what are you so afraid of that you feel the need to go through all this effort of constantly deleting accounts

I have the complete opposite views as OP, but I do the same thing. Imho in the near future all internet comments will be collected, archived, and analyzed, and most identities will be revealed. But at least by using new accounts with weak passwords for each comment, I can maintain some level of plausible deniability.

I hate to burst your bubble, but a modern AI can identify all your accounts and link them together into a nice profile to sell the data.

You'd have to be really fucking good to fool them, or lucky to be irrelevant.

The US politicians and Military are talking incessantly since 15 years+ that they want everyone to have an "Internet ID" card, that would be put into the router/modem so that everyone is using their real name, that or "less invasive" ISP software where you have to identify yourself, otherwise you will not be allowed in, even in if you pay a crazy amount for a fibre to home 300/300 connection like I do now. Thankfully I'm up north...if it ever comes to that, I'll only be reading on the internet, I already reduced my participation in forums where I was a mod even to maybe twice a month visits. Only reason left to keep it is to keep contact with friends/family, some gaming, and the obvious "piracy" that they encourage us to do here, especially since the 2005 Supreme Court decision that allows all Canadians to share music files with anybody, which is the only reason why CD-R's (they have a tax on them) are more expensive than DVD-R/DVD+R)....also why BD-R's are so expensive, got 3 Verbatim 50gb blu-rays and it was 25 bucks.

Also that didn't take into account the whole lot of people with car stereos that read file DVD's, so one can have 10-20 albums on one disc...I got that way back in 2004.

Why must everything you don't understand be motivated by fear?

[–]newguy 3 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

Because that's almost everyone's primary motivator when they're doing unnecessary things to protect themselves?
