So censorship is being called privacy protection. Doublespeak at its finest
Seroiusly, on one hand privacy protecrion is good. It is unbelievable what a load of spyware you get stored on your PC just by clicking on an ebay, Google or any link. A hundred cookies etc. in no time, and then you get your "tailored" (read: spied out) advertisements, along with tailored news especially for you or the target group they think you belong to.
However this clunky implementation by the authors of said websites "following" the DPRG is a joke. Either they drew the plug entirely, or you have to "accept all", or you have to spend an hour by choosing which cookies you accept, and which not, and who shall get the information.
Every fn time you get on this site.
I usually just click on "accept all" and then instantly wipe all cookies, settings and stored info with various tools. But it really is too much fuzz meanwhile. Use the net and you can be sure anything you click on or visit is being monitored, and stored. No privacy, no anonymity. And it is not that you give those informations voluntarily as with Facebook et al, it is simply taken from you.
So it is general spying like in China, only the direct results vary. Yet.
