Hi,<br>yep, good idea,<br>and I guess, before the tools,<br>a more contextual explanation of why not to use main stream social media<br>and what is at stake...<br>a but in the mind of how to bypass internet censorship<br>(but here... how to by pass internet bigbrotherhood :-) )<br>
<br>so thumbs up too <br>anne<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2012/2/1 mick fuzz <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:mickfuzz@clearerchannel.org">mickfuzz@clearerchannel.org</a>></span><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

<br>
Also we would like to add stuff on diaspora / friendica<br>
and search engines like <a href="http://duckduckgo.com/" target="_blank">http://duckduckgo.com/</a><br>
which have a better privicy policy<br>
but does anyone actually know them? do we just trust them because they<br>
say they don't log ip addresses?<br>
<br>
Also for a good laugh check<br>
<br>
* <a href="http://skipity.com" target="_blank">http://skipity.com</a><br>
<br>
they're pretty aware about privacy issues. check their privacy policy!<br>
<br>
nice one<br>
