This over reach is so terrifying it's almost funny. Always use a VPN and/or Tor.

FB is inherently evil and must be stopped at all costs. And your last part about giving those two groups a platform: so fucking what? Those groups are much more prestigious than our 'leaders'.

I'd say this is very thoughtful and rational, and if I was the owner of the site in question, I would be thankful for poweruser comments.

Why is this not on the front page?

What use is the DEA to normal, everyday Americans?

At this point, if you can't see how fucked up the US legal system is, I am sorry.

Federal court has in the 90 percent conviction rate. Is it because they have such air tight cases and evidence to follow? No, it's a purely political kangaroo court.

Someone would do well do wipe this cancerous 'judicial' system off grid.

Well thanks, I did not know that about ZT.

Would be awesome after you make some money back if you could open hardware it for those of us who require full trust!

It's so pathetic, everything 'terrorist' these days purely means what the government/private corporation doesn't like.

That has to be the most lame excuse I've ever heard, at least it's funny!

What if I were to make encrypted phones and software for high net worth individuals and celebrities?

I certainly agree with you. I just posted a few days ago saying I would never trust this company.

In fact, I would never trust a company that didn't explicitly state that the company having a central server facilitating operations (Signal, et all) is a huge risk.

These kinds of compensations are not unheard of at all in tech. While I'm not making quite as much as OP, I am coming close.

Yeah, that is pretty rough. I've been in similar situations and I tell my self to just try to be a better person today than to dwell over the past. I can't change what I've done but try to do better.

All the big nation's pull this, unfortunately. Just some take longer to be reported on.

We need to demand accountability for the countries that supply, and use these tools of terror.

I trust my versions of Linux infinitely more times than anything corporate made, despite the claims, just as you succinctly said.

That's pretty useful, thanks.

I can setup a monitor (FOSS) for the computer that is doing the site monitoring, since I only use open source software that I can inspect.

I'm not sure with this instance but I do know that people complained since CF is the antithesis of privacy and the free internet.

AU needs to be stopped. Resources should be put to this.

You got played. Just remember to never trust marketing in the future and always read the fine print, no matter how long it may be.

I'm glad that they are at least removing that fallacy and people can't quote it any longer.

Don't trust DDG.

If you create, they will come.

I've always said never trust PM. See Cryptome for more info.

Also, their VPN...

Hey, we can't slander or marginalize any group now. Criminals have rights!

Would not trust.

It would 'enable' more people if it ran a free, open source operating system.

The only thing it's enabling is another human rights disrespecting corporation.

I can proudly say I am one of those people building a private, better, future :)

I really despise when corporations choose to censor their customers and users. I don't care what the content is if it's technically legal.

If it matters at all, I am neutral about abortion.

This is a perspective I had not even considered and that is why I am glad I came to HN to learn.
