At no point in history has the American government said 'we have nothing to hide'.
We have entire organizations DEVOTED TO HIDING SHIT, we have procedures to request secret information become public, you know, that whole Freedom of Information Act thingy that specifically addresses the shit they hide?
The government regularly states that the DO hide stuff, and this is not news to anyone, except maybe you and the other idiots who voted you up.
Yea, but once it all comes out, and we read it... we realize there isn't anything amazing or unknown in it, and the whole big deal was actually nothing new.
What did we learn from cablegate... most of the countries in the middle east that 'hate us' for what we do to other countries there... are secretly fucking begging us to do it...
THATS why wikileaks doesn't release it openly. When they release an unmodified version of it without the special edits they do... How is wikileaks going to manipulate you if you can see they are lying?
Lets see... because they made it public they had the data? thats we fucking stupid on their part.
Next we're going to hear something even stupider, like they ONLY had a copy on the laptop that was seized or some bullshit.
You have to be a moron to talk about having the data BEFORE its in the hands of the public. That means the first time its mentioned is when its front page news fully published in a large paper. Front page could be the front page of a website too for that matter.
You do not say 'we've got this data the government wants and we're going to tell you about it after we travel through a few countries and airports full of security who searches your shit!'
They were fucking stupid, thats why its a problem for them. They deserved to be caught for their stupidity. Might as well have carried a pound of crack cocaine along with it in their knapsack. That would have been far smarter.
Worshipping Assange and Wikileaks while ignoring they are entirely politically focused and doing nothing more than pushing their own personal agendas... awesome, you want to replace the old boss with the same new boss because you're too ignorant to recognize the new guy is doing the same shit the old guys used to get into office.
And you shouldn't be telling me how my content has to be distributed either.
You want me to do what you want, while completely ignoring my own wishes.
The web is OPEN, that means NEITHER ONE OF US GET TO DECIDE WHAT ANYONE ELSE DOES WITH THEIR OWN CONTENT.
You don't get to decide who craigslist grants access to. You're a fucking moron for even thinking such a retarded selfish thing. You're not the only person in the world you selfish prick.
What the fuck was undetectable about being blocked? The fact that they were blocked, they knew they were blocked and then intentionally worked around it.
They intentionally did something the other side didn't want done. It took deliberate actions to get around the block.
It wasn't an accident. It wasn't a few times til someone noticed. They KNEW they were blocked... you know, case craigslist TELLS YOU THAT YOU'RE BLOCKED... and then they went around it.
Fry'em. This is the kind of shit that causes us problems and fucking morons like yourself defending it are worse.
You already do, but you're too ignorant to realize it. There are only a couple countries where suicide is legal.
I'm all for letting people commit suicide. Its great for the gene pool. It gets rid of all the pussies who can't deal with reality. People like yourself, that think suicide is an acceptable path in life should do it and prove me wrong. The sooner you do, the better off we'll all be for a whole shitload of reasons. There really is nothing logical about suicide. If you aren't dead, there is a potential for something to change. If you are dead, thats it, you no longer exist, it doesn't get better, it just goes away and so do you. I understand people who kill themselves due to medical issues, but that doesn't make it okay, it just means we failed to address all of their medical issues.
So basically you are the reason anonymous usage gets a hard time.
Perhaps you should be working rather than dicking around in online forums while you're working? Of course you find it disrespectful, you just got called out.
2) Especially given the Lavabit precedent, I can understand her decision.
That would be REALLY FUCKING STUPID.
Lavabit shutdown and their reason was 'The NSA said we can't tell you why we are shutting down!!!!'
So basically, we have no actual idea what so ever why they shut down. It truly could have been that the NSA decided to stop paying them a monthly tribute to allow access to messages.
You are rather fucking stupid to trust Lavabit anymore than anyone else. They are using the exact same excuse as the scumbag politicians use. Very convent
Seriously? There are already at least 2 published standards that can be used with little concern over being cracked any time soon when used properly. Theres absolutely no indication that SMIME or PGP are broken when using the proper algorithm and key sizes.
What exactly is that statement? I find it odd that the NSA would give a fuck about Groklaw.
The whole story sounds just flat out fishy. Doesn't mean its untrue, but I'm inclined to believe this is more publicity stunt than actually having a reason to shut down.
I typically have held Groklaw in high regard, but this sort of stunt makes me wonder. I don't particularly care to be involved in Groklaw's political crusades anymore than I want to be involved in the democrat or republican crusade.
Yea, and its against the law for politicians to lie too (seriously, it is!).
You're an idiot. TUnion, Equidix and experiscam have absolutely no incentive to fix your report and the requirement to prove them wrong is on you. It is practically impossible for them to every get in any sort of trouble for their behavior, and its that way because they lobbied it that way and we keep voting in the same politicians.
Thats cute. If they actually wanted to stop it, they'd have executed a few key people long ago. Hard to argue Checkmate with an extra couple of holes suddenly appearing in your head
No. Proper encryption, say AES in some chaining/feedback mode means you've got pretty much 0 chance of using known data to shortcut the decryption process.
EVERY single bit affects the next. Encrypt the exact same document twice, different output both times due to the salt/IV. Use the same salt, encrypt any file before the document using a chaining/feedback mode, and the document will be different than if it was done alone or with any other document. You do randomized padded at the end of the data to block size so you can't tell the file size either.
The whole system is designed so that you can know the EXACT contents of the encrypted data and it does you absolutely no good in shortcutting the process to determining the key.
I suspect they will expend a lot of hours working with outside entities to redact the documents of information that would threaten their sources or private citizens or anyone's life before releasing them, and getting their fans to mirror encrypted files is an "Insurance policy"
The do, more or less EXACTLY what the spy agencies do, except they are random people, from random countries around the world, themselves doing everything in secret and telling us how its for our own good.
Why is it, you're so eager to believe Wikileaks over the NSA when Wikileaks behaves EXACTLY like the NSA. Wikileaks IS a spy organization for fucks sakes. They just suck at it.
Why do you magically trust Wikileaks but not someone else?
I get not trusting the government, but its rather stupid to blindly trust Wikileaks to be anything different than another political party using a different set of tactics... propaganda tactics that anyone from the cold war has seen for 60 years.
Ding - Just goes to show true motivations. It has nothing to do with openness and everything to do with Wikileaks' own personal agendas.
They have nothing to fear. Assange is in fucking England and we didn't do shit to him. Its hard to argue who's more of our bitch, England or Canada, but the Canada's does it so they can avoid doing all the nasty crap we do for them (like protecting them by proxy). If he really had anything to fear, England would have been just about the dumbest place he could have went short of flying directly to some stupid senators personal police force.
But he's still there. Still alive, which again, if we wanted to do something to him, he would have just turned up dead mysteriously some morning and our response would have been something like 'yea, thats tragic! (snicker)' but he didn't.
America doesn't need to discredit wikileaks, they are masters of doing it themselves, the only people to say otherwise are the sheeple that follow them.
People are not wrong for wanting to believe in wikileaks, the idea is just. People who believe in wikileaks are wrong however, The implementation, like all things by humans, is sorely flawed in every way and is nothing more than a political group who spends its time trying to undermine peoples confidence in their leaders, regardless of reason.
People that make ignorant statements like this reporter typically don't live long when guns are involved.
People like this talk a lot of shit, then end up dead when someone gets tired of them running their mouth. In a short period of time, this sort of trash talking ends because they get called on it.
Contrary to what you might think, the hot heads and loud mouths you are most afraid are the first ones to Darwin themselves with weapons.

not technically protected by whatever media shields are available in the UK.
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.
Lets see ... because they made it public they had the data? thats we fucking stupid on their part.

No one voting for Wikileaks can possibly be considered informed. Retarded perhaps, informed, not so much.
Worshipping Assange and Wikileaks while ignoring they are entirely politically focused and doing nothing more than pushing their own personal agendas ... awesome, you want to replace the old boss with the same new boss because you're too ignorant to recognize the new guy is doing the same shit the old guys used to get into office.

You must be European. Europeans tend to be so smug about themselves that they miss the irony in their own statements.
Hint: Its not unique to America in any way, you're just oblivious to the world around you/outside of America apparently.
P.S. Irony of a Scotsman claiming he's never seen nationalist pride, fucking priceless dude.
Bwahahahahaha

There is no such things as SEO. All SEO schemes are scams from the start.
The only SEO in existence that is legitimate is making a useful site, which you can't do by being forced on SEO crap.
Thats cute. If they actually wanted to stop it, they'd have executed a few key people long ago. Hard to argue Checkmate with an extra couple of holes suddenly appearing in your head

US world pol^Wbullies.
Ironic that half of Assange's leaks show other countries begging the US to help them police their region of the world.
What will you do when America isn't there to fight your battles for you?
