Levinson's system did work because it had a fail-safe which was to self-destruct when faced with certain legal threats. And as a bonus it acted as a canary letting the whole world know about the government's secret activity. I think it was very well designed. I would trust my private communication with him again.
- sroerick 12y agoYou know, I've read easily a dozen articles on Levison, and I realised just now that to this very day, I've never read his warrant canary, nor did I know that it was his warrant canary that first broke the warrant request to the public. You don't happen to have a link to either of those, do you?
- zaroth 12y agoThere was no canary. The system was the canary. Although, almost certainly not by design.
