Ask HN: How to stay secure on the web?
Is it possible to avoid surveillance? (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13810015)
- tbirrell 10y agoNo, not really
- mattbgates 10y agoIt could probably be done.. using Linux or something that cannot easily get a virus, a fake name, fake information, a non-permanent email address, a browser like Tor, a proxy to hide your IP address, etc. I'm sure less than 1% of all Internet users actually go through these extremes, but I'd be willing to bet there is a person out there who is so paranoid and has done this. You wouldn't be able to shop online in order to not reveal any information at all.
