| schestowitz | Anonymous speech is important, but I never used it. I guess I'm not afraid of retribution. People can identify the voice based on language, style, and knowledge. So one's anonymous voice depends not only on technical means but also on the message itself. Moving from non-anonymous to anonymous (and not self-censoring to hide style) is hard, but posting anonymously all along might work. Microsoft astroturf agents, like the ones | Aug 01 18:52 |

His argument takes a few turns, but centers on a scenario that is a bit too easy to imagine: a government coercing software developers into disabling their encryption: 'There are a whole host of things one could buy to weaken encryption.
