Naming the "Trap"
Anyone using Google (@gmail.com), Yahoo (@yahoo.com), Microsoft (@msn.com), or any webmail accounts is using compromised email by default.
Its "free"-ness is a trap.
So also with anyone visiting or signing up for Google accounts (groups, Blogger, YouTube).\So also for all the [anti-social] "social" networks (e.g., Twitter, Facebook).
They are the new KGB, Gestapo, and OSS all rolled into one, but based on the leftover of conspicuous capitalism's narcissism-training — originated to create a colonizing set of human desire replacements — of no use now except in snaring any resistance, no matter how dysfunctional or self-evolvable beyond its past value as dysfunctional exchange-value (the exchange market of persona[l] dysfunctionality).
Resist the Trap, or Surrender to it as its Colonized Accomplice
The best way to communicate is NOT by using (that is, by being used by) so-called "free" tools, because they are the quickest road to enslavement, turning the whole of society into a giant internment camp wherein surveillance is tolerated, maintained, and essentially welcomed by the aforementioned "use"-value delusions about such "free" tools.
They are designed to harvest resistance like sweet syrup for Capital's breakfast. They are intended to reveal all "social" connections to perceptions and views and real history of humanity. They are the inversion of freedom, handed to slaves with names like "Open Source", "freeware", and "benevolence", so that the combination of self-delusion of toxic "freedom" together can "finish the job".
The "free" is the bait and the addicted "users" are the used... the real tools, about to be recycled into memory-dust.
