Think long and hard before relying on an anonymizer ... all you can be certain of is that your info stopped at their server. You have no clue what THEY did with it after that or even that their services are not simply a way of identifying people who are acting like they have something worth hiding.

I much prefer the idea of GPG (or other encryption schemes such as TrueCrypt) being more commonly used. The sheer volume of encrypted material would soon overwhelm the ability to decrypt it or even to identify useful targets to investigate.

The practical problem with this is that the people I most often write emails to are not geeky enough to understand either the need for encryption or the practical means to achieve it.

Stumble! sent me to this site. So that is a two-edged sword, no?

Thanks for the information, Nelson. This is worth sending the link on to my friends. Everyone should be aware of this.

Also, just about anything that installs a toolbar in your browser. StumbleUpon, Google, Yahoo.. Read the fine print in the user agreements. They watch and record anything in your browser window.
