More on why this is great:
- Your data is sent through a secure SSL connection 128bit secure, meaning if it is intercepted it cant be read, and it is only partial data equating to nothing, they need all the pieces
- Once at MEGA the data is then encrypted with your custom key so if MEGA was ever intercepted or the data leaked its secured with the Key you generated during registration a 2048bit (THATS HUGE would take a long time to crack) also bloating the file and making it in decipherable as a particular type or file.
- When you share your data with your friends or redownload it, its being decrypted from the 2048, to the 128, to real data once on your computer.

All in all from your computer to theirs its a bunch of numbers and letters that cant be linked to a particular type of file to then go after you for.

This is true internet freedom.

Sweet! Alright everybody, upload your porn.

Here we go! FINALLY, thank you Mother Creatix' for this!

Another Kim Dotcom piracy site. B***dy s'wit didn't learn anything from having the last one taken away from him. Guess what, everybody who uploads anything to that site is going to have spooks breaking his cipher. Phooey.

Anyone read the "privacy" rules etc?

You'd better do.

[Aditya_the_warrior_within]

as far as I know, farewell dropbox!

[Costin Moroianu]

It's not working for me...

Well done Kim!

No it isn't! True internet freedom would be if the internet was a safe place to store information without(!) these kinds of services!
Services like these only serves as a patch, not a solution.
Instead of guarding yourself from spying eyes, you should spend some time fighting those spying eyes.

[Gilrond]

Can you use it just like encrypted version of DropBox?

Anything spooky in there (if you have read it)?

I've read parts of it for various Google stuff, and SurveillanceBook. Have stopped using the latter now, and don't use google as a search engine any more. Youtube is unavoidable, but I don't log in any more to check out videos, which I think helps a bit.

Seriously, people should check out this lecture. I think he's right when saying they don't do this because they get a kick out of prying into people's privates lives, but because there's money in it. A LOT of money.

A real eye-opener.

[Gilrond]

No. Don't get over it - just take care of it, then it won't be dead.

[Pangaea]

That train has sailed a long time ago.

But it's important to know about how some of these things work, and he goes into great detail of it in that lecture.















(I like that mix-up )

A real eye-opener.

Using twitter
Using facebook
putting your actual personal data on the web
not putting believable fake data
not having dynamic ip
putting your phone number on web
having your cellphone tuned on when you don't need to call somebody
not using the onion router

There is no desire for anonymity.

I couldn't find my personal data on the internet even if i wanted to. This guy is right about one thing though. People are retards for giving away all these information.

[Saoe]

Here we go again, it doesn't matter there are 300 similar sites anyway. I believe people who can afford games but still prefer pirate copies should be hanged or thrown into prison. End of story.

Can you summarize some of the key points? I do *not* have time for a 3 hour lecture right now, but I'd be interested in a short breakdown of what big eye-openers there are and what habits one should avoid.

Sirnaq quoted those "bad habits":

This guy most be Jerry Fletcher or something.

[Gilrond]

Other bad habits: not using encryption on instant messaging or VoIP, not using encryption on e-mail and so on.

See why:

I couldn't help but nod with agreement with you. Yes, I will change what I said, this might be a step but in the long run.

Thanks for that will check it out.

it's in new zealand. fail.

Watched about an hour 10 of that lecture. Very interesting, but by and large it seems rather like the chicken shouting the sky is falling. All my Likes and posts are out there so...companies can tell me to buy stuff... I'm an extremely frugal, careful shopper and plan out every purchase, so ads are of no concern to me. As for the rest - I've never posted an incriminating photo of myself on the net (I have over 5000 pics on facebook, but 99% of them are video game screenshots), and I don't use any of those services which allow your credit card to be googled. I only have a flip phone, and rarely carry it with me, and I'm not planning on running for a major political office, or fleeing law enforcement. So what's the big thing to fear?
