They are even part of paying for the massive underwater cables between continents that all internet traffic runs through.

They took everything over.

It’s the most extensive surveillance network in the world.

Except that instead of an authoritarian government using it to totally control the learned populace, they are showing you ads.

We’ve still got a way to go before 1984. If it did happen, you wouldn’t be able to discuss it.

Who is accessing the cables/data has never been more important, it’s literally the difference between being in or out of reach of the law.

Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules
2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of “peasantry” to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can’t quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

Please report posts and comments that break these rules!
