Is the Internet a security risk?

Hey everybody,
I have been visiting IC for about two years now and though I haven't posted much, I've spent countless hours reading and learning. And I haven't seen a lot of discussion on internet security lately, aside from the OG and CW business. So I wanted to see what people have to say about the security of a post. How anonymous is it nowadays? Can I trust my government to respect my privacy? Is IC a safe place to be?

If any of this is taken offensively please trust that it is not intended to be. I'm sure there are many other regular visitors like me who do not post or even have accounts because of security issues. I have learned so much here and I would like to be more active in the community but am worried that it could endanger me.

security

here at IC Mag we take the greatest care to protect our members security
we don't log IP's, our servers are in a safe country
but thats just half of it, its up to the members to take there own precautions
there are lots of threads on protecting yourself when your on line
I suggest people take the precautions to protect themselfs esp if you live
in a country that has harsh laws on cannabis cultivation

but in saying that i've only heard of a case where someones posts
on the internet we used in a court, but the bust had nothng to do with
his posts, they got his computer used that as evidence
so make sure you don't store password's, cookie's etc and always clear your
history when you log off esp if its not your own computer

as to your government respecting privicy
well most governments snoop into our private lives at some point
but I doubt they will spend hours searching web sites to try to nail a
small time grower

OP
