Britain forced Guardian to destroy copy of Snowden material

    "*Britain* forced Guardian to destroy..."

    "*a british official* advised ... "

    "*two "security experts" from Government Communications Headquarters* ...  visited the Guardian's London offices."

    ".... was detained by *British authorities* ...." 

    "the NSA", "the Government" etc.

At the end of the day, these agencies are made of people, who make decisions. While the aim should be to keep the 'agencies' under check, the general population resisting them need to target (and I do not mean attack their home or family members or something like that, I only mean to put the individuals under the spotlight) to "name and shame" the entity with feelings, family, emotions, weaknesses etc. under scrutiny. Just as the Snowdens and the greenwalds choices come with with the consequences, so should be the case for the british officials who chose to take a stand.

Oh well, that's it then. The data's all gone now. Job done, boys. Bravo.

def. a distribute system where content is sufficiently replicated and anonimized, and can survive partial loss. Whereas storing on a single server at your or your friends' house is not.

Present examples may include Tahoe LAFS

Think of where this leads, the current actors who have taken this route. Hosts are "bulletproof" operators sacrificing themselves until raided or de-peered for a low low(high) cost. Nights are slaved away making private end to end networks of proxies and vpns, built to buffer contact from your own servers. You end up paying people to buy your phones.

In the end most are jailed after 'parallel' investigations are made upon them. Associates are thrown in jail with violent offenders so they can be used as snitches when they flip. You are threatened with rape by men of law, "those boys will fuck you good."

Enough with the pathetic urges to code out of this. Please.
