This piece is so incredibly irresponsible. If someone uses this to leak truly important information, they should not be surprised to quickly receive knock on the door and a dark cell. There are many people in a position to leak things who are not involved in technology and may believe these steps as adequate for their protection.
- mcherm 10y ago> This piece is so incredibly irresponsible. Perhaps. Can you write a better one?
- alva 10y agoNo I can't. But if I had wrote this piece I would slap an absolutely massive disclaimer at the top warning leakers-to-be that these steps alone are very far from properly protecting yourself.
- verytrivial 10y agoI think that is overstating it. If you compare doing this to simply emailing en clair from a personal or work computer is it significantly more secure. If the leaker is already under close physical or technical surveillance there is very little they can do about it.
- mejari 10y agoThe additional risk is the assumption of protection. Someone who doesn't use this site and knows they are under watch may decide not to leak the information because they're aware of their risk. They could get a false sense of security from this site and leak information they otherwise wouldn't have, and are likely to be caught.
