Insults in person start fights. It’s only the privacy of the internet that lets you do it here.

Kashoggi was a journalist investigating government corruption. The context of reasonable internet privacy is completely irrelevant.

What does Tor have to do with stalking? Since when has someone’s internet browsing been affected by a stalker?

> Since when has someone’s internet browsing been affected by a stalker?

I'm sorry, but you are (were) a privacy researcher though. You should know already that internet browsing can be influenced by and can contribute to stalking/doxing attempts.

An unrelated third party can’t surveil your browsing without malicious software or hardware intervening.

[danShumway]

Yeah, this is just straight up incorrect.

You seem to react negatively when directed towards research topics above, so I'm not sure how to respond to this in a way that you won't find insulting. I have to again assume that you were a privacy researcher. If so, you should already understand that browser surveillance is absolutely possible without malware or hardware access -- at the government level, and at the corporate level, and even sometimes at the individual level.

So I'm at a loss about how you would (I assume mistakenly) make such an obviously false claim.

[comfypotato]

All done through the ISP, a related party, having absolutely nothing to do with stalking. Poor argumentation.

[danShumway]

Once again straight up incorrect, I am not talking about ISPs. You can track browsing and use browsing to help with stalking/doxing without ever getting an ISP involved. Quite frankly, I'm not sure what to conclude from this other than that you may not know as much about how modern Internet tracking works as you think you do.
