How about looking at this from another angle? Why the heck should your browser and Internet connection leak anything that allows to single you out as an individual to any corporation or individual in the world?
The focus should IMO be on providing secure tools to end users for browsing the web.
- copsarebastards 11y agoI come across this response quite frequently and I remain mystified why anyone would think that it's important or even a good idea for the millions of people interested in privacy to try to solve privacy issues from the same angle. Skillsets don't even fit for this: as a developer I am well-suited for working on network technologies that don't leak information about their users, but a lawyer for example is much better suited at changing legislation so corporations are responsible for protecting privacy. We don't need a "focus", we need everyone to use their skills to protect our right to privacy.
