I wonder if that wasn't always the case.
- ehsankia 7y agoI don't want to live in a world were "journalists" just dump any sensitive information they get their hands out with complete disregard for what harms it can cause, and doing nothing to actually vet the information beforehand. If that's a "bleak future" then let it be.

- ehsankia 7y agoThe Guardian, WP and NYT did just fine with Snowden's material. So I guess in your mind it would also be perfectly fine if someone tool all your data including your passwords and released it to the public, right?

- ehsankia 7y agoIf you really believe that three different papers actively hit crucial information, then there's not much I can say that would convince you otherwise honestly.
