Created with the help of the Open Society Institute, the site intends to serve as a how-to guide for protecting your private data against government spying. From their press release, they 'aim to educate Americans about the law and technology of communications surveillance and computer searches and seizures, and to provide the information and tools necessary to keep their private data out of the government's hands.'"

Just like not paying taxes is bad when Republicans do it and is reason to not get confirmed to a Cabinet post, but when a Democrat does it, "No big deal".

I seem to recall that when an Obama cabinet nominee has a tax problem, they have to step down. However, in the past decade or so, when, say, DOJ attorneys are illegally fired, or gay male prostitutes are brought into the whitehouse as fake reporters, the media ignores it, and anyone who brings up the subject is said to have "Bush Derrangement Syndrome." Kinda like in the Soviet Union where those who didn't believe in communism were labeled as mentally ill and sent to Siberia...
