I was glad to see Opera is doing the browser for this: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/The_Children's_Machine U.S. spies (NSA, its contractors) can copy and store 100% of the U.S. coms traffic, hardwired taps, with coerced consent from the telephone companies. And so we must assume other U.S. companies have done likewise (and U.S. controlled foreign companies), Microsoft (MSIE browser), Norton (anti-virus), Google (search, payment, rss reader, Chrome browser), and such, a simple matter for browsers to backdoor encryption by not generating a random number (half the process), Norton can upload keystroke loggers, Google Chrome, it uploads a huge quantity of I don't know what, as soon as you start it, and somebody is checking my hard drive. I guess there's no way for Opera to prove it's not doing the same (Norway is a trustworthy U.S. poodle, barks sometimes but always rolls over, the Norway government can require Opera to follow orders). Firefox, I guess experts could discover that (supposedly open source), but it disappears my bookmarks, I don't know why, some interference? Harry was wondering about a Netherlands bank, last I investigated U.S. banks required MSIE, and that would suit NSA, to impose that requirement, via the Fed. I guess there's no remedy for this, 100% of any browser activity, Big Brother can use, to build up his profile of us, for harassment down the road. -CJ -- Unsubscribe: mailto:[email protected]?subject=unsubscribe
