GOL Supports the Reset The Net Campaign

By - | Views: 12,201
We here at GamingOnLinux.com have decided to show our support for the Reset The Net campaign and join the fight against mass surveillance of NSA, GCHQ and the likes.

This mass surveillance is done using exploits and wire tapping. Reset The Net promotes applications that allow encrypted and secure communications to stop this. The campaign has listed many different apps, extensions and services you can use to improve your privacy. You might already be familiar with some of them, like Tor and Pidgin for example.

We at GOL believe that privacy is important and these mass surveillance operations are a danger to the freedom and openness of the Internet. We encourage you to take a look at their list and try some of their options not only for yourself but also for the rest of the Internet.

Mass surveillance will not go away on its own, we have to make it stop. By making it difficult for them to intercept and listen to our communications it will become impossible for them to continue their operations and they will have to find other ways of enforcing the law and protecting people, and hopefully those ways will be more legitimate and more acceptable.

I'm a Linux gamer from Finland. I like reading, long walks on the beach, dying repeatedly in roguelikes and ripping and tearing in FPS games. I also sometimes write code and sometimes that includes hobbyist game development.

article_rss.php could/should see that it's accessed via https and could/should modified all URLs to say https, then.

Ditto with images within the item's descriptions.

Also, your [code]-Tag is broken. It shouldn't HTML-entity-fy <, > and ".

Wow! Google is backing this too. We're in good hands

PS. The ultimate weapon to fight internet censorship and protect your data as is would be VPNs. As long as you're not logging into accounts that can't be traced back to you on said VPN as well, it will also make you anonymous on the net (no one can find you)

Quickest way to do this is TOR.

If GOL was really serious about this, GOL would remove and disconnect from anything Facebook.
