The problem is that there's nobody that rules the entire internet. Without a single body to tell everyone what to do that responsibility devolves down to the owners of the equipment. The UN, the US and pretty much all of the world Governments would dearly love to change that, but they haven't been able to and aren't likely to anytime soon.
As for the internet and privacy, you don't have any. Your ISP tracks and logs alsorts of stuff, as do other organisations. The only way to maintain absolute privacy on the internet is not to take part in it.
That answer boils down to "fuck you, and the horse you rode in on".
I think you've been outed for doing something that most of the members dont agree with, and you dont like it.
Personally I was quite surprised to receive Bret's PM. Yes, I green rep'ed Mort's post on the thread of doom, but only because I thought it was well written. And as I said to Bret in response to his PM, thats why, and I have no issue buying from QMoto, or with the products or service I ahve received from him.
But making that information available to him, so he could see what others who THOUGHT they were doing something in private? bad form.
Poor show, old man, poor show.
But, its the internet, its not like its real, or important, right?
I thought elections were decided by angry posts on social media. - F5 Dave
