    I'm pretty good at not falling victim to this. I don't check facebook. I don't watch TV or the news. I don't listen to the radio. I have a suite of ad-blocking technology. My atten…

    The article got me thinking what might happen in a dystopian future where all networks are under tight control and surveillance. Well, there's already the dark web... But what abou…

    “Those are some lovely data packets you’ve got there. It sure would be a shame if they got lost on their way to your users.” There were a lot of good quotes from the article, but t…
