The bottom line is that nothing electronic can be trusted. About the only communication that can be relied on for privacy are hand written notes, hand delivered.

The sad thing is how many government and private organizations are obsessed with such minutiae. Truly, it accomplishes nothing, and comes across as a mental illness.

I dunno about that. Over the years I have seen several methods of encryption using methods that I guarantee you are not going to break unless you know the exact key and method used. I even know of a method, quite simple actually, to shrink down any dual layer movie-dvd -sized data to about half its size and sometimes quite a bit more, using an algorithm that you have probably used many times before unknowingly, and that is before using more readily available methods like the zip and 7z formats. Just make absolutely sure you never lose the encryption key or even the person or computer system used will never recover it.

Encryption, however is not the same as anonymity. I guarantee using that level of encryption you can send the data over the net with little chance of anyone deciphering it. No, what I am concerned with is the ability for unwanted others to track us over the internet.

The face belonging to hand delivery can be easily recognized due to billions of photos available online and the software capable of facial recognition.

Even worse, when hand delivery carries an Android device, their whereabouts are traceable. If they leave device at home and it is deviation from routine, it is easily flagged.

A software using social diagram can predict whereabouts of each social diagram member at any time.

One can be smart, but it's the sum of stupid contacts that counts.
