We’ve news…

To address your concerns in order of severity:

One: In the absence of updates and activity, detractors and shills have come out of the woodwork to try and imply that our information is somehow outdated, false or dangerous (without providing evidence to back up these claims) while advertising either their own services or those belonging to entities that are connected to certain groups and/or individuals known for selling stolen or common knowledge solutions. This is simply due to the fact that while privacy and security communities are growing, there are those who wish to exploit the fears and ignorance of people for profit by marketing and infiltrating said communities from the inside out.

Two: We’ve no connections to any corporations or have any (real) sponsors. Outside of our “sponsor page,” which is just us using SEO to our advantage and linking back to articles or those that’ve contributed, we’re working on our own time, out of our own pockets, and through research of our own or that contributed by viewers/readers/followers. That’s it, thus far, outside of several interested parties offering to help fund us indirectly VIA websites or apparel. While this is interesting to us, and could benefit us, we won’t accept any help until we can come up with a decent solution that’ll not only protect our potential benefactors but also us and our contributors.

Three: Yes, we are aware of several dozen groups, blogs, videos and activists who’ve directly and indirectly referenced us or our works. It’s in our FAQs page that people can use this information freely, even if they don’t credit us, ergo a non-issue as of now. We thank you, however, for notifying us and alerting us to these incidents as it allows us to further track the progress and awareness that’s coming from the PB.

Four: The reason for lack of updates and activity is due to the shortness of manpower. We’re losing volunteers and members in general. This isn’t due to a lack of interest or drive but a lack of time. We’re comprised of students, families and workers. A lot of our team can’t take time to work on pushing our guides as they have their own lives and schedules to contend with, and because we believe people shouldn’t try to live off privacy and security alone. This information should be free, always, ergo we won’t be making this our main source of income or time use unless one of us profits majorly from another project, come into wealth, or win the lottery. If, by some miracle, one of us comes into money then yes, there’ll be a permanent pace to the blog.

Five: Due to the toxicity and selfishness of the Tumblr community, and because of the odd updates on Tumblr, a lot of the add-ons and scripts used are no longer updated which makes the pic-spam and general queue content a lot harder to work with and push out. That content is by far the least of our concerns but we’ll work on pushing it through once again when someone has time.

Six: We’re not associated with any adult content based communities, websites, forums or chats. The many that exist linking to us do so out of their own freewill, and not because of anything we’ve said or done outside of creating privacy and security based content.

Seven: Like six, we’re not associated with any political groups, religious groups or similar groups. These groups can’t be stopped from using our content, and if you look at our FAQs page you’ll notice we’ve stated this information is free for all.

Finally: We may post some textual content once we finish sorting through the 3k+ emails and messages that we’ve in the backlog.

Listen, we’re all upset about Julian getting arrested

But where’s the damn drop? We were promised a drop. The Internet said there would be a drop. How can we properly be angry at the world’s governments when there are no drops? We want the dirty laundry already, Wikileaks.

But seriously, it sucks since Julian and Wikileaks did expose quite a bit of corruption and mishandling of basically everything by the governments.

Be like Sukarno -- Learn to not give a fuck when threatened with blackmail. Two points of control is guilt and embarrassment. While scrubbing your info and setting up red herrings helps, learning to have a MLF (My Last Fuck) attitude can help you too. Take your privacy and security seriously but don’t bug out the moment you hit an obstacle.

Quite a few of our followers, and some who’ve sent messages, have stated they tend to sit in front of computers all day. Take a break, do some exercises. Drink some water, chill on the caffeine. One of you got a bit too excited and sent us over 50 emails yesterday because of a potential new way to remove some information. We thank you for those emails but you should take a bit of a breather and decompress a bit, alright?

[paranoidsbible]

Whoever sent us messages

You’re ghosting, so we didn’t see what you sent.

Updates to opt-outs

Yes, we're going through all the messages concerning opt-outs to other sites. We're digging and rooting around to find as many solution as possible. Quite a few of you have brought up Golookup.com. Well, we found to optout @ https://golookup.com/support/optout That's one down for 2389 sites/databases linked to us VIA asks/messages/e-mails. Once we get at least a hundred of those cleared, we'll look into making an update to the moo.

Trust no one, not even your cat or printer.

FYI

We'll be adding more guides within time. Just be patient and keep sending us information and tips. We'll get around to answering our asks and emails and messages soon enough. Just be patient.

Not dead yet, just busy

Many of you have figured out by now that some of our team members are within certain industries (or have made educated guesses), mostly due to some of the content that we’ve posted. Well recently some of these members have gone professional and as such have less time to dedicate to our little project. This doesn’t mean they’ll abandon the mission though, just that it’ll be a bit of a pause between releases but this issue is a double edged sword as it has introduced some new information to us concerning the future of privacy and security for the average individual.

First and foremost, China’s Social Score (CSS) scheme is becoming a bit of a contagion amongst businesses that wish to promote certain behaviors and beliefs but also control their employees’ every waking thought and their personal opinions. Employee scores or (another term that we’ve heard) behavior scores are being mentioned at certain conventions (that won’t be named due to possible connections) where employees are given a number that can rise or drop which could lead to missed out promotions among other things like benefits. While the West (and a bit of the East) hasn’t officially dumped on human rights, quite a few businesses and groups (mainly from China) are already trying to sell programs and force this atrocious practice to companies through various conventions. While certainly a small afterthought to most businesses (mostly due to the small booths and/or how obscure they sound and look) it is making waves especially with the RFID controversy and discussions on how to track employees online. This could prove a potential issue especially to those concerned with privacy and security. Second, the term “Ghost” has been floating through the net for awhile in certain communities. It has now picked up some steam amongst businesses and certain groups. The term, depending on where you tend to shit post, usually means someone that’s hard to find online or someone who lacks a track(able) (digital footprint). Some groups and companies are now mentioning the “Ghost Employee” or simply put someone who lacks a recognizable social media presence or lacks anything that can be turned into a controversy. These Ghosts are being discussed as highly sought after employees that could be built up (through training) to become individuals within a company that can get things done or promote specific messages without being bogged down by (Social or Mainstream) media or by claims or controversial beliefs. Basically an individual that’s invisible, to the internet and the MSM, due to their lack of social media presence and controversy. Third, with the rumors of Microsoft’s pay-as-you-go OS where you’ll officially be tethered to their subscription service just to use their OS, there are now talks about it extending to hardware among other things. While nothing officially solid, the fact that it has been discussed at a certain convention... it shows how far companies are going to cut out jobs (to lower employee numbers) and to restrict and control not only their own employees but also the consumer/purchaser, and with the things we’ve been shown and told it looks as if we’re about to witness this invasive practice being incorporated into multiple day-to-day activities like driving, eating out, and even certain item within the home. What does this mean for us in general? Privacy and security communities at large must now, more than ever, become more welcoming to those of political differences and beliefs. The reason for this is that the potential future is no longer left or right but corporate and shadowy. Nearing the cyberpunk dystopian future that so many idolize, it’s time for people to form a united front within the free software movement that extends beyond the current political paradigm and move toward one of mutual understanding that if the average person loses their right to privacy then we’ll lose much more than just our right to watch, read or listen to what we want when we want. It’ll go past our right to not be documented and our data mined. It’ll even go beyond our right to draw, animate or write what we want. It’ll keep going beyond more and more until we’ve nothing left but what certain people in charge want for us, which means a whole lot of rights and freedoms will be lost. So what can we do? Become free competition. Provide free solutions to the software that costs money. Create alternatives to what’s currently out there. While this has been done and is being done, the process must be vamped up. People must try to not only participate but also anticipate potential changes or trends in order to stay ahead of the curve and gain more support from those not yet in the communities or are aware of the growing trespasses against our rights and freedoms.
