Re: Violation of Privacy

Cookies are blocked, flash is blocked, most the ad/marketing sites are blocked. How are they going to get useful data to target ads to me? Just by the sites I visit? That wont be useful to target ads to me, specially when I wont even see them.

Encryption hides the content, not the IP address or destinations. The addresses are all they need for data-mining.

This kind of hardware will make encryption popular, making it harder for the govt to spy as well.
No matter what they say that it is anon data, to serve you targeted ads, they have to know who you are to do that.
They LIE so they can make money.
