Options for folks who value their privacy and anonymity, listed in decreasing orders of security:
1 Join an Amish community while remaining offline and off the grid. Churning butter is every bit as much fun as a session of Minecraft.
2 Design your own computer hardware and software that you can trust, and remain disconnected.
3 Use old stuff from before the invention of malware, and remain disconnected.
4 Put your faith in Linux or other open source OSes (in the belief that no one would bury malware in obscure, community developed SW), and remain disconnected.
5 Go online to only 'safe' sites, trusting, with trepidation, the latest security updates from your favorite vendor. Firewalls are like castles, unbreachable.
6 Caution is for sissies! Bank online and bare your soul on Facebook with gusto. After-all, 99% of the world can't be wrong!
7 "The new world order can't arrive fast enough! 10,000 years of human history has become boring and stale." Just don't forget to upload your mind when the moments right.
Heh, I just had to chime in. I did some volunteer work with the Amish and Mennonites recently up in Detroit and ugh... ya, those old assumptions about the Amish are a little out dated. Some of them use electronics, mind you they generate their own power, but they use electronics. Some Amish like groups even have Facebook. And as a matter of fact, they are not all Communal, and some don't farm but work at the local factories instead.
