>> First, editorailized headlines are not allowed by site rules. (EDIT: The headline is now changed. It previously read, "Change your IP, go to jail" or something like that.) sorry if I find this amusing, the article is also about rules and people interpretation of them, freedom to access information, broadly speaking freedom. As journalists are free to make up their title when reporting news, interpreting by their PoV, why are we not allowed to do same? Don't get me wrong, good rules are good (though yhey require trust), but that comment on this very news made me smile.

  Most of us hold ourselves to higher standards than a Journalist does.

    You imply that a journalist is a lower life form that cannot possible be expected to rise at or above "our" higher than life standards. Did you say that in a low voice tone for added emphasis?

      Have you not heard about the levenson inquiry about the decades of abuse and corruption in the UK. Yes that is the General perception of Journalists in the UK.

  And get heckled instead for blogspam, with a high voted comment asking why we don't just point at the original source instead. Catch 22.
