I don’t think that Googles slogan “Don’t be evil” still applies. Or perhaps it is meant as a command to its users. That may very well be what we all misunderstood all these years.<\/p>\n

Anyway, I came across the screenshot below\u00a0the other day while browsing\u00a0with\u00a0a TOR<\/a> connection. But what’s most interesting is, it happened while I tried to watch a video of the punk band “Pumpanickle<\/a>” whose member “erdgeist<\/a>” is one of the more vocal and active members (even spokesperson?) of the CCC<\/a>\u00a0 who does an incredibly good job at keeping his real name private. Rightfully so, I’m not criticizing him for that!<\/p>\n

But what I am saying is, that people who are very very deeply embedded into the whole technology culture are at a great advantage to the rest of us. And usually they come across as somewhat arrogant when they talk about technology in general and specifically security and privacy. I personally think that they should step up, use their knowledge and actually help and guide people instead of having this underlying\u00a0snide\u00a0stance of: oh well, educate yourselves and you’ll be fine. This isn’t feasible for many\/most people and the hacking community, if they’re serious about caring for society at large, need to recognize and live up to their responsibility.<\/p>\n

Ramble over.<\/p>\n
