NCC1701A Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 PM threatens legal action against spoiled rice rumour-mongersImagine one day you log on to your favorite forum and instead of seeing your username and avatar, they have been replaced with your real photo, real name and internet user ID number. Your Facebook account and all social media and dating sites now have the same photo, real name and internet user ID number. Your horror grows as you realize this change has been applied retroactively to every post, photo and comment your have made from the first day you used the internet. Imagine a website that displays all your posts and comments by entering your internet user ID number to anyone, anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post chrisinth Posted July 17, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted July 17, 2013 There is little imagination needed really. If you are being investigated, by an organization (legal or not!) who have the resources, what you have described in your OP is what they will be seeing. That said, I assume you mean logging on and finding out that all the BS (or not) that we have been spouting over the years has an actual identity for all to see. The 6' 2" hansum man is actually a 5' frog yet to be kissed by the princess? The latest 'free-world' hero, Mr. Snowden has brought to the attention of said free-world a little of what goes on in the background, mentioning only a few popular sites & organizations. If you were one of the people who were surprised by these revelations, then you need to re-assess what you post, and who you pretend to be......... Next time you login to your on-line banking, they may ask for your TV username as a verification question.................. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

homeownership Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Lets assume you have heard of an IP address and host. This tells every website you visit where you are and you supplies you with internet services. The Internet Service Providers also know your name and address or mobile phone number. All of which can be traced instantly. Assume also, that you write a post saying that you were a millionaire and that you had not paid the tax in your home country, then it would be safe to assume also, that this information would be logged and sifted through a computer system, whereby it would be in an persons inbox. They would analyse your tax returns, bank statements etc to see if your claim could be substantiated. If everything was above board, then case closed move on, but what if you were lying, then what, it would be also safe to assume that you are either a pathological liar or that you have not paid the tax. The only way the authorities would be able to tell is by investigating further. I have heard of programs whereby the human characteristics can be analysed to put you into a category profile. This profile would be tell the authorities how likely you are to commit a crime, cheat on your wife, move home frequently, take drugs or abuse alcohol, abuse children on animals etc. You can be assured there is a computer that contains data, that knows far too much about you based on what you write online.

For your IP address (on your computer), it really depends if you are using dynamic or static............... Dynamic + good proxy = fairly safe surfing. Of course, there are 3rd party software programs available which will hide your IP on the net, but generally not from your ISP, as they provide your protocol............

kikoman Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 (edited) I would have an concern with the invasion of my privacy, but I post what I think and believe, I would have no problem if anyone knew who I am, that having been said, I would want to know the identity of those who answered my post to. Once I posted an opinion on the lack of quality of the US educational system, by the information I posted the city I was from and my elected office I held. One poster answered my post and stated my full name in the post, I never acknowledge that the information was factual, as I did not know who he was. Most posters hid behind the fact they can not be ID-ed by most users and become very brave in the responses and fabricated issues. You have to much time on your hands and a very wild imagination.

JLCrab Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 There are websites including Twitter where your ability to rank high on Search Engine results is tied to your providing your real name and affiliation. Plus, there are many circumstances where you will lose any potential gain that will accrue to your -- in my case -- NGO if you choose to be anonymous. However, on this site, I once divulged on my Profile page my actual circumstances and will not make that mistake again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
