My job is to collect data online and that made me a little paranoid. So here my tricks to protect your online privacy. All those online networking sites ask for your names but it not an obligation to give them YOUR REAL NAME AND ADDRESS! Webmail you shall use all the time and when you create an email account don't give your real names and address too! Just these two precaution will throw a wrench on any amateur trying to find dirt on you just by googling your name.
They will have to link you to your online nick and that could be hard this is how to make this even more harder! Only a fool register a printer warranty only an even bigger fool buy a printer or any hardware with a credit or debit card! Most printer leave trace on every page they print so forget shredding if you do something shady don't even own a printer!
They could get data from your ISP so to add another layer of security you could choose to never log on the net if it was not behind at least one TOR proxy node. They could seize your computer but you do a fresh Ubuntu install and formated everything 2 times a years and that happen to be now if you have warning that the government is coming for you format! Format! And format if it good enough for Cheney it good enough for you! Somebody even more paranoid will always boot off a USB stick or even better an SD card if the crap hit the fan a USB stick can easily be destroyed in 2 minutes and an SD card can be snap in 10 seconds you can even mail to yourself an SD card in a regular mail envelope!
Only an idiot would be doing something shady using a Microsoft or Apple product! I guarantee the government has back door access to any computer that is running a closed source OS! You want privacy go Linux! You should never enable automatic login and it always smart to have a log off shortcut on your desktop! Hell I known a few peoples who have a format everything shortcut on their own desktop! Setup a strong password, never print it and when your not using your computer log off. They can seize your computer they cannot seize your brain you have the right to remain silent! SO DO SO STUPID! You got nothing to tell anybody and if arrested the only thing you ask is for a Lawyer nothing else!
A side note on Linux and the open source you know you can easily find way to encrypt folders and files with encryption keys that would give the NSA a run for their money! A lot of what I just wrote can and is being used by Iranians right now to survive and still communicate with the outside world!
The best defense is a strong offense if anybody ever sue me the first thing am doing is research everybody involve from the Judge, the prosecutor, court clerk, Jury members, witness and expert witness. I doubt that you can find dirt on me online because I live a pretty boring life anyway. I guarantee you one thing sue me and I will find a truckload of dirt on somebody in that courtroom considering who name some of them in the past my money on the Judge!
