In light of yesterday's revelation from Millie Weaver, it occurred to me that https encryption will not protect you from profiling:
dig(1) prints the following IP addresses:
kotakuinaction2.win. 53 IN A 172.67.133.248
kotakuinaction2.win. 53 IN A 104.28.26.95
kotakuinaction2.win. 53 IN A 104.28.27.95
thedonald.win. 287 IN A 104.26.9.222
thedonald.win. 287 IN A 104.26.8.222
thedonald.win. 287 IN A 172.67.73.6
This means someone monitoring the network will flag you as someone with objectionable beliefs, even though they might not see the actual content passing through. Likewise for someone who only browses CNN, reddit or even Gab. I do not know if the .win network is in on it.
Everyone is being binned into sets, groups connecting to the same network are likely to hold similar views and therefore open to targeted agitation and false flags. Like what the interview says, they know what pushes your buttons, they know what makes you rage, they know what gets you worked up. None of a particular network's stance on issues are secret, so they just need to tailor propaganda to get a group working towards their goals.
Encrypted DNS will not protect you either, since it is completely dependent on the provider, not to mention a centralized solution. Furthermore, you'll still need to make a connection to the web server serving the content.
While it may be possible to defeat profiling with fake traffic generators, you yourself remains vulnerable to the networking effects of (likely deliberate) polarization.
PS. Long time lurker, and reddit spacing is atrocious.
What do you mean precisely? Who would be the one doing this profiling?
Check out Millie's video https://kotakuinaction2.win/p/GuwvG4YK/millie-weavers-shadowgate-docume/c/.
Snowden's revealed that the NSA is secretly spying on everyone. Now Shadowgate tells us private corporations (read contractors) are just copying NSA's homework for their own use. These private intelligence corporations have the same kind of incestuous relationship as journos, now with congressional support.
Suddenly the whole "defund the police" and BLM movement smells like a massive psyop to push for the adoption of police drones. Yes the police departments may shrink, but now each officer has a fleet of drones to command to achieve the same effect as multiple officers patrolling the streets on foot.
