You can see a map of every single location you have visited with your phone
Every major phone manufacturer is logging everything you say to your phone, you can download and listen to all these if you like
I can go on for hours
as I said I'm starting to hate the internet
Oh, all of this can be abused by states, companies or hackers.
My only consolation is at least I'm not in a totalitarian shithole like China
You will be, it will just be Capitalist driven 🙂
Everything about your life will be tracked, logged and then sold
Companies currently have a better understanding of you, than you do.
They can predict things you will like or dislike, even if you have never interacted with or even imagined the item before
And this will just expand to **EVERYTHING**
further reading on the ipv6 thing?
how's that work
The address is based off your MAC address
got it so far
That address will then move from cellphone tower to cellphone tower
Uniquely tracking that device as it transits
So in the address there will be a unique identifier to that device (Your phone) which will be identical no matter what address you're given
It will be able to link specific devices to website access, application usage, etc.
Even more than IPV4 could
but you dont use/dont believe in VPNs?
So, spoof you mac address and run through a VPN
if i recall
I do
And use
ah
was someone else
Both, those are still vulnerable
Either from 0days we don't know about, or the VPN provider themselves @Crafty
yeah, i'm with you
VPNs are only as safe as far as you trust the VPN provider
You're just moving the controller of the data from your ISP to a private business
Exactly
*Your ISP still does control your data, but not to the same extent, as it doesn't know what you're doing*
still, being that most ISPs don't even keep up the a pretence of respecting your privacy i guess it's a step up
Legally in the UK they're required to log every website you visit for 2 years
Snoopers Charter for you
so if you wanted to clean out your history as it were, you'd have to use a vpn seamlessly for 2 years
and even then you'd not know if they retained info
