quarter second for the up-down trip to a geostationary satellite). My ping to google is 9 ms and I could see a result of 259 ms as annoying.

This would still be great if you have nothing or pay too much - more competition is good. I just don't see how Swansat connects here...

[AFPVet]

Companies have been doing this for a very long time. Have you ever wondered why you see an advertisement which matches something you have searched for or a similar product or service which you have recently purchased? Companies use demographics, spending habits, searches... in order to match products and/or services with you in hopes that you buy their product or service. So too, this information could be sold to pretty much anyone....

I don't use SWANset yet so I don't know much about them. I just found them on the Internet and thought it looked interesting because of the privacy issue. I think they would be less expensive for most people when you add it all up.

If your basic residential phone service costs about USD$30 per month,
and if you have a second dedicated fax line costing about USD$15 per month,
and if you have cellular service costing about USD$50 per month (with long distance charges included),
and if you have high speed DSL internet access costing about USD$50 per month,
and if you subscribe to about 100 cable or DBS satellite channels costing about USD$70 per month,
and if you subscribe to a satellite-delivered digital audio service costing about USD$10 per month,
then your total information utility bill is currently running no less than USD$225 per month.

SWANsat™ will deliver all of these services for only about USD$100.00—and maybe for less than that!

In the Casey Anthony case, the police were easily able to see the searches for chloroform. It's already being done. Google needs to be taken down a notch or two. Isn't there a better search engine that is private anyway??

OK, I'm very interested in this prospect. But I have little knowledge of the technical side of these services, and their site is very tech-oriented. Can anyone summarize the benefits/availability of this?

Lol. I had that beat a long time ago.

[Luciconsort]

They'd need a whole new agency to catalog all the porn I've searched for over the past 20 years.... It would have a huge budget lol

[DamianTV]

WTF do you mean "what if"? how can you be so naive to think that wasn't already the case? you seriously think people can be googling crime tips and child porn without leaving traces for investigation, if law enforcement asks?

Its called a Scraper.

Scrapers prevent Google from tracking you, they dont even get your IP, they get the Scrapers IP and have no way to track you. That is, if you really know what youre doing. GoogleAnalytics however is used by many many websites for tracking site statistics, none the less, in order to accurately do that, they would need to be able to uniquely identify YOU. It doesnt matter to them if your name is John J. Doe or your name is 198443764218, you are uniquely identified by allowing Tracking Cookies, and a TON of various other methods.

Privacy and Anonymity are Essential to Liberty. Without them, we leave ourselves open to Police State Abuses

Wait...what were you thinking? :confused:

[DamianTV]

Wait...what were you thinking? :confused:

Whats scary is that in maybe ten to twenty years, and you want to find out what someone was Thinking, you MIGHT be able to just Google that too.

Sure, that is Sci Fi stuff for the Tin Foil Hat Patrol, but, what if it were real? (Hypothetical) What if someone could scan your brain every second and record what you were actually thinking? Then make it completely public? How comfortable would you be with that? When you Google on Google, that is pretty much what you are doing, by just filling in the blanks for them, as they fill in the blanks for you.

Teh Thought Police will be unleashed! :eek:

[DamianTV]

I'll try to continue on other ways to protect your privacy from information brokers like Google.

One way is a "HOSTS" file. The name of the file is just Hosts, in all capital letters.
http://winhelp2002.mvps.org/hosts.htm

The HOSTS file can be used to manipulate the way the base of your computer works. Everything else rides on top of the HOSTS file. So if you run a video game that is sending out data about you (assuming it is not an online game, or web game), and you put in that website that said game is talking to, that game can no longer be used to spy on you. Same thing EVERY OTHER PROGRAM ON YOUR COMPUTER. Install a brand new program, it rides on the HOSTS file to talk back (if it talks back, some do not). 20 year old DOS Program, if it tried to connect to the net, it uses the HOSTS file. That means that HOSTS Files are compatible with EVERY SINGLE BROWSER NOW AND TO BE CREATED. Unless Microsoft and every other OS Maker (including Unix and Linux, both can use HOSTS files also) decide to destroy HOSTS file functionality, the previous statement will hold true.

Now, that being said, HOSTS files are NOT foolproof. HOSTS files are only useful if trying to access a website by name but not by IP address or tunnelling. So spy.google.com can be blocked in your HOSTS file, but 236.74.183.56 can NOT be blocked by a HOSTS file. So, it isnt perfect, but it is a BIG GUN you want to add to your arsenal.

Now, what to do about GOOGLE SPYING? #1, use a Scraper (see previous post). #2 use a HOSTS file. #3 BLOCK GOOGLE ANALYTICS and pretty much anything related to Googles ability to spy on you. If you do NOT add Googles Analytics to your HOSTS file, you might just as well call google and tell them you did a search for something, doesnt matter what. Heres why. Google is so huge that a lot of people have started trying to get access to that data, but by them getting access, they are giving google access to you. Say Leroy opens up a new website. www.jenkins.com Leroy wants to see how many people visit his website, but isnt super smart on comptuers. Leroy copies a little snippit of code in his website that allows Google Analytics to track you, so he can see how many times YOU have been to his website. It tells Leroy enough, but tells Google more. Leroy doesnt know that after you left jenkins.com, you went to AdultFiendFinder.ws and kittenwar.com, they know when you clicked on the links, how long until your next link, if you clicked on any of their ads, etc. Why? Because both AdultFiendFinder.ws and KittenWar.com also use Google Analytics. Most websites do. If you are talking anywhere in the range of Double Digit Percentages, it is too much for them to know about you.

See, it isnt a matter of what they know, it is how they intend to use it. Every single Constitutional Right (not Civil Liberty, there is a BIG Difference) has been Violated. Do you think that they are going to follow Ex Post Facto? What is Legal today may not be Legal tomorrow. Ex Post Facto is supposed to protect you from going to jail. Say coffee is made illegal. Ex Post Facto is supposed to protect you from going to jail for something that was not previously a crime. Well, now they know you USED to drink coffee, and although the law was passed in 2013 to make coffee illegal, you end up in prison (or more favorably to them) pay a hefty fine for you drinking coffee in 2012. Now, you heard me bitch about Google, know who is worse? Facebook.

Once that information is out there, you have NO control over it, period. Your ONLY recourse is to prevent that information from getting out there to begin with.

If anyone wants help with protecting their online privacy, feel free to PM me and I will do everything in my power to help.

What to put in your HOSTS file to prevent them Tracking:

# [Google Inc]
127.0.0.1 www.google-analytics.com
127.0.0.1 ssl.google-analytics.com

[DamianTV]

Oh, yeah, and for those not in the Know, Google just changed its Privacy Policy.

http://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/

Basically, it says that ALL Google Services are going to be tied together to uniquely identify you across all their services. That means Google Analytics now gets its data from YouTube, GMail, and Google Search. Thus, KittenWar.com also links back to HotOrNot.com and YouTube, all in ONE DATABASE. At least they are being up front about saying Privacy Policy just means YOU HAVE LESS PRIVACY.

You still have SOME Privacy, dont ever let anyone tell you otherwise.

[adeel06]

Man that really sucks. They know all about you, from your favorite porn fetish to your drug of choice. rutttttroh.

[DamianTV]

Man that really sucks. They know all about you, from your favorite porn fetish to your drug of choice. rutttttroh.

It is not what that they know, it is what they intend to do with it. And just like you said, drug of choice. Oh, you googled "Hemp Paper", you must be a Terrorist! Well, obviously that would count as a "Drug User", thus, probable cause (like they need it) for a Warrant for your Arrest. Bye bye, off to jail you go! By not protecting your privacy, you are relying on someone else to make a determination of whether or not they will be abusive with the information they have about you. It opens the door to allow pretty much anyone to potentially use information against you.

I know you are new, but you might want to take your own personal privacy a little more seriously. Oh dont ask me about it because I wont shut up. But do you know who I think you should ask? Hollocaust Jews. Do you know what they would have to say? Nothing! Because they are fucking DEAD. Like Rigor Mortis Have a Funeral in an Unmarked Grave Dead. Dead because their Govt at the time decided they did not have a Right to believe in what ever Religion they wanted. When the time comes, who do you think they are going to go after next, the Jews? Prolly not. Pot Smokers? Maybe, but that is icing on the cake. Try RON PAUL SUPPORTERS.

Your Address Book is Mine- Many iPhone Apps Take Your Data
http://venturebeat.com/2012/02/14/iphone-address-book/

I just posted that big long thing on Privacy, but unfortunately, it doesnt do jack shit for Cell Phones. Cell Phones are the Antithes of Privacy. If you use a Cell, you may as well just have a GPS RFID Chip implanted in your body, since I know so many of you wont so much as take a shit without your phones, so you can text msg while turd trolling on the toilet.

[John F Kennedy III]

And your cell phone does not even need to be on or activated for them to know your location down to 10 feet (or less). And in some, if not all, cases they can still listen to anything you are saying, or any other noise within the vicinity of your phone.

I've been looking at this recently. http://www.gibiru.com/ This is from their homepage.


Search: Google nor the NSA have commented publicly on their agreement. Absent any openness, there is no way for Google customers to know what information the company is giving the NSA and no way for U.S. citizens to know what the NSA is doing for Google in return. Gibiru is part of the Search Engine Privacy Project founded by Underground Internet Privacy Activists.

No One Company should have direct access to so much personal behavioral information. Gibiru will also do its best to provide you with actual unbiased anonymous search results. When you use Gibiru you are taking a stand against Corporate Search Engines and Government Censorship. Every search you perform on Gibruu takes 51% of corporate advertising revenue away from Google for that search.

News: Gibiru News is and will remain Uncensored and makes a serious effort in its algorithm to show Alternative News Search Results over Main Stream Media. Since Google has recently blocked many Alternative News sites from its News results under the Auspice of Content Farms, Gibiru is Happy to fill the gap in providing you with the most up to date uncensored news, that you need to know.

The GPS isnt there as a feature to help them catch thieves, its a feature to help them catch YOU doing anything that brings up a Terrorist Flag.

To put it more briefly, when / if people in this country revolt against the Govt, the GPS "Feature" will be used to control Society as a Whole, not Individuals. Controlling individuals is just too much effort, and pot smokers are preferred in jail because they are no where nearly as violent as, well, violent people.

Edit:

Just found this posted elsewhere (http://www.businessinsider.com/online-privacy-who-cares-2012-2), thought the comment was very good.


The reason no one in America gives a shit about privacy is because we haven't experienced the fallout from having large, centralized databases used against the citizenry. Meanwhile, Europeans tend to give a much bigger shit because they had the Nazis who did just that and they know exactly the sort of horrors that data mining can lead to.

Until America has a data-driven genocide, no one will care. And once it's time to start caring, it won't matter much, because shit bags like you will have willingly waived our collective human rights because you're too damn apathetic to think a couple of steps down the line, or to read even recent history. A large number of people have fought and died for the privileges you'd willingly give up for no good reason.

Disgusting.

I fully endorse this post.

Google Tracked iPhones, Bypassing Apple Browser Privacy Settings


Google Inc. and other advertising companies have been bypassing the privacy settings of millions of people using Apple Inc.'s Web browser on their iPhones and computers—tracking the Web-browsing habits of people who intended for that kind of monitoring to be blocked.

Sounds to me like Interfering with an Investigation, by both the Cops, and Apple. Cops being too uninterested in doing anything where they actually have to do WORK, and Apple for refusing to help in order to force you to buy a new one, which lso makes money.

@surf, you'll have to keep us updated on what exactly happens with the Lawyer...
