no one is willing to go to jail over their users' data

• grecy 11y ago
  I would argue that Snowden was.
  • DKnoll 11y ago
    That's clever... but a totally different situation.

    Then you must have missed the part where he fled the country to avoid going to jail.

      "Willing to go to jail if necessary" != "actively wants to become a negative example to other potential wistleblowers"
      • 794CD01 11y ago
        Why are you adding "if necessary" out of nowhere?
        • fiatmoney 11y ago
          It makes the implication of "willing" explicit. Perhaps it should be in parenthesis or brackets.
          • 794CD01 11y ago
            It makes the implication different. Ask Nelson Mandela.
            • fiatmoney 11y ago
              Snowden has given that explicit rationale.
              • 794CD01 11y ago
                He says a lot of dumb shit. That's forgivable, he's in a stressful situation.
    • LesZedCB 11y ago
      just because he tried to escape it doesn't mean he didn't make that decision...
      • 794CD01 11y ago
        Doesn't it? He's not in jail right now.
    • pluma 11y ago
      Do you expect he will get a fair trial? You can be a hero without being an idiot.
      • 794CD01 11y ago
        You can try, but as Snowden has shown, it's not nearly as effective.

  Except that some people are. Most such people just don't run big services like Reddit.
