So, there are a few things that OWS can do with its privileged position: it can, for example, lie about what your public key is and then receive all messages intended for you. I wonder if any of the folks over there would be tempted to do that, if they disagreed strongly enough with one politician or another.
I'd hope not, and I rather think they they all hope not. But I wonder what happens when push comes to shove.
