I'm the judgment broker who writes often. Those old-school computer privacy and safety guidelines all remain very great ideas: Back up your computer, keep track of and protect your passwords, change your passwords once in a while don't click any unknown links, or visit wild web sites, or download and open goofy looking file attachments coming from anyone.
Some people go a few levels more, and use software applications like TOR or I2P, trying for increased privacy. I would bet that if any kind of conversation, web site, or password-enabled web site interests any government entity, or gets hacked; nothing has privacy.
Do you know that each word of all emails and conversations, is currently being recorded? Nothing in the electronic/internet universe is private. It all starts somewhere, and it ends on your computer screen. As middleman, are companies and/or government entities which record everything sent in e-mails, blogs, forums, private messages, text messages, faxes, phone calls, voicemails, and all other forms of communication that is digital. I wouldn't be surprised if our government can see into "private" I2P and TOR connections.
Beginning around September of this year, the National Security Agency (NSA)'s data center in Utah, is going to become running. It will cost around 2 billion dollars, and it is designed to intercept, decode, store, and analyze; vast swaths of our world's communications as they travel via satellites, and underground or undersea cables of domestic and worldwide networks.
Running through NSA's servers and routers and then stored inside of nearly unlimited database storage, is going to be every kind of communication. NSA's system includes the complete contents of private emails, cell phone calls, and web search results, as well as all kinds of personal data trails, parking receipts, travel itineraries, bookstore purchases, etc. That will become close to a "total information awareness" program started at the time of the first term of the Bush administration. That program was first killed by Congress, back in 2003; when it started an outcry because of its potential to invade Americans' privacy.
The new NSA server is described at: http://nsa.gov1.info/utah-data-center/index.html. The storage limit for this new NSA Utah Data Center is measured in "yottabytes".
A yottabyte is a thousand zettabytes, or 1,000,000,000,000,000 gigabytes. A zettabyte is a thousand exabytes. A petabyte has a thousand terabytes. An exabyte has a thousand petabytes. A terabyte has a thousand gigabytes.
Some people will do anything to attempt to maintain their privacy online. Certain online stores selling private things, try to take steps to help keep their customer's info more secure. Some host their web servers in Iceland, which has very strict privacy laws. The FBI once went to Iceland on a fishing expedition, trying to investigate WikiLeaks, and was ordered to leave Iceland. Certain vendors don't take orders over the web, and shred the customer's information and mailing labels, when the orders are sent.
