- ehsankia 8y agoI personally find it a bit suspicious that every single piece of information we have on Dragonfly has come from The Intercept, which probably got it all from a single source. And yet everyone in these threads take all this info as fact. Clearly if it was so open, we'd have a lot more sources here. I also don't feel right making judgement on a project when I've only heard one side of the story, from a source which is clearly biased against it.
- 0xfffafaCrash 8y agoThe Intercept is an obvious choice to leak this sort of information, especially given their reputation for having the backs of their sources (with one notable failure -- the NSA leak where they published raw documents leading inadvertently to an identification of the source due to printer stenography) and focus on tech/surveillance issues. The previous stories re: Dragonfly were widely corroborated by many involved at Google since the story broke and reputable sources like the NYT had significant corroborating coverage. I don't see why it's suspicious or indicative that it's coming from a single source just because the Intercept is breaking more of these stories. Anyone familiar with what's been leaked and any interest in publishing an update on this story would have little reason to send it elsewhere instead.
