What's the point of this if the CIA can record what you're typing?
Encrypted messaging
There is no point. VPNs, encryption, DNS, tor and so on are just so pirates can safely ignore their ISP. There is literally nothing less than becoming a caveman that will maintain your privacy from a government agency that wants your info. Its all placebo and paranoid autists circlejerking over their convoluted and inefficient network setups.
Nothing to hide, nothing to fear. CIA doesn't care about your loli doujins, insider "trading" with monopolycoin or buying exotic drugs from darkweb. People who care don't have access to those tools anyway.
pretty much. I will just minimize logging and ad tracking and i'm fine
>current state of Sup Forums
I bet you use discord/facebook daily
Of course you can't hide from gov.
But that' not the point. It's to make surveillance more expensive to them.
For example think about the difference between a mailbox on your private server and a gmail account. NSA can break in if they want, but it takes WAY MORE ressources.
Now imagine the cost of global surveillance if everybody host his emails.
Same goes for every means of protection.
Well that just means more taxes, no?
Tell me how to fight against it and I will. Tell me how to obtain 100% privacy on the internet without innawoods.
woah someone with a common sense in Sup Forums
hurr durr but I don't pay taxes, I live with in my mama's basement
problem=solved
You can't, doesn't mean you should like over. I like to be taken out to dinner before I get fucked. How about you, slut?
I'm not that kind of boy, queerdo.
Burger taxes. Rest of the world should not care about it.
Its for hiding your prison grade pornography trading from snooping hackers.
Tor, bitcoin, etc should come with a death sentence if you use it.
It doesn't have to be consensual. It's actually more fun if you struggle.
Sup Forums in a nutshell
i only uses QubesOS on a virtual machine at a public library, while wearing a ski mask
Depends what you mean by "100% privacy" because there is an inherent connectivity implied by being connected to the internet.
Hard encryption has solved the problem of govt spying quite well because we can quantify the difficulty of breaking it and make sure whatever you use, it's outside of what state is capable of breaking.
My setup I used to use for various things back in the day was a laptop with TrueCrypt installed and the primary partition was FDE with hidden partitions for the OS, so your true partition was deniable.
Then on there you want to install VMware and another hidden container file, inside that you create a dummy VMware image and real one. Install Tor and a Tor bridge to bridge the VMs network adaptor to Tor. (Tortilla is a good one for windows)
Now anything you do inside the VM is protected by Tor, not just browsing, everything that Tor can carry (everything except UDP basically)
The ISP and the Govt only know you're connected to a Tor entrance node.
If you want to take it a step further you can get yourself a USB wireless card that allows packet injection and hack some wireless networks and go war driving or similar, that means not even the ISP know who you are.
The exit node will see your traffic of course and so will the nodes in between that and the destination, so further encryption of the data is required, SSL, TLS or whatever for the relevant services.
It's not that hard, that's a significantly more sophistocated setup than the silk road operator had and he wasn't caught for years, when he finally was it was nothing to do with his opsec he did some dumb shit from is regular accounts/plain connection.
it's not about hiding information from the government, it's about hiding information from shitty web corporations that sell data freely to basically everyone and have their security breached constantly
Even when you have nothing to say, you should fight for your right of free speech.
Fighting fir and protecting your privacy follows the same pattern.
Certainly if you were being targeted, but I'm not convinced that moderate effort will not shield you from most of the bulk data collection and advertiser profiles.
Ultimately it's a hopeless fight that needs to be fought with policy, but in the mean time I don't see why I shouldn't hide my porn habits from Microsoft and Google.
