Google aren't subpoenaed
Perhaps this is the difference, some people are concerned with being anonymous from companies like google, amazon, etc. Some don't mind that, as long as they are anonymous from a government.
Your mention of subpoena suggests you don't care about google tracking you.
- kstrauser 10mo agoI was directly replying to someone saying they could subpoena the temporal owner of an IPv6 address, as though that were somehow different than IPv4. The tracking is a moot point. You can be tracked using the same technologies whether you connect though v4 or v6, and neither stack has the advantage there.
- willis936 10mo agoIPv6 eliminates the possibility of proxies / VPNs. Being tracked simply by IP becomes non-optional.
- Dagger2 10mo agoWat? It, um. No, it doesn't do that. You can use proxies and VPNs in v6, and you're about as trackable by IP as you are on v4.
- willis936 10mo agoName one VPN service that supports IPv6. Perhaps the most existential reason IPv6 was invented was to make proxies obsolete. Either you use address translation or you don't.
- Dagger2 10mo agoProton VPN? And no, proxies were either never obsoleted or they were obsoleted by routing. Nothing to do with v6.
- willis936 10mo agoMy bar for "support" is higher than "linux only and you need IPv4 to initialize". https://protonvpn.com/support/prevent-ipv6-vpn-leaks https://protonvpn.com/support/prevent-ipv6-vpn-leaks
- Dagger2 10mo agoThat's a valid criticism of Proton VPN, but if it works even just on Linux it's sufficient to demonstrate that v6 doesn't eliminate the possibility of VPNs.
- iso1631 10mo agoVPNs as a technology, gre/ipsec and wireguard. I assume others. VPNs as a youtube sold service. Mullvad/mozillavpn for one I get an IP of fc00:bbbb:bbbb:bb01::1 and it uses NAT66 to place me in New York despite being in the UK 1.|-- fc00:bbbb:bbbb:bb01::1 0.0% 10 78.6 80.2 78.6 82.0 1.2 2.|-- 2607:9000:a000:34::1 0.0% 10 80.1 80.3 79.3 81.2 0.7 3.|-- ??? 100.0 10 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 4.|-- 2607:f740:70:101::1 0.0% 10 82.2 83.9 79.8 104.3 7.2 5.|-- 2001:550:2:d::4a:1 90.0% 10 80.1 80.1 80.1 80.1 0.0 6.|-- be3448.agr22.jfk02.atlas.cogentco.com (2001:550:0:1000::9a36:1a9) 60.0% 10 80.4 81.0 79.2 82.9 1.5 and on
- kstrauser 10mo agoThis is factually wrong. I have a VPN between my VPC and my house so services can communicate securely without configuring each one separately with TLS.
- woooooo 10mo agoGoogle gets subpoenad all the fucking time. They have whole departments set up to handle the case load. Some public evidence: https://www.alphabetworkersunion.org/press/google-lays-off-critical-workers-responsible-for-public-safety-initiatives-and-regulatory-compliance https://www.alphabetworkersunion.org/press/google-lays-off-c...
- iso1631 10mo agoSorry I meant to say google aren't subpoenaing The people I want to protect my privacy from are google, facebook, amazon, they can't subpoena my IP, they can track me just fine though.
