Privacy, the World Wide Web and YOUR government
As our current theme involves technology, hypa has decided to take a look at your privacy on the internet.
While you might think that your use of the internet is a private matter, and that the web sites you visit are confidential, you may not realise that all western governments (ie. all those with the computing power to do so) keep a record of all telephone calls that leave their borders.
This means that even though your connection to a foreign site may take a very circuitous route, your government will undoubtedly have logged it and traced it back to your home/office phone number.
So remember, only visiting domestic sites can really guarantee your privacy.
