It's a common discussion nowadays, but with Google collecting data on all users, Facebook encouraging breaches of old school online security ("never use your real name online"), Foursquare being linked to burglaries, etc. people probably have less privacy, particularly online, than ever before.

Do you think this is a good thing, something we should be concerned about, or doesn't it bother you?

It doesn't bother me in the least. As if I'm the only man to ever access Sasha Knox video's, visit anti-government websites, diss the CIA, work on a book whose topic is of no special consequence or speak my mind on societal and psychological issues on chat forums.

Let 'em look. They might actually learn something.

I'm watching you buddy.

I never did understand why people think anonymity and online surfing should go hand in hand. Your computer is the only thing you actually own, everything else on the web is owned by someone else. Including the IP you "lease". You think they're not going to keep track of what you do when you're accessing something they own? Of course they are. You would do the same.

You know, I've never actually thought of it the way that Call Home has put it. It's really simple when you think of it in that way. You don't own it so you don't really have any rights where it's concerned. From your IP to all the sites you visit.

I think the age of any kind of 'supposed privacy' online is over.. this article about whats app being hacked says it all for me: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-38609854
