ThermoNukePanda Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 I'm flabbergasted about them intercepting shipments of computer parts and computers and installing or using snooping stuff on them before it even gets to the consumer. It's outrageous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dateranoth Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 I use a lot of encryption now, but the point is not much is private. I don't much like it, but I don't go saying stupid things in stupid places. I really believe the only difference between now and the previous years in the past is we are more aware. You know when landlines were the only form of communication those were monitored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
