and so 97 VPN products may fall under single digit organizations, big one being NSA!

Now you just need to figure out which one owns which and then chain them cross vendor, and hope that "he's connecting to a chinese spy vpn" doesn't put you on any list ;)

Most people on HN are probably on several lists.

If I mention "The Anarchist Cookbook" then I imagine every username on this page will be added to a GCHQ list, I'll probably have my internet traffic mined to establish if I downloaded it (which they arrest people for in the UK -- https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-bristol-41802493). Presumably they have my online purchase history that relates to reagents, etc..

I also expect to be on lists for being critical of the establishment, doing online web security courses, buying remote connectable electronics, etc..

The difficulty I expect is profiling to reduce those lists to meaningful actions that have indicative value.

I don't believe they'll bother putting you on a list for anarchist cb. So many of the recipes have been modified so that you'll blow yourself up that they'll just let nature run its course... /s

the AC probably doesn't do much. but...as the subject of a joint FBI/NCIS investigation some years ago I can definitely say that at least in the USA they have a long memory...

Had it on a floppy for my Amiga.

Brings back memories.

Jolly Rogers cookbook :)
