I know I'm getting email from dkos.. simply from going there. I don't mind.. I'm not getting all UMBRAGED!
No way would I click on greenwald's snake infested site.
From your BI link, Whisp..
"Which begs the question: Why is it OK for private companies to snoop in the name of capitalism, but not for the government to do so in the name of security?"
I can see it now.. greenwald's response.. "but, this is different, I'm special
BAD USA GOOD RUSSIA111!!! "
From Cesca's link..
"Yes, most web pages, including my article here on The Daily Banter, use analytics to determine whos visiting the site. But were not pretending to be self-righteously above it all, nor do we claim to be a haven of personal privacy. Were also well aware that concerned readers can easily opt out by blocking the trackers."
"More broadly speaking, you can opt out of everything, including NSA data collection, by taking basic measures against it: you can go entirely off the grid; you can install encryption software; you can buy prepaid phones; you can load ad-blocker extensions and you can attain other technology to hide your hilarious cat memes from Barack Obama. You can stop using Google, Facebook and Windows Live. Fact: your level of digital privacy is your prerogative."
Great articles, thanks Whisp!
