I really would want to donate to them. But you know I kind of feel weary now connecting my PayPal Account with them. I hope some kind of organisation is standing up for them. Like EFF or something. Not because I don't trust them. But because I don't trust the NSA. They might flag me as a terrorist or something. Then again I'm probably already on this list for having some technical involvment with something the US gov doesn't like.
I guess it purely a coincedence that Snowden used a lavabit address the last few weeks. I guess there is no relation at all.
- jerfelix 13y agoThere should be a bitcoin address for donations. There's no reason to trust me, but if you send me bitcoins, I'll convert to dollars and send to the fund. You preserve your anonymity. I'll convert all donations at the end of each month. 173WSQxBiwswTtMBxnnhGTZJtTy2RrdLgn

- lawl 13y agoThanks for the offer, unfortunately I don't have any bitcoins so i would first have to buy them. Which I would have to do with money that can be traced back to me...
- Dosenpfand 13y agoIf you're so easily intimidated why do you still post comments about the NSA on the internet?
- aspensmonster 13y agoBecause the list of mere sympathizers, while surely long, is not nearly as bad a list to find oneself on as a list of material supporters. Squeal all you want, but if you want to speak with your wallet... Watch out. That is of course assuming that donations are even possible and that the recipient is not the target of an international banking blockade designed specifically to financially starve politically undesirable organizations.
- lawl 13y agoThis. And structured data vs. unstructured data :)
- cheald 13y agoI had the exact same thought. The chilling effects here are tangible - I am avoiding exercising what are ostensibly my freedoms because I fear reprisal by my government.
- muyuu 13y agoThey need to set up a Bitcoin address. Things like this remind me of the importance of anonymous (or pseudonymous) payment.
