Being a British guy recently moved to the USA, I may be in a unique situation in being able to protect my privacy, and I was wondering if fellow cypherpunks may be able to give me some hints in being to "protect" myself...
Since my SSN is barely a month old, since I don't yet have a credit card over here, since I won't (yet?) be in many of those beloved databases, what steps can I take to "hide" myself before it's too late? Too all intents and purposes, I have metamorphed from a newborn US baby into an adult, overnight. Thus I have an SSN, I pay tax (etc), but I'm not on anyone's direct mailing lists.[..]
Depends on how much you're in British databases. I imagine that when those who desire to track your movements feel the need they'll check with UK and European sources. A lot of the databases are already linked up and shared. An acquaintance from the UK who came here several years ago was able to use his debit card in local ATMs, for instance. - --- [This message has been signed by an auto-signing service.
