Who believes in internet anonymity, or any other form, for that matter?

In response to a post on the beginners thread, I showed that the Tor browser is 80% funded by the US and Swedish governments. So try Tor if you like, but with the US gov behind the wheel then just how anonymous do you think you could be? Zero. THEY know you're every move.

And so now the NSA is writing code for Android (http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2013-07-09/nsa-has-inserted-its-code-android-os-bugging-three-quarters-all-smartphones) so that everyone will feel so much better. Are they spying on you? You decide.

How long before Ubuntu mobile is compromised, if it isn't already?

There is no such thing as online anonymity. Even TOR isn't 100% anonymous.

How I take it, who cares if online isn't private. Online, after all, is a public place. If you don't do anything illegal or stupid, no one will care. It's not like the government has people sitting behind a computer screen laughing at you for your failures. All they care for are government threats and such. So be behaved, and you have nothing to worry about.
