Writing the Snowden Files: 'The paragraph began to self-delete'
- infruset 13y agoSo, after they first deleted some of his text while he was writing, he kept writing with an internet connection on? So that it happened again and again? Doesn't sound all that smart.

- samstave 13y agoHeh. The other day I posted either on HN or Reddit a comment bashing the NSA and literally the moment I completed the sentence, my whole machine locked up and I had to do a hard reset... Not that I attributed it to the NSA, but I found the incident weirdly amusing.
