GoogleSharing, Now With No Trust Required
An anonymous reader writes "GoogleSharing, the popular Google anonymizing service created by well known privacy advocate and security researcher Moxie Marlinspike, has released a major new version today. The biggest change is leveraging Google's SSL search option to provide an anonymizing service which doesn't require you to trust either Google or GoogleSharing. This means that anyone who wishes to opt out of Google's data collection practices can now do so without having to trust the operator of the anonymizing service."

Oh, please. Just go wardriving with a vanilla install of ubuntu using a laptop you picked up on craigslist and a wifi card you found in a trash can and you're safe. As usual, these kinds of government activities only infringe on the innocent and do nothing to inhibit the criminals.
I once took an excursion to Reddit, and later HN. Unlimited up/down voting sucks when dealing with a hive-mind.
