GOOGLE'S PRIVACY CHANGES- A SIMPLE INSTANT CURE FOR EVERYONE

Same old story,,,the will sadly go along with it,,if only ehhhh,,,,,

For those of you in the USA, are you aware of [link to www.whitepages.com?] A few days ago I was curious to see if friends and relatives were listed. One name I entered showed the full name and address PLUS the apartment number of a certain individual. Not good.

I called this person and the website erased this information immediately upon request.

Try dividing a companies value…like Google or FB…by how many are really, truly active and doing things / buying things via those sites.

They are paying quite a bit per head!

I wonder what the impact of the alternates noted in this thread will be over time. Will they turn stealth or "evil"?

Ixquick is better

I have a gmail account, use it on my tablet and a couple other places like Amazon. So think I'll change those to my other email and close Google altogether. I like to use ixquick for search also.

using a tablet is like being an open book to these corp/gov dataminers no matter what service you use from it.

I heard you then, Dan, set my homepage to it, been using startpage ever since, love it, thanks.

I haven't read after page 1, but I thought google owns startpage ??
iirc.....

DONE

not shillin btw, unless it was a couple of shills that posted the info I read??
hmmmmm

anyone confirm who owns startpage.com & I mean REALLY owns it

is this for real or BS?

I recently switched to Blekko as my search engine instead of Google.

So far its been great and I haven't missed the "other" search engine at all!

The main reason I chose Blekko instead of Startpage was because Blekko is not "enhanced by Google".

Check it out for yourself...

www.blekko.com

seems quite good so far

mail.com is worst that's AOL

So does this extend also out to Google Android smartphones?

Gmail alternatives:

[link to www.in.com]

Search engine: [link to duckduckgo.com (secure)]

hmmm ,this is what I get from Scroogle :(

Forbidden
so sorry...
Google is temporarily blocking this Scroogle server.

Please wait ten minutes before trying again.

If you REALLY knew how to play the game, you would not close those accts......and here is why.

Closing them only places you in a catagory of resistance, more likely to fight and could be labeled in an ill manner.

Instead, use the system like a "good" boy. But keep your privacy off the net period. Maybe an alter ego online, or some form of deception tactic. If you are going to be labeled, what would you want that label to be? Make it happen, live in privacy.

We should not put our lives out there so much. That is the simplest and most effective answer.

Try to buy a "non-smart" phone these days. Where is the basic cell phone with out the bells and whistles?

Ahh ha....know we are thinking

www.startpage.com
www.startingpage.com
www.ixquick.com

Are all the same. ???

smell something

suggest permanent bump and pin.

wth? Now I need to get a new phone too? :(

Here's another private search engine!
I hope everyone has such an amazing weekend!!
Love you guys!!

YES!

Apparently some people had trouble remembering the name Ixquick, so when noted privacy expert Katherine Albrecht went to work for them, she added the domains startpage.com and startingpage.com

Just like when you type in www.georgenoory.com, you actually go to www.coasttocoast.com

Ixquick's Startpage.com metasearch engine is owned by a Dutch company, Surfboard Holding BV [link to en.wikipedia.org (secure)]

I really like this type of thinking.

years ago I learnt that the best way to really screw up your bank manager if he wouldnt be helpful was to not "close" your bank account, but to meerley move your existing account to the same bank but in the next nearest town.

Thats when they will start pointing the guns at the manager, and you cop nothing for your efforts, in fact the next manager will probably be pretty careful with you when he learns on the grapevine what has happened to is nearby colleague!
very clever thinking.

mmm, BTW we should try to get this thread re-pinned again, lots of people are getting really goo info here and all for their own benefit.

I stayed up till 6am to help it stay active but eventually needed sleep...!

Can I respectfully request a few pin suggestions as a response to all the great submissions and info that is on here, everyone needs the chance to see this...thanks to everyone

Just a thought and keep this up on the front page so everyone can benefit...(please suggest a re-pin)

Why is it that companies start humble and greatful for anything that they might get, but when they grow and get big, they think that they are absolutely invincible and that they then somehow "inherrit" the power to dictate to the very people that made them succesful, how and what to think and behave?

I dont understand that...it is absolute arrogance at its best and from my view point, Id rather use a search engine that might be a bit antiquated rather than have my entire life profiled for someone elses monetary benefit.

When do they offer to pay me for being me?

And for which they can profit from...that is seriously sick BS.

sorry, no apolagies on this one, Im hard and fast on my rights.

Well I just took another bann hit for an hour or so.

No problems and no complaint...just GLP's software targeting me ...AGAIN...for using

[link to www.startpage.com (secure)]

it always gives a false IP address and it really does protect your privacy as discussed earlier.

so...

will a few of you please suggest that this thread get pinned again so that more GLP ers can get this benefit...there havent been anywhere near enough "viewers" on this thread to impact on Google's assasination of our privacy.

For crying out loud...they (google) actually connect with your EFF BEE EYE...is this what you want?

Thank you for your input...

This is what this thread is about....choices

And more importantly good ones.so Ive given you a karma for that...cheers

sexist I know...but I really like your Avitar...hope its you...might have a sweet dream about that...sorry my bad

OK, so back to the guts of all this...


Google is proposing that they will share your personal information that they have collected on you, based on your "viewing" habits.

This is firstly a grab for profit, and it is at your expense, have they offered to pay you for this ?
Yet its your work...!!!

So...there is the first scam


Next...

Since when does any internet provider get the right to operate for years....gain some or a lot of credibility, and then with ALL that information stored for years, think that they now can change the rules and revert to use all that collected information, which was formally protected, to now be used for their financial gain.

What a load of crock, at what point will we ever be able to trust ANYONE OR ANYTHING again...???


This is utter BULLSHIT...yep...I said it!!!

So what are you going to do now?


Here's that secure web browser again...

[link to www.startpage.com (secure)]

nobody has put up any serious objections to it as yet, so I suggest that its worth using it!

It has been good enough to get me banned from GLP twice since I started using it because of IP address changes.

Sorry to GLP, if there are any really savy programers around, you might like to contact TRINITY and offer an alternative solution to avoid these automated banns so that we can still use this browser and GLP at the same time...please offer some help here, it cant be that difficult.
