"... I follow a few high profile tech news source, but I never heard of Freedombox. ..." That's why it's important to read HN. Eben Moglen is one of the few lawyers I bother to listen too. It helps he has a CS background. Moglen did a talk at New York Technology Council & Internet Society, Friday, February 5, 2010 that outlined the idea behind the freedom box. I remember watching & listening to the recording just after the speech. It's worth the watch/listen to get the idea in full. The idea in short, "Own your own logs". Third parties can't infer what they don't have.
