roy_1"Ouch. It was not Bezos' paper when he started working there. You can argue that the purpose of his work is to bring more community input into things to fight propaganda. It's probably true that he has been recruited to waste his efforts on what's really an astroturf program, designed to give a false impression of community. If that's true, he won't be there long."Oct 02 21:56

roy_1 b"They used to move that by hard drive but it makes more sense to continually sync by network. I'm not sure that makes things worse from a privacy standpoint. The NSA and other US Government agents can already walk in and demand anything they want. One point of the U SAP AT RIOT ACT was to use private data. Google could use rsync and similar to protect the data stream. Even if it was sent in the clear putting it all back together again Oct 02 21:58

roy_1NSA staff can read a lot of email, so I assume they already have access to many password. Also, Google et al. use weak encryption to appease the NSA,r provide back doors. MSFT is famous for this now...Oct 02 21:59
