This is one of the reasons why I eventually want to ditch all electronics and have a nice mountain cabin somewhere. I'd likely still need to use the internet but I could limit it to once a month at the town library most likely.
And I've been over this with you over and over again...with prime examples.
You can only reduce your statist footprint...not eliminate it. They will find you.
You think the public library is going to be secure? That's a government line you're using.
I don’t consider this a left or right issue. Privacy has disappeared no matter your ideology. Both parties are complicit in this loss. There is no going back. We have all become nothing more than algorithms to some internet marketer until they have bled you dry.
I would agree.
But I will continue to slam Blue when they blame the corporations in favor of the government.
I will continue to slam Red when they blame the government in favor of corporations.
They are the same thing people. The government creates corporations and the corporations own the government. It's a dirty incestuous relationship that can only be broken by having NEITHER.

Well I mean I'll still have to pay property taxes on the land I own as well but dropping out does seem very appealing as it gets harder and harder to have real privacy.
Insurance companies would love to have total access to everyone’s Medical History and records. They could use that info to determine all types of things and it would ALL be in your record forever.
Over $25 billion to modernize health information technology systems was included in the Obama Stimulus Package to start the ball rolling on this. I remember at the time that I warned all my friends to be aware that the Federal Government and Health Care/ Insurance Providers we’re aiming to build a Dossier on them. Turns out neither the Doctors or the Patients were too enthusiastic about the Obama Plan.
I dont like that federal law enforcement knows the details of my medical treatment, and what meds I taking, of course, this was all done under Obama, when they targeted opioid prescription drugs.
When I filled out my paperwork at my first visit to this doctor, there was a section where I could write in names of people I authorized to know the details of my treatment, I never put down the DEA or any other federal law enforcement agency.
Because I take a controlled substance (suboxone, GO figure?!!) DEA knows about my treatment and what Im taking!
If that isnt corruption right out in the open, I dont know what is...labeling Suboxone as a 'controlled substance'...DUH, its for getting people OFF heroin and drugs, there are not many reasons why such a drug would be 'controlled' unless they want to restrict people from getting clean, which is probably their goal anyway.
It's a temporary condition while energy is cheap. The vast infrastructure of the internet uses tremendous amounts of electricity, while the grid is starting to break down. Many hydroelectric dams are old and ready to burst. Growing global demand is meeting shrinking resources.

My buddy is down to property taxes living off grid in the mountains. Kudos to you for admitting that you still have to pay tribute to the throne.
I don’t think there is damn thing that is private anymore and that can’t be accessed by corporations even without your consent. There is nothing more personal than health information. Seems like our health is going the same way as marketing for a new car.
You can’t opt out of this new social contract. Is there any more living off the grid? I doubt it.
I share your sentiments, but I have to say that was another unbelievably stupid article. The obvious question that the Daily Mail did not answer is, "Are the medical data 'shared' along with the patients' names?"
Well just look at what they are doing with DNA databases. Your sister or cousin can test and you are basically now in the system.
