    One day there will be a worm that goes around the internet and will be able to link each comment and/or post to the actual physical person that made them. A global database will be created where anyone can look up an individual person and see everything they’ve posted on the internet, even if it was behind an anonymous username.

      I don’t doubt that. And I do fear it. And I’m pretty sure they’re already doing it, but the Mass public doesn’t have access to it yet, because every time I establish an account somehow Google tries to get involved. You know Google could be that worm to connect everything.

      I don’t like it because I thrive in anonymity and although I never do anything wrong (like literally if you run a background check on me, it comes back squeaky clean)

      whatever the case, I just feel more freedom with anonymity, you know what I mean? That’s why I try so hard to not affiliate all my new usernames with Google, but it’s all tied together because even if you try to separate Google from anything, they still find a way to get in there.

        You can’t hide secrets from the future, with math you can try, but I bet in the future they laugh at the half assed schemes and algorithm you amassed to enhance your cryptographs from the past

    I’m sure they’d be thrilled to look into my wanting better turn signals for my car and turn signals at all for my bike.

      And I learned by watching the news in cases like Jared fogle, nothing can actually ever be deleted from hard drives & clouds. Even everything we’ve ever posted to Reddit and thought we deleted it, everything is always available somewhere for the experts to find.

      • Stuff can absolutly be deleted. If you overwrite the stuff that was previously saved there it’s gone. The point is that cloud providers often just don’t delete your stuff. And whatever you do your network provider allways knows what you search for.

          • Oh most social media probably keeps a copy. But your search history is usually stored locally, so it’s possible to delete that. Your internet provider only has a history of all sites that where visited via your internet connection and is unable to backtrack something to a specific device.

    Not in the slightest. I don’t care if they know my darkest kinks. That’s life. Everyone has something out of the ordinary that appeals to them. I owe no one any explanation for it. Nothing I enjoy is illegal so let them see.

      It honestly baffles me that so many people feel so ashamed of liking porn when they logically know that nearly everyone else likes it too.

        honestly if the people I know in daily life knew some of the porn I’ve, um, enjoyed, they would never look at me the same way again, I would have an identity/existential crisis, have to leave town and start all over again rebuilding new relationships with all new acquaintances

          That’s weird of them… you know they like the same porn, right? Masturbation is a private activity so the porn you watch is your business alone - unless it’s made without consent (including cp and beast because they’re unable to consent).

            Porn is unhealthy, it warps the human mind by interfering with the way our brains are wired to form and maintain human relationships. Anyone who still loves looking at porn and won’t admit that it is a sad pathetic tragic replacement for human relationships, may be already too far gone.

              Ooooh, so you made this question as a bait because you’re a judgemental asshole. Porn is fine for most people, if it isn’t for you then feel free to abstain - but fuck off with your puritanical bullshit.

              Thats someones interpretation, certainly not yours either. You could say that anything you do “interferes” with something you would otherwise do. Ate a store-bought sandwich? That “interefered” with the way your brain is wired to hunt the food yourself.

    My recorded search history is so boring. If I have to search for anything sketchy or where I wouldn’t want to be inundated with ads related to the search, I do it incognito so the search isn’t stored.

      Your recorded history may not be stored locally. Would be shocking if Google didn’t have some way of de-anonymizing searches.

    Nope. If anything they see shocks them, a) that’s their problem, not mine and b) serves them right for snooping

    my search history is just programming/server admin stuff so its likely they wouldn’t care/ wouldn’t understand or would just get plain bored really quickly lol
