A funny thing happened last night, I signed up to a well known website with my own email address (not a monitored, snooping, moneticise all your correspondence gmail or such crap). And, the confirmation email, the one I had to click on to confirm its a real email I used, took an hour to come, and when it did, having asked it to resend … then given up and gone on to do other things, three arrived at once.
That wasn’t a mistake. Someone somewhere was deliberately intercepting and delaying the emails.
At first, I thought “my email is being monitored, it’s been in a queue to be checked and that is why it took the time”. But, then the reality dawned on me. There is no way on earth a spy organisation monitoring emails would delay confirmation emails from a well known website. Even if they hadn’t whitelisted the website, confirmation emails have patterns that are easy to detect. So, it would be almost trivial to let time critical emails like website confirmation through, so as to avoid any obvious sign of monitoring.
No! This was NOT the result of monitoring, instead this was an attempt to use psychological pressure … to suggest something was “wrong” with my email, that is working fine.
Now, it was pretty obvious the site was heavily into google, so much so, that I had more or less decided it wasn’t worth signing up to before I got the “please press link to confirm”. So, I suspect Google were somehow involved in the signing up process. Fortunately, I used an email which I only monitor for the short time when I expect confirmation emails.
So, who would be so keen to suggest my email wasn’t working? … GOOGLE! And their ilk! Any email that they can’t monitor, they want to undermine. Which means they still can’t monitor my emails … unlike all the morons out there who use gmail.
Obviously, having google constantly attacking emails it doesn’t like, has costs, but not anything near the costs of allowing google or fascist book to snoop on every personal correspondence.
If you let google monitor every discussion and decide every website you’ll be allowed to see through google … you’re being brainwashed!
