@TheGnuMaster The site is hosted through donations. At currant usage and pricing we have something like a decade worth of funds available to pay for hosting and system administration.
We do not and never will exploit data to make money, any private data will forever remain private.
@scottnesbitt@mastodon.social Congratulations! I did the same.
I would like to ask you in the interest of transparency.
How do you support this website?
How can you afford to host this website and our data and why?
If the capitalist principle of exploiting our data for profit when we aren't paying a fee in Euros or Dollars isn't happening like on Facebook or Twitter.
Merry Christmas
Fröhliche Weihnachten

Google shut down a data analysis system it was using to develop a censored search engine for China.
"Leaks about the plan and the extraordinary backlash that ensued both internally and externally appear to have forced company executives to shelve it at least in the short term."
Keep standing up to the giants. https://theintercept.com/2018/12/17/google-china-censored-search-engine-2/

To improve user experience, most of the tech industry relies on analyzing their users’ behavioral data to drive decision making. Mechanisms for collecting this data are often invasive and performed without consent from users, who may never be told their behavior is being analyzed for this purpose. The same means used to collect behavioral data is also responsible for aiding the surveillance economy.
Tor does things differently.

In a crushing blow to digital rights, Australia has joined the UK in claiming the right to secretly compel tech companies to re-engineer software and hardware so it can be used to spy on their users. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2018/12/new-fight-online-privacy-and-security-australia-falls-what-happens-next
Please let me know what you think of the following.
Topic: #VPN
I contacted Express VPN to ask them about who runs the company, who is behind it.
What I believe to be a perfectly reasonable question.
This is the full transcript of our conversation.
Me:
I can't find any information people's names
about who is behind expressvpn
I would hope you can understand it is important to know who you are
entrusting with your data
Expressvpn said: We don't necessarily have a list of people's names on the
website. Our business is about privacy and security. We never keep traffic logs,
and we also don’t keep any logs that might enable someone to match an IP and
time-stamp back to a user. We work entirely on the basis of shared IPs,
meaning that a single IP does not track back to an individual user. For the
purpose of improving network resource allocation, we record aggregate data-
transfer amounts and choice of server location, neither of which are data points
that can identify a specific user as part of an investigation.
I said: Are you able to tell me who the CEO is?
Expressvpn said:
No, sorry.
I said:
Even the tor project shows that kind of transparency.
Expressvpn said:
I see.
