@salute @Razor @Bornubus could either of you enunciate what you view as a worst case scenario that could arise if our data on this forum is used against us? Apart from our views that are already public, what are the other types of data that the forum collects from its users and what way could they be misused? I can only think of IP address, and even its role is limited and vague. India uses a dynamic IP system so someone's IP doesn't necessarily give a direct home address, at least to the forum admin. I can be probed and traced by intel agencies, but then again, why do you think anyone on this forum might get into trouble? no one here is talking more shit than, say our politicians are speaking in the public. Is it justified, or is it just paranoia, good sirs?
The worst thing I might have said on this forum is perhaps recommending that India should use covert assets to kill Pakistanis. Can that get me in trouble?
@Sakal Gharelu Ustad any inputs from your side sir? is there a precedent where someone got into trouble for posting something on the forum? What does it mean when someone says 'untrustworthy mods' does it mean like mods who are sympathizers of a particular political/religious groups taking our IP addresses and harassing us in real life? if that is so then I would proactively curtail my participation on the forum and only browse like a spectator.
if only hackers or intel agencies find someone 'interesting' then they gonna look into that person,
if something about that person interest them like where he works or where he lives,
something useful to them,
then they gonna put that person at some list,
put him some category based upon their interest of that person,
then they gonna e-surveillance that person,
what you do on internet,which websites you surf,
they gonna be profiling the sh*t out of that person,
they gonna make profile about you,
what kind of person you are,
what are your beliefs,opinions,
this profiling happens to everyone,
as you punch keywords like missile,islam,isis,.............
so what makes you special for them to take interest about you,
if no then intel guys not gonna waste their time,
hackers are mostly after money.
