Of course. But my claim was not that your traffic tells us everything there can be known about you. My claim was that it tells us everything we _need_ to know about you. I suspect everyone has a complex occult kernel buried deep inside them. And whatever secrets are hidden in there would be interesting (perhaps necessary) to those who are deeply familiar with that person, family, lovers, etc. But for spam? Naaa. Of course, everything lies on a spectrum. So, when the FBI profiles a serial killer, they're going to make a serious effort to unravel and make sense of that kernel. Somewhere in the middle would be Levashov. We simply need to learn enough about his person[ality] to catch him ... like when he visits Spain with his family. Someone like Satoshi Nakamoto would be an even more interesting case. But this thread is about possible techniques to compensate for Trump rolling back (as yet unimplemented) rules for ISPs and selling your traffic history, not catching human traffickers on the dark web. -- ☣ glen ============================================================ FRIAM Applied Complexity Group listserv Meets Fridays 9a-11:30 at cafe at St. John's College to unsubscribe http://redfish.com/mailman/listinfo/friam_redfish.com FRIAM-COMIC http://friam-comic.blogspot.com/ by Dr. Strangelove
