Several members of the collective activist group Anonymous have come forward with some extremely unnerving information which they would like the public to be aware of. While targeting Alabama.gov’s website over the State’s new draconian measures, they ran into something very unexpected – sensitive data on everyone in the area – and it took...

Great Infographic on Online Privacy →
Americans encounter an average of 1462 different privacy policies per year. If you were to read all of them in 8 hour shifts with no days off, it would take you more than a month!.. Social Intelligence is a background check service that automatically creates archives of every Facebook proofile and photo with privacy settings marked “Everyone.” The company saves everything for 7...

No. Not at all. Anonymous did nothing of the sort. Some script kiddies in mommy’s basement DDoS’d the CIA’s website.
It is not down, merely unresponsive until the requests let up. This is no accomplishment, merely a minor annoyance for which I’m sure several of these faggots will get arrested.

Email alternatives? Browser alternatives?
I’m looking to move from Google as much as possible due to privacy concerns- I’ve been with them a long time. What are the best email alternatives to Gmail in terms of privacy? (My favorite feature with them is probably the conversations view.) I’m not looking for temporary email accounts. Eventually, I will be willing to pay for offshore email, but can’t do that right now...
What's your tax rate? Zuckerberg's is 7%. →
Before we start talking about the Facebook Windfall and all the nice new tax dollars the company will pour into the state treasury, let me take a moment to put this in perspective. Before Jerry Brown’s finance director goes to Mark Zuckerberg’s house to wash his windows and mow his lawn (which wouldn’t work anyway; according to its SEC filings, Facebook pays for a home security...
Four signs 'hacktivism' has gone mainstream →
The loose-knit group Anonymous and other so-called hacktivists with underground origins have entered mainstream political culture, buoyed by a year of successes and increasing availability of technologies that have made it easier to participate in online activism campaigns.
While hackers gained reputations as illegal pranksters in the 1990s, a new generation appears more focused on building...

AntiSec and Anonymous: Is Law Enforcement Barking...
Following a series of high end hacks against US authorities, analysts have come to question whether law enforcement can ever really deal with the Anonymous collective.
The debate re-emerged on 3 January after Anonymous posted a link to an MP3 recording of a conference call between the FBI and Scotland Yard. The call chronicled a conversation between the FBI and British authorities discussing...
Time to Rethink Google, Too →
To me, the result of this consolidation that gives me cause for concern is the fundamental integration of my entire digital life. When you start pulling together email data with browser data, that really begins to paint a near-complete picture of a life lived on the internet. It’s not just search terms, not just circles of friends. It’s every last digital scrap of me. As we’ve...

Hollywood: Clinging to an old, dying art form →
…Hollywood was popular culture for so long. It seems to just assume that this is still the case, when there’s an awful lot of evidence suggesting otherwise. And really, that explains both Hollywood’s confusion in how to deal with all of this, as well as one of the reasons it’s lashing out. When Hollywood no longer drives pop culture, it loses its influence, and as it...
