- xox 17y agoNote to self: starting developing online collaborative planning tool for criminal activity that can be guaranteed secure from search warrants. High monetization potential.
- dflock 17y agoI suspect that getting criminals to pay you might be difficult - and blackmailing them sounds dangerous ;)
- jared314 17y agoBotnets do it. It can't be too hard.

- dflock 17y agoIsn't that the other way around? Botnets sometimes blackmail (random-ish) ordinary folk into paying off criminals, rather than you getting criminals to pay you?
- vtail 17y agoRemove the word 'criminal' above - and people living in non-democratic countries, such as Iran, Uzbekistan, Russia, China etc. will be very grateful to you.

- madtantric 17y agoRussia and Iran have democratically elected presidents. How is that non-democratic?. Democracy does not mean "complying to US dictates". Fully agree with the overall point though.
- _delirium 17y agoI could be misremembering, but I thought there was some pretty big hubbub over Iran's election!
- Super_Jambo 17y agoWhere as recent US elections have been almost entirely hubbub free. (I agree there is a difference in extremity)
- vtail 17y agoI'm from Russia originally, and current political system doesn't look democratic to me - elections are forged, all TV is state owned/controlled, very few independent newspapers, government is corrupted, one political party is in charge with no alternatives etc. - but your mileage may vary of course.
- MichaelGG 17y agoIs anyone aware of any such services that actually allow encryption that _you_ control? I.e., keyed off a password you provide?
- gloob 17y agoThat wouldn't be controlling the encryption; that would be giving whoever runs the webserver your data and a key and hoping that they actually use the latter. Controlling encryption means you do the encryption. Edit: Provided I'm understanding you correctly, of course. I might not have.
- tomjen3 17y agoI think you miss understand him - the encryption would happen entirely on your side. That way if a warrant was presented, all they would have would be a bunch of unreadable files.
- tomjen3 17y agoI think tarsnap is the closest.
- piguy314 17y agoOther than the warrant being furnished "under seal" everything here seems to be above board.
