Info Leak Wars To Get Messier
jfruh writes "As we discussed this weekend, David Miranda, the partner of the Guardian's Glenn Greenwald, was detained while transporting encrypted data on the Snowden affair from Berlin; all his electronics were seized. Over at the Guardian offices, British police destroyed more of the newspaper's hard drives. Privacy blogger Dan Tynan sees where this one is going: reporters like Greenwald are going to stop even bothering to be circumspect with their revelations. Sorting through the contents of such infocaches to redact sensitive information just gives the government time to track you down. Eventually, the information will just be dumped online, warts and all, as soon as someone who wants the information public gets ahold of it."
Not everyone is going to roll over like PJ did.
Traffic fatalities also vastly outnumber murders. Better just let murderers off with a fine and some community service.
"The government lost the information war. They are going to need to refocus on something else to win. Martial law. Election stealing. Murdering people. Extortion. At that point you're no longer looking at democracy and civilization but totalitarianism and military rule. We already lock up every marijuana user. Why not start locking up "terror violators" or some other nonsense 'crime'?
This is the breaking point. Will people vote in politicians who will stop the wars (terror, drugs, guns, privacy)? Or are we going to get another Bush/Obama clone?"
you must live in lala land where everything fox news churns out from marketing any news that they invent in their own heads. obama did almost nothing because whenever the democrats compromized the republicans called for more. they only got obamacare by compromising democrat ideal of single payer heathcare to the 'compromize' of the affordable care act. until the supreme court called it a 'tax' and then this guy called grover went against ACAhttp://www.cbsnews.com/8301-18560_162-57327816/the-pledge-grover-norquists-hold-on-the-gop/

acting in capacity of a data mule? a big so what. The cops were in their rights to do this, and frankly anyone seeking to distribute or help in acquisition of stolen data is a criminal. The press as a 3rd estate is a horrible idea - might as well trust the paparazzi with your kids' colonoscopy video.

So it was pretty fucking stupid for him to have the data then, wasn't it?
Pretty much shows he's a fuckign asshole for hanging his 'friend' out to dry as well.
