Prism Break

[Peter Lemkin]

Prism-break doesn't recommend Cannonical's Ubuntu because it contains Amazon ads and data leaks by default.

Shame on Cannonical!...that is not their stated ethic.....:moon: I can't say for their iPhone product, but on my Ubuntu on my PC, I JUST turned off all recording of data [the option exists] under the privacy setting.....:mexican: I'll explore this further...their privacy policy is a bit unnerving compared to what I thought it would be http://www.ubuntu.com/privacy-policy

With MS, there is really nothing one can do. Just a personal note. I had a potentially very important, never publicly released JFK assassination-related photo. I had it on several places on my computer - each was named differently, each was in a folder in a different location, named differently. This was before I used Ubuntu and was using Windows-7. Once, just after I was kicked off of the EF I went searching for the photo [as Jack White, one other person, and I were working on what information could be gleaned from it - and attempt to determine if it was 'information' or 'dis-information' before public release], and all copies had been removed [folders were intact and all other photos left alone!] by some invasive personalized malware purpose-built for removal of this photo from my computer! NB - I have it back, however, and can't say how - here. The 'former' intel operative who gave me the photo in an email stated that the photo had something to do with my being removed from the EF - but I can't prove that in any way. They also claim they have been 'punished' for having given it to me and, in fact, this person who was once very active on several JFK forums has been nowhere seen posting, and has even taken down parts of their own website on related matters, from about one month after that picture was taken off my computer. Beware! Store sensitive items offline!

Ideally, one should have two identical computers. One online; the other offline.....
