Usenet is older than the internet itself. Originally set up to allow academics
and others in specialized fields to engage in group discussions with their peers
across the globe, it has since evolved into an uncensored system of exchanging
virtually anything that can be transmitted between computers.
Usenet functions a lot like email. Except that instead of addressing messages to
an individual, they are addressed to a group. And anyone wishing to read or post
messages in a particular group, does so by connecting to a Usenet server across
an internet connection. A newsreader (ie.Outlook Express) is needed on the
user’s computer to read articles and download attached files. You
“subscribe” to a group by telling the software in your own computer to check
the messages in a particular group. (Don’t be frightened by the term
“subscribe.” Nowhere is there ever a subscriber list. The term
“subscribe” is used in reference to how you set up your computer and
software. Only you and your computer know which groups you have “subscribed”
to.)
There is no “central” Usenet server. Rather there are thousands of servers
chained and crosslinked together in order to exchange articles between them, and
to keep the articles available for their own users to read for a period of time
ranging from hours to weeks. (It is this lack of centralization that has
protected Usenet from the legal attacks such as that which destroyed Napster.)
Why use a Private Newsfeed ?
Where is your normal news server? At Netcom? America Online? A provider in France? Belgium? Singapore? Beware, wherever you are!!Your internet provider can see in their modem logs which user is connected to each of their modems at every point of time. And they can see what modem node is using their own news server and what newsgroup the user on that modem is reading and even what exact articles and pictures that user is downloading.A news server logs your activities by default! You may not have known this, but this is the truth. It is possible to turn the logging off. But almost NO newsmasters have done this, sometimes at the request of the police in their country. One way to fight is to read your news from a server on secure ground! There have been cases where police received permission to go through the logs of internet providers to find people who may have downloaded material posted on internet news groups that happened to be illegal in the specific city or country of download.
