I treat my FB and other accounts just like any other inbox. And that's the rub: all of these things can be replaced with email. Email - plain old text - can carry just as much info as all the web things, to my eyes - and, doesn't

Where there is smoke, there is fire. Ask yourself this: why is it so important to leak information that is being held in secrecy by a state that is committing war crimes at an alarming rate ? The answer is: because the 5-eyes War Coalition
