data regarding our habits are coveted by so many: what kinds of programs we watch, what sites we surf, what kind of research we do .. . No information to say much about our tastes, our habits and allow whoever is in possession of packing products more tailored to our expectations. Who controls the information, often holding the ball for advertising, we gain in economic terms as well as prestige. It is easy to understand why there are those who want to get out of this game and continue to use the Internet with confidence, without thinking that maybe someone will be studying and then sell them at the appropriate time, a product perhaps useless, but full of his appeal. The tools to protect us from the intrusiveness of the system of espionage fortunately there. They are real studies computer able to reject attempts to steal our preferences o di invalidare l enostre preferenze o di invalidare i dati"sporcandoli" con altri del tutto casuali.
Il motore di ricerca Scroogle www.scroogle.org ad esempio, ci permette di effettuare le nostre ricerche su google in perfetto anonimato.
Abbastanza simile é il comportamento di Privoxy www.privoxy.org un software rilasciato con licenza open source che va instalalto sul proprio computer e usato come un proxy. Ai meno esperti basti sapere che un proxy é un software, o spesso anche un computer, che si frappone fra il nostro browser e internet: se abbiamo un proxy impostato, quando digitiamo, ad esempio, www.google.it , la richiesta non arriva direttamente al server di Google ma al Proxy, che la forward to the Google engine for us and then we "turn" in turn the result. The strength of Privoxy's filters are designed by some experts with the aim to better protect our privacy.
