I think its an invasion of privacy and shows a lack of trust

This is really not a joke any advice. I really believe in personal privacy

mommacat asked:


I trust my daughter, she is a good girl and talks openly to me. She has her own computer and cell phone. I do not go through her things, read her emails, check her phone messages or read her journal. I believe that shows respect to her as I want in return with my phone/emails. But her Dad and step mom go through her phone-which is technically mine-read her journals and go through her drawers. Then she gets in trouble for what they find that she wrote to her friends or about her feelings. Is there a happy medium? Am I being too trusting or is her dad/step mom out of line going through her things?

How do I have them removed? I’ve tried removing them through deleting them through the disk drive and Control panel and even through the Recycle Bin. But every time I restart my computer they pop back up. What can I do??

Being negotiated by the United States, the European Commission, and many other civilized countries. If passed in July at the 34th G8 summit, you could be randomly searched without a warrant for illegal files; mp3s, movies, images, whatever it is, wherever it is, including your mp3 player, laptop, or phone. Since it is an sole executive agreement, it is not subject to judicial or legislative approval initially, and will remain in force as long as the judiciary or legislature doesn’t make laws specifically prohibiting the agreement. Proxies (anonymizers) will no longer be allowed. All online privacy tools will be taken away. There will be a crackdown on copyrighted material, and the penalties will be great. A great many torrents will be illegal. There will apparently be a database detailing internet users’ browsing habits, subjecting them to electronic searches at airports, borders, or anytime they feel like it.

Be aware of this.
It will take effect before the end of 2008. A broad international organization will be created to manage the treaty and enforce its rules. This is being done mainly because of campaign contributions by the music and entertainment industries to politicians. There isn’t much hope of it not passing; the Office of the United States Trade Representative is one of the main proponents of it, and they get to choose whether to approve it or not.

This isn’t good. Check out Wikipedia and EFF: this will be the end of the internet and of online freedom as we know it.

Other thoughts?
