"Today, there is no such thing as non-sensitive web traffic..."
I just don't agree. Is it sensitive for me to google a man page or look up some algorithm or another? Because that's mainly what I use the Web for. The Web - not intranet ( which is usually quite sensitive ).
Blog reading is sensitive? Hacker News? No, no they are not.
- Veratyr 10y ago> Is it sensitive for me to google a man page or look up some algorithm or another? It doesn't make sense to cut out such specific uses. The real question should be "are my Google searches sensitive?" and the answer to that, for most people, is "yes". > Blog reading is sensitive? Hacker News? No, no they are not. They're not particularly sensitive but they show anyone watching your internet connection that you're interested in these subjects. Why let that happen when you can not?
- ArkyBeagle 10y agoThe claim was that ALL Internet traffic is sensitive. I provided counterexamples. Position refuted. I don't care who reads my Google searches. Hope they have plenty of coffee, because it's pretty boring stuff. I still get on Usenet. So I know at a very deep level that it's all public. All to the better.
