Right at this exact moment if all your friends & family & law enforcement saw all your search engine history, would you be embarrassed? Anything you'd want to delete before they see it?

    Assuming it magically can get my search history despite incognito, vpn etc I’d probably just ask them not to look at it, Embarrassing maybe but nothing that would get me in any trouble and anyone whose opinion I care about I trust wouldn’t want to see it anyway

    Not in the slightest. I don’t care if they know my darkest kinks. That’s life. Everyone has something out of the ordinary that appeals to them. I owe no one any explanation for it. Nothing I enjoy is illegal so let them see.

      It honestly baffles me that so many people feel so ashamed of liking porn when they logically know that nearly everyone else likes it too.

        honestly if the people I know in daily life knew some of the porn I’ve, um, enjoyed, they would never look at me the same way again, I would have an identity/existential crisis, have to leave town and start all over again rebuilding new relationships with all new acquaintances

          That’s weird of them… you know they like the same porn, right? Maturation is a private activity so the porn you watch is your business alone - unless it’s made without consent (including cp and beast because they’re unable to consent).

            Porn is unhealthy, it warps the human mind by interfering with the way our brains are wired to form and maintain human relationships. Anyone who still loves looking at porn and won’t admit that it is a sad pathetic tragic replacement for human relationships, may be already too far gone.

              Thats someones interpretation, certainly not yours either. You could say that anything you do “interferes” with something you would otherwise do. Ate a store-bought sandwich? That “interefered” with the way your brain is wired to hunt the food yourself.

              Ooooh, so you made this question as a bait because you’re a judgemental asshole. Porn is fine for most people, if it isn’t for you then feel free to abstain - but fuck off with your puritanical bullshit.

    Any archives of me would be so massive I doubt they’d be able to make sense of it. The only thing I’d particularly prioritize removing traces of is the fact that I came across a certain guy (and no shit I really did) while in a few places. No, not supporting the guy whatsoever, but he has an expansive legacy, only somewhat better than Dark Helmet.

      Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

      than Dark Helmet.

      Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

      I’m open-source; check me out at GitHub.

      Are you saying you found Kim jong-un involved in atrocities on the dark web? sorry if I’m reading between the lines too deeply but that’s what I gathered from your comment.

        I found him outside of it. He’s out in the open in a lot of places, if you know where to look. He seems to confine those atrocities away from the open though.

      And I learned by watching the news in cases like Jared fogle, nothing can actually ever be deleted from hard drives & clouds. Even everything we’ve ever posted to Reddit and thought we deleted it, everything is always available somewhere for the experts to find.

        Stuff can absolutly be deleted. If you overwrite the stuff that was previously saved there it’s gone. The point is that cloud providers often just don’t delete your stuff. And whatever you do your network provider allways knows what you search for.

            Oh most social media probably keeps a copy. But your search history is usually stored locally, so it’s possible to delete that. Your internet provider only has a history of all sites that where visited via your internet connection and is unable to backtrack something to a specific device.
