Online Porn Viewing Made Public?

This makes the Ashley Madison leak look like romper room(not hear) I wonder who's really working behind the curtains on this one, and the fact they grab the data from VPN users is insane. Who knows if this is one of Net Neutrality's tentacles wiggling out from the woodwork. I'd love to stay and chat, but I'm meeting with my lawyer in hopes of an identity change.

If you've watched porn online this year then you should be prepared for your browsing history and name to be made public for the world to see, a US blogger has warned.
Brett Thomas, a San Francisco-based software engineer, has written in a post on his blog that if you've watched porn online in 2015, "even in Incognito mode", then brace yourself because "you should expect that at some point your porn viewing history will be publicly released and attached to your name".

How did they get the data and why does this guy think they will leak it? There are like a billion people in the world who watch porn. Is it supposed to be from just one porn site? Or how would they get everyone's history and filter out just the porn? Why not just release their whole history.

Jesus christ, I'm ruined 
I'm also skeptical about how this is going to be carried out. Seems very labor intensive and impractical.

The article claims that it can be done but that doesn't mean shit. As stated there's a billion porn viewers with probably millions of pages of history. Putting all that data together would be useless and going through it would literally be like scanning through codes of 0 and 1's

Advertising and blackmail. Two moneymaking and persuasive giants of the world. I didn't answer your question, but this is more than likely why.

Not to mention how many families share one computer or Internet connection. Think how many adult Men and women who pay for the internet will be linked to all the porn there teen sons watch.
You could have an old granny who never looks at porn linked to endless pages of hardcore porn her 13 year old grandson watches on her computer.

Ultimately this will just reveal that everyone watches porn of All types and will probably help us as a species get over our silly attitudes toward sex and porn.
No one will care about regular folks like you and me but people Will be finding out what kind of porn presidents, Politicians, celebrities and popes watch.

Awesome, I was hoping someone would read the article. So you say we're all cool then? I hope so. Although with most things in life, if it can be done it will be done. Kinda like Murphy's law. We know it will now that the cat;s out of the bag. $$$$

The total amount of data dropped would overwhelm anyone trying to sift through it.

They have their work cut out for them in Utah. All at the cost of taxpayers.

Even the article doesn't say it will happen and actually says at unlikely "Those two hacks would have to be large-scale and are unlikely — and both must take place at the same time —"
I had almost entirely stopped watching porn over time and barely ever do, but I think it's Time to give it up completely .
Anyways there are more then one person with any given name and many people using a given computer or Internet subscription . There will be lots of ambiguity and mistaken identity and the sheer Volume of a mass reveal like this would make it almost meaningless except For famous people who there would be motivation to expose.
And after a few months people will forget all about it and keep watching porn. Maybe there will be the mother of all class action lawsuits.

I wouldn't really be too worried about it. I'm not nearly important enough to bother with. Even if they somehow do have my name attached to it, I'm gonna be hidden in with countless other people. I know my name has been given to more than one person, so who is to really say which one is me anyways. Score 1 for people with semi-generic/common names.
--------------------
With my face against the floor I can’t see who knocked me out of the way. I don’t want to get back up but I have to so it might as well be today. Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear. I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear. You can't wake up, this is not a dream. You're part of a machine, you are not a human being With your face all made up, living on a screen. Low on self esteem, so you run on gasoline

If every IP is logged and every DNS is recorded via your ISP. It's really not just porn but any site you ever visited if they can link it to you.
That's so much information it's over whelming to think about collecting it all then try to attach names of people to all the searches and site records.
Anyways, it's like 99.999999999% unlikely if not more. So no worries.
