Levine sucks in that he only contributes to the discussion with doomerism.
Like no shit the internet was created by US intelligence. He just states this in thurough detail while not providing any solution, instead only casting FUD on anything that is an objective, but surely non-perfect solution to a given comms problem like shitting on Signal endlessly while glossing over that the default is fucking SMS. Encryption is math at the end of the day and being able to review source code rather than running proprietary black box software are wiser practices. Yes we obviously shouldn't be ignorant to the history and fundamental aspects of The Internet/ARPANET, but doomering about is is also objectively counterproductive.

This and I tell you that DuckDuckGo basically copy pasts search results from google.

So if google decides to remove something from their search results then DDG will also and it will not be on searx. Bing is a wild card since I do not know how hard they copy past from google.

If you are using searx then you are simply using a proxy to get google search results, googles plagiarizing brother and googles secret lover bing results.

This changes practically nothing. And everyone with 10% of a brain already can disable googles tracking and use google itself.

None of this trash is a solution to the control google or your alt google will have over you.


And google has its own problems

> "Tor and Signal…. were funded by… the US GOVERNMENT!!!"
So is the internet stop using it then.

>Tor

This is actually a valid criticism since TOR today only exists to help the spies of NATO.



What TOR is:
(super simplified)
TOR is 1 website operated by NATO that you can use to make your web page on and using JS on it communicate with others.

You see since the TOR address is known it would be 100% useless since every other government will know that whoever accesses TOR is a agent , this is why NATO needs crazies and pedos on TOR since if the ratio is 90% pedos to 10% NATO agents then the other government does not know if the guy who loged to the TOR website is an agent or some local pedo or crazy.

This is why NATO needs shit loads of pedos on the TOR website.

However since the bandwidth of the TOR website is limited NATO gets really angry if there are to many users, look up how angry these TOR fags get when you try to torrent over TOR, they get like super angry and tell you to not do this since you will take the entire website down or overload it.

This is a real thing they get like super angry over this.
This is also when there are to many pedos the NATO uses the back doors to purge the pedos and bust them.

Correction: TOR is not one website it is a list of known servers all over the world you connect to. This is named obfuscation. Since all tor entry nodes are known.

Also the official TOR material will tell you that a """global adversary""" can circumvent tor literally in the official talks.

A """global adversary""" is one who controls the majority of TOR nodes. And the majority of TOR nodes are controlled by NATO who can read all you send over TOR (literally in the official materials).

So in the end TOR is like a NATO website where NATO can read everything you send on it (literally in the official materials) only with more obfuscation and extra steps.

only the TOR exit nodes are sus since it's mostly big institutions hosting them although that's because they can handle the legal aspects unlike an individual so not really sus

 No.15650

>https
YES. https literally ads another spyware system and tells the certificate authority what website you are going to. There is no reason to use https over http.

>only the TOR exit nodes are sus since

All of them are NATO operated. How stupid are you ? You think the government gives you free zero $ VPN ?

>big institutions hosting them

And these big institutions are NATO cover operations nothing more. At a minimum 95% of all tor nodes are NATO operated.

unencrypted http is not better than https, too many actors in between you and the web-server could inject shit into the website you want to look, not just malware but also advertisement and fraudulent fishing.
Some parts of the TOR network are likely to be compromised nodes, but it's not all bad.

 No.15657

>>15655
TOR is also literally designed in the first place to pick up the slack of compromised nodes and make sure data is secure despite them, and also you should be using TOR exclusively to access hidden services so exit nodes are irrelevant anyways

>unencrypted http is not better than https
This is nonsense.
> could inject shit into the website you want to look,
Like ?
Draw a picture and name these magic people. And while you do that try to not also fall for this.

Remember that the certificate authorities are gods here. A certificate authority can simply tell you that whatever IP is legitimate and this website and you basically get redirected to whatever website or IP the CA wants.

I also remind you that cloud flare is basically the biggest extortion racket and biggest man in the middle attack that ever existed. Basically how your traffic looks is this

YOU
Domain name
Cloud Flare
then the real website.

So these magic people who will be injecting on the internet backbone level can also have a compromised CA who will do all of that. you need to stop repeating reddit security advice or think that the internet can be fixed with new tech. The only way for you to have secure communication is to know peopel in person and use vera crypt containers to send messages using a password you exchanged outside the internet.

Only this is not reddit cool. Basically there will never be any technology that makes your internet connection secure with total strangers.

>As Levine shows, surveillance wasn't something that suddenly appeared on the internet; it was woven into the fabric of the technology.

I was suspecting that in the 80s the government planned the internet as a surveillance technology and to control people. It is a theory of mine. Basically the 90s
<Oh my god we are the government and we literally do not understand how the internet works.
Was basically fake to build up the internaut culture and get more people on the internet.
And after 2010 the trap started to close and sniffle everything.

This feeds into other theories I have like software companies letting piracy happen, movies and software are pirated basically by the government and thrown onto the internet as bait to get people to use it.

>>15664
>literally everyone knows the internet came out of DARPA lmfao,

There is a difference between the powerful internaut interpretation of

OK. And ?
The theory is that in the 80s and definitively in the 90s if not in the 2000s the government would realize that that the internet can be made into a surveillance tool. I do not buy the
<Muh during the Vietnam war
Shit however anyone in the 80s who understands computers (remember we are talking usenet level of TXT postings here) understood the power of knowing when you posted something and in what location and you doing this more can be used to spy and control you.

So what is the alternative ?
The theory that in 2010 the government realized this can be used for surveillance ? Possible. I give you that. The internet has one of the worst designed ideas all culminating in a nightmarish government control all the black parts of the internet are nothing more then a cover for NATO agents and NATO operations.

Whatever your theory this is the reality we live in.

If the TOR project wanted to fight censorship they suicide bomb the US government.

While everyone and their mother on the american internet want to fight the "Russian propaganda spam online"

If other government does it it is CENSORSHIP if the US government does it it is FIGHTING DISINFORMATION AND PROPAGANDA.
