Linux Phones

Which is something I never understood.

I mean I knew the internet was never anonymous. Even back in the early 2000s I was a moderator on a forum and that meant I could see their IPs! I was surprised since before I became a mod on those beautiful old PHP forums I had no idea they could do that. But you also could ping sites and see their IP and their country of location. All that stuff.

But at the same time it still felt a lot more anonymous since you were never immediately known, and as long as you kept your personal details to yourself you were gold.

But the first thing that really got me creeped out about privacy was when I read an article (I think it was on cracked.com, but that was in the late 2000s) about how some online MMORPGS such as WOW were implementing anticheat software that would require them to scan your computer for cheating programs...

I was rightly freaked out. I never played WOW and spent very little time on any MMORPG but to me even back then that was the line in the sand. You dont touch my drives. Period!

Now what these people would want exceeds that, and it will make everything more insecure for everyone. It is just disgusting.
