Create an Anonymous Email Account?
« on: March 31, 2017, 06:35:08 PM »
Already I have several Emil accounts. But they soon get full of junk I do not need.
Now the USA government says companies can share e-mail data.

So now I want an account that has very little ion about who I and and what I like.

First,  I am not going g to give my real birthday.
Nor will I my real name, but an alias I remember. My friends won't care.
Now comes the hard part. No phone number. No way.I refuse.

How to Create an Anonymous Email Account

Not long ago, the sharing economy seemed to take over. Privacy was dead, and no one cared. But that was a pre-Snowden era. Now, for some, the need to go truly anonymous is more important than ever.

Have you done this?  :)

Congress reviewed an FCC rule which was set to come into effect later this year. This rule, which has never been in effect, would require additional consumer protections from ISPs in regards to Subscriber data.

Section 706 of the telecommunications Act already requires consumer protections of that data and privacy thereof.

As is, U.S ISPs still cannot track or sell your E-mail, search history, or even anything beyond the domain names you lookup. Doing so would violate U.S wiretapping law (18 U.S. Code § 2511).

Thank you for the correction, BC.
I did  a little research,  there has been laws already in place laws limiting the information Telecoms can share with others. (As you stated.) Some laws date back to 1998 and earlier.

A question. Why di the Washington Post make such a big deal about there scent thing?

That rag said; "Congress’s vote to eviscerate** Internet privacy could give the FBI massive power.."

Washington Post - March 30.


** I do not know what that means.   :(

ISP's cannot do anything the Media is stating legally...it's all political party nonsense...

Tha alleged legislation was authored under the Obama administration...and this Administration is simply wiping it off the books...

eviscerate**

** I do not know what that means.
To eviscerate someone or somethings is to remove its viscera (guts, entrails, bowels, intestines), that is, to to disembowel them or it.

eviscerate

I didnt know what this word was myself until I was Playing World of Warcraft as a Rogue around 2006 ... decided to look it up after seeing the deadly moves my rogue would unleash on the monster or PvP other player and damage numbers.

World of Warcraft also exposed me to all sorts of mineral names I had never heard of before like Moss Agate and Malachite when I was in Engineering profession as well as Thorium etc which I seen the periodic table so many times and never knew it was in it until looking back and looking for it specifically in which there it was [ 90 TH Thorium 232.03806 ]

And some people said years ago to me that Video Games will rot your brain...  ;D     I've actually learned a lot playing video games including history and names such as Wolfenstein Enemy Territory Platinum Edition which while it has the fake story lines, they actually used real Nazi names in it for Nazi's that were a part of World War 2 that I had otherwise never knew before, so I then google searched to read up on what was real from what was game story line etc.

eviscerate
It is mostly used in its figurative sense these days, that it to take the insides or important parts out of something leaving only the shell or skin or exterior, as politicians do to something they wish to kill off but can't be seen to actually do that.

This should actually be the new definition in Webster's if you ask me...

Well said.
