‘Privacy? Who Needs It?

Posted on November 20, 2015 by KG

…Microsoft loves having multiple names for features and policies. Whether they call them ‘beacons’ or ‘telemetry’ the fact is Windows 10 allows Microsoft to collect information ranging from your keystrokes and voice data to the contents of your email, all in the name of “improving the user experience.” Some will argue that Microsoft can be trusted to never use this data against its customers. How many conservatives would choose to trust Microsoft? It is practically a “if you aren’t doing anything wrong, you have nothing to fear from them looking” argument. Most of this invasive data gathering can be turned off, and savvy users have already done so. Are you confident that you’ve stopped all thirty of Microsoft’s privacy invasions? And even if you did, the jokes on you, Windows 10 sends information home to Redmond anyways…’
There’s an answer to these totalitarian greedheads – and it’s not Apple, because they’re headed in the same direction.
LINUX MINT
It’s free, powerful and private.

    Those in power don’t understand that it will eventually be used against them when no longer in power.
    The more complex is the system and the more you depend on it the easier it is to make it collapse.

    The closest thing to a good OS Windows ever made was XP – but I think they have a policy against producing good and useful products… but actually, we are not buying their products we are purchasing a license to use their products…

    Here’s another article dealing with privacy – it is why I tell people to get off facebook –

    This, after their brush with the pitchfork mob? Their latest video game console was initially going to require constant internet connection and the sensor bar (sensitive enough to monitor your heart rate from across the room) was going to be a permanent fixture that would shut down the entire system if tampered with.

    The consumers justifiably baulked at having the very essence of an Orwellian telescreen in their house. Sony, their number one competitor, was laughing to the bank until Microsoft doubled back and apologised.
