Oh, I do! I have an according behavior protocol in place since many years both for telephone and internet.

Even most banking transfers I do manually, not automatically or via PC-banking. Some things, though, cannot be avoided (like paying electricity or the health insurrance via automatic debit teansfer - it's mandatory). EC-card I use very rarely, credit card almost never (only for internet buys where I have no alternative), and payback cards and such nonsens I reject alltogether.

If you have any more tips for this "paranoid" over here, I'm a happy listener!

the bad thing is that the young ones simply do not get raised in sufficient knowledge about these things. they get trained and streamlined for uncritical naivety regarding privacy and data protection. that way they serve the function that market and control wants them to fulfill, and cannot even imagine that maybe the way of going that they know could be put in question. They cannot even imagine why one eventually may want to do that.

Nice article, btw, although I did not fully understand the technical part in part 1, but the conclusions from it I got. Now I go to the rest of part 2.
