One guy.
Onion router.

I don't actually care if they are

> It sounds like you're preparing for something far more radical than I'm talking about.
I am in the United States.
Freedom of Speech is not radical here. It is a constitutionally guaranteed right.
... and we don't need a bunch of surveillance and control to enjoy it.
I suppose that actually is radical from the perspective of the EU or UK.
The lefty response to that is to say "the government isn't preventing you from saying anything".
You do have a bunch of surveillance and control though, unfortunately
and that is correct
...
we don't need blockchain tracking every transaction
and making that information available to the private company that implements the solution @Beemann
That's not what I'm talking about, but okay
we have all the NSA stuff
and the banks cooperate
so in that sense, there is already surveillance
but it's not as bad as silicon valley
The silicon valley stuff ties into NSA shit
at least there are some limits on government surveillance
facebook and google are entitled to do whatever they want with the information
One of the reasons why MS got so big on telemetry was because they were selling that data to the NSA
the government is much more restricted
yes
They have a proven record of not following restrictions. Why do you expect them to have done so now?
but my point is that if you have real banking relationships
you have more protection there
than you do with some unregulated startup handling the transactions
Beemann knows whats up.
You no longer have a 4th
sadly true
but you don't even have the fantasy of a 4th with google or facebook
and you have no legal recourse whatsoever when they violate your sense of privacy
We are on the way to getting it. There is a lot of talk of putting an update magna carta in to.
