It's on powerflv.co, We should know that there are anonymizers (sites, services and softwares). This may be legit. More info would be nice.

These are just moral issues. For me, as a person, what AOL does seems justifiable. They keep records for a limited time and keep it longer if there is a formal governmental request in a particular case. However, what google does is just not seems right to me. They keep our information b/c someday they may trade them for money in someway! There has to be a law to limit their use of public information and to protect privacy of individuals.

When I saw it I laughed, as if to say, this is utterly ridiculous. Sorry folks but if someone wants to find you, they will. What we need to be more concerned about is what happens to that information once it's retrieved. However, in the good ole US of A all of those freedoms are eroding, slowly but surely. Remember, Minority Report was just a film. ;-) I couldn’t agree with you more. When I saw it I laughed, as if to say, this is utterly ridiculous.

And how can we be sure that this project is throwing its logs away? Tor + Tobutton + Stealther in Firefox is the only way! Doh. And how can we be sure that this project is throwing its logs away?
