Temporary and Anonymous accounts, protected by SSL, are the only way to speak freely without risk of consequence, and I shall continue to avail myself of their powers whenever discussing sensitive topics.

The true atrocity is not the abuses of surveillance, it's the immeasurable impact on free speech. You can count how many suffered at the hands of the system, but how many more shut up instead of risking future opportunities?

I say fuck the surveillance, fuck the [REDACTED], fuck self censorship. If you feel pressure to avoid discussing something, it's time to participate anonymously.

Karma and worldly prestige are a small price to pay for the ability to speak completely freely.

A fun experiment, but I'm no evangelical. Time to don my tin foil hat and return to intentional obscurity.
