Anonymity on the Internet
Yawn... blogger fatigue... sianz... schoolwork... projects... yawnz...
BF2! My only motivation for staying awake.
Anyway the arrests and Sedition Act of the 3 bloggers made everyone scared of posting on blogs liao. Some people even ask how it's possible and whether it's legal.
My uncle at a certain ISP tells me yes it is very easy and impossible to escape, as long as you have an internet connection. In fact he tells me even in countries like USA (the freedom nation) and the many countries in EU all have existing laws about how the police can get info from the ISP. It seems USA and EU now have some law that requires all ISPs to keep access logs for a long period of time in case of criminal or terrorist case.
In fact he told me that in EU they have computer systems to do this automatically while in USA it's still police warrant or court order. I think in Singapore we are also still police warrant and he says our ISPs (SingNet, Starhub, etc) all must keep logs for police investigation. So who knows what is being logged?? Maybe access log? Login log? Visit log? HTTP log? Who knows sia could be anything!
In other words no escape. How about proxies? Mmmm I think will depend on what is being logged at the ISP. I think if use anonymous proxy oso cannot siam cuz they can still get u from the DHCP or login logs, meaning they will know when u login and logoff.
For me, the only way is VPN but who here got VPN? LOL...
Wah... stay on your toes people! Basically watch what you say. But to those racists fuckers, my pal X-Fire is malay and on behalf of X-Fire, trinity and gang, FUCK YOU!

Hello Beng Hacks,
I'm not here to comment your post. Saw your username on Sintercom and decided to browse through your blog. I'm working on a term paper on "Alternative News" which claims to counter hegemony of ST in the local context. Would like to ask you few questions, if it's alright. IN YOUR OPINION, what kind of Singaporeans (or age-grp) read internet news? And what would motivate and commit young Singaporeans to read internet news? I would greatly appreciate your help. My email is synonymous@gmail.com if it's more convenient for reply.
