Gizlilik mi? Benim saklayacak hiçbir şeyim yok.
Bu sorunu tartıştığım son 16 ay boyunca ne zaman biri bana "Şirketlerin insanları izlemesini önemsemiyorum, çünkü benim saklayacak hiçbir şeyim yok." diyecek olsa benim cevabım hep aynı oluyor. Bir parça kağıdın üstünde e-posta adresimi yazıp şöyle diyorum, "Bak bu benim e-posta adresim, şimdi bu adrese senin adına kayıtlı olan tüm E-Posta adreslerinin, forum ve sosyal medya hesaplarının kullanıcı ismi ve şifrelerini istiyorum. Sadece ana kullandıklarını değil hepsini istiyorum ki senin internette ne okuyup ne paylaştığını görebileyim. Sonuç olarak, kötü bir insan değilsen saklayacağın hiçbir şey olmaması gerekir, değil mi?" Henüz kimseden herhangi bir cevap almış değilim.

UKUSA anlaşması Birleşik Krallık, ABD, Avustralya, Kanada ve Yeni Zelanda devletlerinin birlikte kullanıcılardan bilgi toplayıp analiz etmelerini ve bunu aralarında paylaşmalarını sağlayan bir anlaşmadır. 5 Büyük Göz, adını alan bu grup dünyanın farklı bölgelerendinden istihbarat toplamaya yönelmişlerdir. 5 Büyük Göz'deki ülkeler birbirlerini izlememeye söz vermiş olsalar bile Snowden'in sızdırdığı belgeler bu ülkelerdeki vatandaşların da izlendiğini ve bu bilgilerin iç hukuk kurallarının bozulmaması için paylaşıldığını gösteriyor. 5 Büyük Göz'deki ülkeler ayrıca 9 Göz ve 14 Göz grubunu oluşturan başka ülkelerle de anlaşıp takip yaparlar.

Neden ABD Merkezli bir VPN Hizmeti Tercih Etmemelisiniz?

Ulusal Güvenlik Mektupları (NSL'ler) ve bunun gibi mahkeme kararları ile VPN servisinden bilgi alınabildiği için ABD merkezli bir VPN hizmeti tercih etmemeniz önerilir. Bütün bunlar devletin bu servislere gizlice baskı yaparak ve bunun sonucunda kullanıcı verisini elde etmesini, ve sonuç olarak bir VPN hizmetini bir izleme aracına dönüştürebilmesini sağlar.
Lavabit – Ladar Levison tarafından geliştirilen bir e-posta servisi buna örnek gösterilebilir. Zamanında FBI, Snowden’in kayıtlarını bu servisten istemişti. Fakat Lavabit kullanıcıların hareketlerini kayıt altına almadığı ve kullanıcıların gelen kutusunu şifreli tuttuğu için FBI Lavabit'den bir mahkeme çağrısı ile SSL anatarlarını istedi. SSL anahtarlarının FBI tarafından alınması sadece Snowden'in değil, tüm Lavabit kullanıcılarının gerçek zamanlı görüşmelerini FBI tarafından izlenebilir kılacaktı.
Sonunda SSL anahtarları Levison'un elinden zorla alındı ve buna karşılık olarak Levison, Lavabit servisini kapattı. Buna karşılık ABD mahkemesi servisin kapatılmasının bir mahkeme kararı ihlali olduğunu ileri sürdü ve Levison'u tutuklamakla tehdit etti.

Mozilla Firefox
Firefox hızlı, açık kaynaklı, güvenli ve karalı bir internet tarayıcısıdır. Firefox'u kurduktan sonra önerilerimize göre ayarlamayı unutmayın: WebRTC , about:config , gizlilik eklentileri.
İşletim sistemleri: Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS, BSD.

Bir web sitesini ziyaret ettiğinizde, tarayıcınız gönüllü olark sisteminizin ayarları, sistem yazı tipleri, tarayıcı tipi ve yüklü eklentiler gibi verileri web sitesine gönderir. Eğer bu verilerin kombinasyonu sadece size özel ise takip servisleri sizi tanımak için çerezlere ihtiyaç duymaz. Tarayıcınızı buna karşı test etmek için EFF tarafından geliştirilmiş Panopticlick sistemini kullanabilirsiniz.
Çoğu tarayıcının neyi takip ettiğini bulup sizdeki bu verileri çoğunluğa benzeterek tarayıcınızı daha ayırt edilemez kılabilirsiniz. Bu çoğunluk ile aynı yazı tiplerini, eklentileri kullanmak anlamına gelir. Ayrıca sahte bir user agent tanımlayıcısı kullanarak çoğunluğa karışabilirsiniz. WebGL ve DNT gibi ayarlarınızı da çoğunluğa uydurabilirsiniz. JavaScript'i kapatmak, hatta Linux bile kullanmak ne yazık ki tarayıcınızı daha ayırt edilebilir kılacaktır.
Modern web tarayıcıları kişisel gizliliğe önem vermek için inşa edilmemişlerdir. Bu sebeple parmak izini gizlemek yerine Privacy Badger, uBlock Origin ve Disconnect gibi özgür yazılımlar kullanmak daha pratiktir. Bu eklentiler sadece özgürlüğünüze değil, aynı zamanda gizliliğinize de önem verirler. Bu eklentiler ile parmak izinizi genelleştirmekten çok daha öteye gidebilirsiniz.
Alakalı Bilgi
- Web tarayıcınız ne kadar benzersiz? Peter Eckersley, EFF.
- reddit.com'daki parmak izi tartışmasına katılın
- Firefox eklentileri bölümümüz.
- BrowserLeaks.com - Hangi bilgilerinizin internette nasıl sızabileceğini söyleyen web tarayıcısı araçları.
NoScript gibi eklentiler bunu engelleyebilse bile bu protokolü tamamen kapatmak daha güvenlidir.
Firefox'da WebRTC nasıl kapatılır?
Kısaca: "about:config"'deki "media.peerconnection.enabled" değişkenini "false" olarak ayarlayın.
Açıklama:
- Firefox adres kutusuna "about:config" yazıp enter'a basın.
- "Riski kabul ediyorum!" kutusuna basın.
- "media.peerconnection.enabled"'ı arayın
- Değere iki kez tıklatın, "Value" kısmı "false"'a dönmelidir.
- Bu kadar. Şimdi WebRTC testini bir daha yapabilirsiniz.
WebRTC ile alakalı tüm ayarları kapatmak istiyorsanız, aşağıdaki tüm ayarları kapatmalısınız.
- media.peerconnection.turn.disable = true
- media.peerconnection.use_document_iceservers = false
- media.peerconnection.video.enabled = false
- media.peerconnection.identity.timeout = 1
Artık WebRTC'nin kapandığından tamamen emin olabilirsiniz.
Google Chrome'da WebRTC nasıl kapatılır?
Chrome'da WebRTC'yi tamamen kapatamazsınız, fakat bir tarayıcı eklentisi kullanarak sızıntıları engelleyebilirsiniz. İki tane açık kaynak eklenti mevcuttur: WebRTC Leak Prevent (olaya göre ayarlanması gerekebilir), ve uBlock Origin (Ayarlar'dan "WebRTC'nin yerel IP adreslerini sızdırmasını engelle" seçeniğini seçin).
Peki ya diğer tarayıcılar?
iOS için Chrome, Internet Explorer ve Safari WebRTC'yi desteklememektedir. Biz yine de tüm cihazlarınızda Firefox öneriyoruz.
"Privacy Badger" ile takip edilmeye son verin

Privacy Badger, sizi gizlice izleyen reklamları ve diğer üçüncü parti takipçileri engelleyen bir tarayıcı eklentisidir. Privacy Badger siz onu kullandıkça girdiğiniz sayfaların dışarı giden isteklerini inceleyerek öğrenir. Her ne kadar çoğu takipçi engellense bile Google Analytics, Privacy Badger tarafından birinci parti kabul edildiğinden dolayı engellenmez. uBlock Origin kullanarak Google Analytics'i de engelleyebilirsiniz. https://www.eff.org/privacybadger/
"uBlock Origin" ile takipçileri ve reklamları engelleyin

uBlock Origin büyük çaplı ve binlerce filtresi olması halde işlemcinizi zorlamayan bir takip engelleyicidir. Bu eklenti hiçbir şekilde kar gözetmez ve tamamen açık kaynaklıdır. Biz bu eklentiyi Firefox ile kullanmanızı öneriyoruz, fakat bu eklentinin Safari, Opera ve Chromium versiyonları da mevcut. Adblock Plus'un "kabul edilebilir reklamlar" listesini dikkate almaz.
https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/ublock-origin/
"Cookie AutoDelete" ile çerezlerinizi otomatik olarak silin

Automatically removes cookies when they are no longer used by open browser tabs. With the cookies, lingering sessions, as well as information used to spy on you, will be expunged.
https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/cookie-autodelete/
"HTTPS Everywhere" ile bağlantılarınızı şifreli tutun

Firefox, Chrome ve Opera desteği olan, çoğu büyük web siteleri ile bağlantılarınızı tamamen şifreli tutan bu eklenti The Tor Project ve Electronic Frontier Foundation kurumlarının işbirliği ile geliştirilmiştir.
https://www.eff.org/https-everywhere
"Decentraleyes" ile büyük çaplı dağıtım ağlarını engelleyin

Bu eklenti, büyük çaplı bilgi dağıtım ağlarını yerel olarak makinenizde taklit ederek gerekli bilgiyi bulup isteklerinize katar. Her şey anlık gerçekleşir, ve eklentinin ayarlanması gerekmez. Kaynak kodu: GitLab (self-hosted).
https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/decentraleyes/
"uMatrix" ile site dışı istekleri engelleyin

Çoğu siteler sizi takip etmek için Facebook beğeni tuşları veya Google Analitik servisi gibi site dışı isteklere ihtiyaç duyarlar. uMatrix sayesinde web sitelerinin site dışında yaptığı isteklere erişiminiz olur.
https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/umatrix/
"NoScript Security Suite" ile tüm kontrolü elinize alın

Bu eklenti ile Javascript, Java ve Flash gibi web programlarının sadece güvendiğiniz siteler üstünde çalışmasını sağlayabilirsiniz. Bu eklentiyi ayarlamak teknik bilgi gerektirir.

OnionShare
OnionShare is an open source tool that lets you securely and anonymously share a file of any size.
It works by starting a web server, making it accessible as a Tor onion service, and generating an unguessable URL to access and download the files.

Magic Wormhole
Get things from one computer to another, safely.
This package provides a library and a command-line tool named wormhole, which makes it possible to get arbitrary-sized files and directories (or short pieces of text) from one computer to another. The two endpoints are identified by using identical "wormhole codes": in general, the sending machine generates and displays the code, which must then be typed into the receiving machine.
The codes are short and human-pronounceable, using a phonetically-distinct wordlist. The receiving side offers tab-completion on the codewords, so usually only a few characters must be typed. Wormhole codes are single-use and do not need to be memorized.
OS: cross-platform (python)
Nextcloud - Choose your hoster

Who is required to hand over the encryption keys to authorities?
Mandatory key disclosure laws require individuals to turn over encryption keys to law enforcement conducting a criminal investigation. How these laws are implemented (who may be legally compelled to assist) vary from nation to nation, but a warrant is generally required. Defenses against key disclosure laws include steganography and encrypting data in a way that provides plausible deniability.
Steganography involves hiding sensitive information (which may be encrypted) inside of ordinary data (for example, encrypting an image file and then hiding it in an audio file). With plausible deniability, data is encrypted in a way that prevents an adversary from being able to prove that the information they are after exists (for example, one password may decrypt benign data and another password, used on the same file, could decrypt sensitive data).

Arguing that you don't care about the right to privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different than saying you don't care about free speech because you have nothing to say.
The NSA has built an infrastructure that allows it to intercept almost everything. With this capability, the vast majority of human communications are automatically ingested without targeting. If I wanted to see your emails or your wife's phone, all I have to do is use intercepts. I can get your emails, passwords, phone records, credit cards. I don't want to live in a society that does these sort of things... I do not want to live in a world where everything I do and say is recorded. That is not something I am willing to support or live under.
We all need places where we can go to explore without the judgmental eyes of other people being cast upon us, only in a realm where we’re not being watched can we really test the limits of who we want to be. It’s really in the private realm where dissent, creativity and personal exploration lie.
