Should UEGA become a .onion site?
Thoughts? (particularly from the moderators)
Cheers,

After all, its a site about casual trespassing rather than hard criminal activity.
The inconveniance of using tor would likely outweigh any privacy advantages.
From what I've been told, a large number of tor exit nodes are compromised anyway.
We try to promote the urbex community in a responsible fashion, encouraging people to join and share.
Don't think you'd see too many members on here if that were the case.
If it was an easy transition I would be up for it. But I haven't had time to look at Tor.
Just a harmless explorer. No need to waste taxes checking me 
This site is not secure and if law enforcement really wanted to find your info they would. Its just the police have "better" things to do at the moment, like giving out speeding and j-walking fines.theedge wrote:Interesting point. Clicks can be tracked but can't really see what we are posting in the members section. Just have to be discrete when we post.

Tor is more secure but still wouldnt trust it with the amount of cash being funnelled into the NSA on decription tech.
All Google does with information of people who click into here from their search results, is use it for targeted advertising.
When clicking around the site, only UEGA server sees that info (and IT people at your workplaces
). Police would need a warrant for the host to disclose IPs, and that would be complete overkill for the content that people post here.

Members of the Cave Clan were once visited at their house by the police who had print-outs of transcripts of online conversations (the conversations were only a joke, but it still aroused a serious response).
Scarecrow of the Sydney branch of the Cave Clan.
On a slightly unrelated note, I always thought the so called undercover Melb tram guards were a myth until I saw them with my own eyes, I thought they looked suss the moment I saw them on the platform
I'm not completely convinced about that. Your rights to privacy are constantly dwindling under the guise of "anti-terrorism".aydun wrote:Nah.

Besides, using info you've provided on this site I found your full name and facebook account, Aydun.
The police wouldn't need to obtain your IP address to find you.
I'm correct. Here's some information from Google:maggot wrote:I'm not completely convinced about that. Your rights to privacy are constantly dwindling under the guise of "anti-terrorism".aydun wrote:Nah.

780 requests for user data, 546 requests fulfilled with some level of data given, in the past 6 months. That isn't a lot, when there's things like internet fraud, pedophiles etcetc that would be investigates as well. Spose you just gotta be careful what you post.

Agreed, especially when you consider that that's 0.002407% of the Australian population. I believe it's safe to say that 'recreational trespassing' ranks much lower than the more serious crimes you mentioned; especially in regards to drains and abandonments.timdole wrote:https://www.google.com/transparencyrepo ... quests/AU/
