  19. Re:Wake up! Domestic spying is bad news. on Data Retention Proven to Change Citizen Behavior · · Score: 2, Informative

    I don't see how paying for software, or getting it for free, has anything to do with one's ability to preserve privacy and political security.

    Free software is not about money, as is free in "free beer". It is about freedom as is in "free speech".

    With commercial software you have no legal possibility nor adequate technical tools to deeply verify if software you use has backdoors or anything else you do not want to be there inside your computer, phone, videorecorder, anything. And actually it does not matter if such malvare serves to government mafians or criminal ruffians. Whoever they are, THEY have control of all your information interactions. You have no privacy at all.

    With Free Software, if you care to train your relevant skills, you at least have a chance to affect what kind of software you use and how and this means indirectly YOU have control of your information interactions. That's privacy.

    Implications of both situations to political security are obvious.

  23. More Crime... on Post-Suicide Account Cracking? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Dear anonymous reader,

    Your "good" friend may have murdered her brother as well. From what you say, a suicide is unlikely without some strong reason and without death note. If some information related to such crime is to be found on his account, not only you could be involved in murder case, but you may be in life danger yourself knowing some key information about it, just in case your "good" friend wants to clean up all traces.
