I think THE BEST WAY to try and limit spying so ONLY YOUR ISP SEES YOUR STUFF is to use OLDER STUFF from before the intrusive phase started.... (Software,etc) Then you know nothing you use is spying on you.... (The only thing you can get away from is your ISP (very easily anyway))
Microsoft started locking down Windows,taking away things the end user could do with the SP4 update on Win2000 .... (All OS's before that are in the clear as far as privacy,end user customisation,etc)
Its important to be able to MAINTAIN any privacy you still can,especially now!!
That's true of some applications, but the internet has changed and has become a super-spy. You're still on the internet, and you're not safe on your old system unless you disconnect entirely.Quote:
