Came across this article and it got me thinking, are there any simple ways to defeat advanced tracking methods (fingerprinting, tracking pixels, etc.)?
Obviously you could go the Tor on a virtual machine route, or a non persistent set up like TAILS, but what about a browser that’s able to give say, a 80% solution?
I work in the security industry and am always looking for the solution that is simple enough that its palatable to a client (not asking to change your whole lifestyle, just push this button) but also relatively effective.
Exactly, Google even advocated against the use of more intrusive tracking technology like fingerprinting stating it was too intrusive, I’ll be the first to say I’m pro capitalist (if you can work hard and get rich, power to you), but when you are willing to invade the literal physical privacy of people who do not even want your products, it calls into question the legitimacy of your company.
I appreciate that you are standing for moral dignities like personal privacy. But understand, Google’s entire business model IS surveillance capitalism.
Profits aren’t infinite if the resource is finite. Eventually, they would have to dig the mineshaft deeper, take more material to sell more product. This is what happens when capital is left laissez-faire, it grows more tentacles.
Lmao this guy thinks hard work is what makes people rich instead of massive amounts of exploitation in an inherently exploitative economic system…
I think you’re missing the point of a free market, I’m not advocating for exploiting people, I’m simply agreeing with the concept of having a good idea or a strong work ethic to generate your own wealth, WITHOUT exploiting peoples’ civil liberties. The part I disagree with as is illustrated by massive corporations like Google, is when they center their business model around the concept of stealing and marketing peoples’ personal information. There are in fact ways you can make a living without negatively impacting others.
How old are you? Anybody who has worked in the current climate knows you don’t get ahead just by working hard. I have worked hard for over a decade now, and im still just an employee at company Z with employee number 12345. This idea that working hard will get you somewhere is naive as fuck.
I’m the first one in my family to start building any semblance of generational wealth for my kids, you CAN do that by working hard and being smart with your money, you don’t have to back stab people to accrue wealth. I’m not planning on being a multimillionaire, and I don’t need money to be happy. But you can invest yourself and your earnings in industries that you personally believe in, that also improve your community. I’m very meticulous with who I decide to do business with, I personally despise mega corporations that monopolize markets. All I’m saying is that it is possible to believe in a free market without exploiting your fellow statesmen.
Capitalism always involves exploiting people, and free market ideals exacerbate the issue.
So you like capitalism: the prequel and all the lies they say to get the soul crushing machine ready, but disagree with post-capitalist aka the actual soul crushing machine… crushing soul?
Being pro-capitalist on this website is gonna make you stick out like a sore thumb
Exactly, and we wouldn’t want people with different opinions, experiences or mindsets on this website would we.
Uhh, okay?
What a bunch of BS.
