Title: New free software needed to get round anti-privacy EU law
Post by: TylerDurden on April 07, 2012, 07:15:34 pm
Hello,
Now that the despotic EU  has enforced laws which allow them to be able to access the e-mails/internet-traffic etc. of any citizen without a warrant(as well as phone-calls etc.), our privacy online is ruined. I had heard of "TOR" which is supposed to prevent one being snooped on, but the trouble is that one cannot view most youtube videos with it. Does anyone know where to get free(or at least cheap) software that can block people watching my online activity while still allowing me to access all parts of the Net? Thanks.

Peer block is a good place to start. Because I've been involved in a lot of online black market stuff, privacy has been a concern of mine for many years now, plus I use a lot of 'pirated' (aka using your own property as you see fit) media from the web.

Nothing is sure with electronic communications and there is always a risk of interception. But peerblock is a pretty good, and fairly lightweight piece of totally free software that will at least greatly increase your own security until something  better comes along.

You can bet with the expansion of warrantless tapping power over here in the US as well that free minded hackers and developers will begin evolving software as a response and that software will be free. Keep an eye on free minded tech sites like technorati and wired.com, they are very concerned about the recent loss of privacy on the web and the other bills being constructed and will cover new software releases. I'll continue to look for better privacy freeware as well since my online activities actually require it, will post whenever I find something.

Useless for me. Right now I am saddled with a worthless Mac of 10.3 version. Any Mac versions which can cater to such an old computer(3 years old or so)?

CISPA, supposedly worse than SOPA.
