Did you consider your privacy invaded any more after the third time than the first?

You are never going to cross a border anonymously. The extra checks are to prevent people crossing borders under a false identity. If you are travelling under your own identity, then you are no less private than you ever were. They’re just taking extra precautions to prevent people from using false identities.

Excellent! Thank you!

How can you buy things with monero? What merchants (online or in person) accept it?

When I search YouTube for GNU Taler, it gives me the same video with the same timestamp on the red bar. (273 seconds) It’s not where I stopped watching it, I’ve never watched it. It’s just the part of the video where they start talking about GNU Taler.

Unless I’m missing something, the timestamp in the URL (t=273s) jumps the video to 273 seconds into the video. The link itself is what remembers where to start the video.

Ok, I’ll give you that. But don’t you agree there are certain aspects of privacy one must forego to live in a modern society?

I was being facetious to make a point. There is a limit to the amount of privacy that one can achieve while still residing within a modern society. As with all things, it’s a personal choice. Everyone has a limit up to which they are comfortable surrendering their privacy. You can be tracked and recorded even walking the streets in many cities, and in most retail stores. How far is one willing to go to be private?

They have cameras in the bookstores with facial recognition

I’m sure Edge is exempt, and will continue to switch itself to the default browser whenever it feels like it.

Just put the porn on the government websites. Problem solved.

Is there a place you can access these yearbooks, because I’d really like to see mine.

I go a step further and install uMatrix, and then only unblock the resources that are essential for a site to work right.
