How safe is your computer from big brother.

Computor privaticy, how much information do you think or willing to let the government know about you and what, see, do on your computor. Let you into a little secret. You let them know everything from the sites you visit to the accounts you keep, even those naught sites.

 

How are they doing it.  I was watching youtube about a man who exposed micro soft selling information to the USA government in the name of war on terror. Attach is the video.

 

How they are doing it is through the privicy options on your computor. I will incude how to switch it off, in another attached video. After doing it myself an unsual thing happened, at 7 o'clock I got a phone call from what I thought was my provider, an indian woman spoke asking if I had any problems with my computor whether it was slow starting up the net or my msn program. Then she hang up when I started asking questions, on why she rang. Now I am not saying its some conspirsy but, I would of thought if someone was phoning you you would want to know why.

 

Micosoft is a private company that is selling and using your information to the government of the USA, Now if they are doing that in the name of secrity issues, which is against the law in this country. Then what is stopping them from selling on to other government agencies, banks, multinations and so on. Or the USA government selling it on.

 

Do you want the tax department looking at your books, or your kids photos. Personnal letters. You name it.

I got a similar call from a man who had an accent, just from watching the second video!!!!!!!! The problem is not Microsoft - but may be connected in someway to these videos!!! It doesn't make sense to me - but the only thing I did was watch the second video.

I know for a fact that credit card and banks are selling information to corpations. It is just one step away from governments doing the same. If its anything you can trust your government, to keep your private information safe for a price. Meaning if they are getting into bed with private or public companies in the why they are writing their policies. In other words you give your private information freely and have to pay to keep it, that way. Which would make you pay through your taxs, pay to put your paper work in, pay the fee for the approval and pay for privacy of information.

Hi Richard and Bristow:
I think it is important for everyone to be careful with their personal information.
This technology is fairly new and criminals will look for ways to exploit info.
Be careful...
Thanks,

Thank you for your consern, but my point is governments using it without permittion for profit, or creating laws to use it for profit, without your consent. Big brother as Richard said he got a phone call for watching a video. American FBI and CIA now spying on Canadians?

Info on Computer Repair Telemarketing Scams - this is what they tried on me. I hung up within 5 seconds. I don't think the FBI is running a computer repair scam.

Yes your right, I got another phone call this afternoon, from them too, told them to f off. But they got our phone number to do the scam, which proves some thing. I been doing my own research, and in the end its up to each idvual to make up his their own mind. Governments have attendancy to throw radical ideas and gauge the reaction throw leaks and hearsy or use an event to push throw policies. Which as been proven again and again. Now they don't bother, the people have given us the mandate to rule. As a Queensland permier said, as she sold everything that the state owned.

Foreign Workers Fill Jobs Young Canadians Avoid: CFIB

Nine in 10 small businesses using Canada’s Temporary Foreign Worker Program say they cannot fill those positions with local employees, according to new research from the Canadian Federation of Independent Business. The CFIB said in a release Tuesday that many of the jobs most commonly filled by temporary foreign workers involve overnight shifts, heavy physical labour, outdoor conditions, seasonal schedules or rural locations — work conditions many young Canadians are reluctant to accept. Nearly half of surveyed youth said they would not seek jobs requiring regular overnight work or frequent heavy physical effort. More than one-third said they would avoid mainly outdoor positions or jobs paying at or near minimum wage, the CFIB release said. Harvesting labourers account for about 32% of temporary foreign worker positions in Canada. Other common occupations include nursery and greenhouse workers, cooks, livestock labourers and food service supervisors. Location is another major b
