Telcos "Selling Realtime Ability To Associate Web Browsing With Your Name & Address"

As somebody mentioned, to break free you have to remove "everything".

If you logged into an old account "once" everything else is instantly compromised.

It's because all of those devices at the very least share your IP address. That IP address is tied to a user through his ISP. Those allocation of IP addresses are known when you are using it. I know, I was the network administrator for the ISP and it is how we turned people over to the FBI. FBI calls and we had to say who it was using that IP at the time.

This I am posting via a virtual machine. I have read a great deal about it but still don't know if the VM can pass along uniquely identifying information about the hardware and software underneath by way of the virtual machine. Which would identify you of course.

remember on Star Trek TNG when they would fly up to a planet and scan it for life forms I wonder was that invasion of privacy?
