Thanks for your input. From the original post, it shows the government has already been seizing and sorting posts and PMs from all US forums. I don't have to think they're doing it. Their own internal secret documents say they're doing it.
But I think are looking at the issue backwards. Public figures have no right to violate the security of our communications and seize them. What private citizens say or don't say is none of the business of public officials. It says so in the 4th amendment
quote:
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures
It is the public officials that need to justify searching and seizing our private communications. Private citizens do not need to justify exercising their constitutional rights. This is how rights work. Private citizens do not have to justify exercising their rights.
Who knows what I'm going to say in private messages here. Maybe I'll talk about street racing spots. Maybe I'll talk about speeding on the freeway. Maybe I'll talk about putting a lower sale price on a bill of sale so the car buyer will pay less in DMV taxes. Maybe I'll get tips on finding a good smog shop. Maybe I'll talk to my girlfriend in PMs instead of email so my wife doesn't find out. We all have something to hide. It is why we put locks on our doors, curtains on our windows and passwords on all our accounts.

Thank you. If you want to go more advance you can try the Ghostery plugin --- https://www.ghostery.com/try-us/download-browser-extension/ but it might break some websites. It is also partially closed source, which means you can never fully trust it. You can only trust open source free software.

On a windows computer you can also use Peer Block ---- http://www.peerblock.com/ Under the main window, Protection tab, click on List Manager. Then check the boxes to block Spyware and Advertising.

I didn't mention these two programs at first because they might break some websites and take some getting use to. The plugins in my first post work automatically in the background. Perfect for people that aren't computer wizards.

Let me know if you guys have any questions or want to get rid of other annoyances besides ads on youtube and other sites.

I noticed you put a new pic of yourself, is that because you keep bumping into walls? Trolls have been known do things like that; may I suggest a bubble suit to go with the special helmet.

Didn't you get banned a couple times for trolling...troll?

Good question. The iphone and other iOS devices are inherrently difficult to block tracking and ads on. Apple products are built from the ground up to track you. Out of the limited iOS options you have try 1Blocker ---- https://itunes.apple.com/app/id1025729002 The basic version of 1Blocker is free. Pro version is $3. For a 100% free and simple iPhone ad blocker try Refine ---- https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/safari-blocker/id1011678834?ls=1

These won't work until you go into Settings -> Safari -> Content Blockers and enable the blocker you installed.

Everyone should run ad blockers on their phones. Data plans are expensive and you don't want to spend your bandwidth money downloading ads!

You are welcome. These advertising companies track you online. The government is lazy, so they just grab a copy of everyone's tracking data from these advertising companies. Unless you like to have all of your digital activity tracked and spied on, run an add blocker!

For those of you that insist on using the spyware called Chrome, at least install this plugin put out by one of the Chrome developers to improve your security and privacy. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/palmerized-chrome/ecmhflkoahhjjpddfopclbhiogelneoc?hl=en-US

For the love of god though, ditch Safari and Chrome. Instead use free and open source software like Firefox. Free as in freedom, not free as in zero dollars. This is what Free and open source software means.

When I stream games and stuff, I use UBlock aswell. Because, when you use ADBlock they give you extra pop ups that say "You've got ADBlock Installed" and make it impossible to watch. However, UBlock seems to work well without being harassed for using it.

Those reprobates at google/Youtube are now rolling out new ads you can't skip --- http://techcrunch.com/2016/04/26/youtube-bumper-ads/ Following the instructions in the first post is becoming even more important. Follow the instructions to keep your data plan costs low. Follow the instructions to keep advertisers from tracking you online. Follow the instructions to not waste your time watching ads you don't want to see. Post here if you need help or have any questions.

A good reason to go to the first post and install ad blockers on your computer and devices.

https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/mar/16/major-sites-new-york-times-bbc-ransomware-malvertising

Big news sites like New York Times and BBC served their readers advertisements that secretly installed software that encrypted their reader's files until they paid the criminals money for the unencryption key. Many sites by mistake are serving malware ads that infect your devices. Install ad blockers on all your devices unless you really like ads and think the risk of getting all your documents, songs and pictures encrypted until you pay a randsom fee is worth viewing ads for.

Now that Trump signed into law allowing AT&T, Verizon, Comcast and the rest to record your web browsing and sell it, you might want to follow the steps on the first page. It's not a complete fix, but a start. I can offer a complete fix if you'd like.

Who here voted for AT&T, Verizon, Comcast saving, recording and selling your browser history?

Democracy at work. Only for the filthy rich and powerful.
