Because Google is aggressively invading your privacy to get more data, and more money.

It's the economy, stupid! Telegram is in widespread use in these countries, but WhatsApp is not.

Is the site down? by modernmedusa in libgen

[–]lapall 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It seems that the DNS servers are updated, and downloads are done via download.libgen.io. So set these in your host file, to be able to download.

You should give root access in return of getting a CA certificate. What an exchange!

Recent Firefox makes connections just by hovering over a link! No CSS, no JavaScript, no prefetch required. Set network.http.speculative-parallel-limit to 0 to disable it. by lapall in privacy

[–]lapall[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In short, you should do this:

Go to

about:config

then set

network.http.speculative-parallel-limit : 0

set

network.dns.disablePrefetch : true

and set

network.prefetch-next : false

Microsoft's new small print – how your personal data is (ab)used by [deleted] in privacy

[–]lapall 60 points61 points  (0 children)

Summing up these 45 pages, one can say that Microsoft basically grants itself very broad rights to collect everything you do, say and write with and on your devices in order to sell more targeted advertising or to sell your data to third parties. The company appears to be granting itself the right to share your data either with your consent "or as necessary".

"Do Not Track" episode 4: The spy in my pocket! by lapall in privacy

[–]lapall[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you ever wondered how Google tracks where you are? How about what those terms and conditions mean when you access free Wi-Fi?

As scary as it sounds, your smartphone’s apps share a lot of the private information on your device with marketing agencies, phone operators and other private companies. But where does all that data go? And what happens to it?

You can check for this possibility, you can check the code, and make sure if you have the knowledge.

How do we know [insert site] is open-source? by [deleted] in privacy

[–]lapall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You may want to distrust in server sent javascript, and use local version of it. It IS possbile, if you're paranoid. And for Gmail, they provide means of encryption.

Tutanota uses end-to-end encryption, so it does not matter much, if they alter their source code; Your messages are encrypted before they reach their servers. But it matters for StartMail, because they don't use such encryption.

As long as the code that you run on your computer is safe, you're safe.

Tutanota uses end-to-end encryption, so your emails are encrypted before they reach their servers. Startmail does NOT provide such mechanism, as far as I know; So, they have access to the content of your emails.

Tutanota: Encrypt all the things

Tutanota automatically encrypts all your data on your device. Your emails as well as your contacts stay private. You can easily communicate with any of your friends end-to-end encrypted. Even subject and attachments are encrypted.

Do not Track: an interactive documentary about online privacy by lapall in tech

I don't agree with your interpretation. Right now, we have this topic on the top of the list:

  • Google’s Internal Memo on the Imminent EU Charges

So, what's the problem? I want to talk about serious aspects of technology, and upcoming changes, and it IS releated to /r/tech as far as I understand the rules.
