   Flatstrap doesn't work for me (mainly, "download flatstrap" just.... downloads the website... with standard Bootstrap.)

   They also keep sort of "reverse lookup" information on everyone - basically, what other people have you in their address books. They keep this information on you even if you are not a Facebook user.

   news.ycombinator does this too. edit: at least for me, it's impossible to log in to HN and when I occasionally succesfully log im, everything I post while being on Tor is instantly dead.

   They don't have to be lying. 19k over 6 months is still quite a large number, I think.

   They are probably angry that European Union doesn't have such a program, too.

   I know one that is easy to use, secure and working (because I very slighty helped with the development). http://www.mailvelope.com/ It is more secure than you would think - see http://www.mailvelope.com/bl

   No. Because most people don't care about privacy that much. See TSA scanners, foursquare, hell GMail scans your data everytime you read mails, Facebook doesn't even pretend there is a privacy. Damn, first thing any Apple computer

    ummm.... where will my money actually go? The campaign is very light on details. I will not give them money just because they used his picture in a header. I will rather post the money to EFF

    I have problems even logging in on ycombinator with tor. Not to mention any site with anti-spam protection.

    Anything from The Onion is automatically dead. I think it's blacklisted on HN.

    Thanks for this information, I didn't knew that and I admit, I took the original report at a face value. However, the general point still stands - RetroShare is routing random traffic through you, if you happen to be near the nodes.

    One important thing with RetroShare: Don't add random strangers that you don't trust. Once you have someone as your "friend", random traffic will go between you and him (the network works as sort of p2p). If that "f

    Well it's pretty clear now https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5843352 They don't have direct backdoor, but they have a system in place for a fast and effortless data sharing.

    In at least two cases, at Google and Facebook, one of the plans discussed was to build separate, secure portals, like a digital version of the secure physical rooms that have long existed for classified information, in some instances on co

    What I don't get is: from US government, we got confirmations - half-ass confirmations, but still confirmations - that PRISM is real, we maybe have some information wrong and we should stop asking and talking about it, but it's re

    Is this article providing anything new? It seems just like a rehash of all the old articles, with a speculative title.

    Yeah, it actually makes sense. If you read the official Prism description, it is pretty vague (it takes some... data formats? I guess? and converts it to.. different data formats? I think?), but nothing from the description matches the Guar
