7. For anonymity and privacy you need to
secure all 3:
Secure your Client
Secure your connection
Secure your Web server
8. Client
If someone manages to install spyware on your machine they can see
everything you do on your client
So it’s your job to make sure there’s no spyware on your client
You are responsible to secure this, and you can--because you own it
Client Web Server
9. Connection
Someone performing a wire-tap can see everything you do online
If you want to remain secure you can encrypt the data flow
SSL connection to the Web Server or VPN would resolve this
Client Web Server

Client Web Server

Email

Chats
File transfers
Login activity
Social media Profiles
17. All stored here
And stored for eternity
Could include encrypted data (for decryption when future computing
power allows it)
Unfortunately, we don’t know anything for sure.
They have HUGE storage capacity and no qualms about storing data for
non-Americans…i.e. 80% of the users of these services
