RE: @familyprotection - Cutting them off at the pass.
check out my privacy workshop.
I tried to tell mark about it but he ignored me. basically, the way google and maxmind work, everything your children will think while they grow up will be recorded on a permanent record and later used to manipulate and abuse them.
As such operating a home internet connection without obfuscating your ip address is allowing your children to be abused. And google is a mass child abuser. Let this sink in. It is quite evil and it's going to take a lot of work to change that. Europeans are beginning to catch on, france, belgium etc are demanding the right to be forgotten and fining these companies millions of dollars for breaking the law. While in america it is as if the brains of every individual are being served on a silver platter.
Thank you @mindhawk for you input. You make a good point. Don't worry about Mark, I am sure he has just been very busy and didn't mean to ignore you. The guy does a post and gets hundreds of messages to reply to, so try not to take it personally. On your point about data collection for use of manipulation, I think you are right. The nex pokemon app is supposed to come with characters that are taylored to the user. If the user has a love for unicorns, then it will be a unicorn they see in front of them(When looking through your screen you will find these 3D images) Not only will they know what animation to use but the character will then be dressed in an outfit that would represent everything the kid is interested in, ie if the kid is a cricket fan who like dragons. He will no doubt see a Pokemon dragon dressed in helmet, pads and holding a cricket bat. Very personal and very dangerous.
