After 6 months of anti-mass surveillance activism,I'd like to share an insight with the community. The problem with the NSA is not just one or more illegal program but their operating culture and philosophy. The NSA has gone into the b

Any thought on the effect increased programmability in telecom networks is going to be on Network Neutrality? It seems likely to me that regular IP routing is likely to become the "slow lane" on the Internet?

If all we were about was building a petition site I'd agree with you. Restore the Fourth SF has already written an SF City Council resolutions, gotten an Apple Shareholder proposal and organized two public protests. This is just the op
