Is Internet Really Safe
Many people still use Windows for anonymous searching. Before we all brag about being "anonymous online" and 'try' to hide our standout's, there is a thing we all should keep in mind: We all whatsoever we do, cannot completely hide our information and delete our traces. Now I'll present some valid facts to prove that even the hardest criminals and hackers can be caught by the federal agencies.
#Fact 1
TCP/IP: The main protocol responsible for internet (Transfer Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) ensures the transfer of data via the internet. When TCP/IP was made, it was kept in mind that Internet will be used for sharing data & transparency but not anonymity.. So that being said, the very basics of internet was not there for our anonymity but for sharing and hence we cannot ever claim that internet was or is protecting out information by "hiding" it using some tool.
#Fact 2
ARPANET: The very first Internet project whose basics are still and will ever be used for modern internet, was only sharing. The most famous and relevant phrase is, "What goes online stays there forever". I know many people would say that we delete our information and that even the servers delete it from their systems, but let me assure you that even after deleting the data from both the client and server, it stays there as small bits and bytes of scattered information until it's over-written. No matter how much you delete the information from Whatsapp, Facebook, Twitter etc.. it will stay, forever.
#Fact 3
What big companies like Facebook don't want us to know is that they give all the information to the government (agencies) on demand. That doesn't mean that they give over all the information, but then again they don't care to. If any cop asks about your Facebook account regarding a suspicion, the company has to provide then with all your personal information. This will be fine for many people but then comes the great "Data Mining". In data mining, the company "mines" (extracts) everyone's data... Yes, "everyone" regardless if you're a simple person of a criminal. They don't care. Moreover, they sell the information and get $$$ out of it. They only mean business and don't really think the kind of person seeing the information on other end.
So after writing all this, I want to add that you can still manage to not get in the eyes of the cops and other agencies by using tools and utilities that can completely bleach out the data.. You can also use tools like Tor, I2p and Freenet to browse the internet Uncensored.
I will teach you the techniques you can use on Windows to protect yourself. But before it I want to say that if you use Windows and care about privacy, don't use it.
Bye!
