And to my delight, the article was written by Julia Angwin whose book
[1] J. Angwin. Dragnet Nation: A Quest for Privacy, Security, and Freedom in a World of Relentless Surveillance. Times Books, 2014.
I recently finished and recommend. It's one of those few "books" written these days (quotation marks because they`re really more like stretched-out magazine articles) that actually make sense, come from the right place in terms of sentiment and tone, and most important are logical or coherent. I was curious about the author because I was so surprised and saw in her bio that she studied mathematics in college. Go figure ;-)
- icebraining 12y agoYeah, without taking any credit away from the donors (or from the GPG authors, of course), we should be grateful to her and ProPublica for bringing this to light. It kinda bothers me that, while I can make a donation to ProPublica, there's no way to express why I'm doing so. On the other hand, maybe there's a danger in becoming too donation-focused. EDIT: After donating, they say: "Please consider sending a note to thoughts@propublica.org or tweeting @ProPublica sharing your reason for donating. We’ll use some of these messages to encourage others to donate." Which I think is fair enough.
