So, they can research us - but we can’t research them. Seems we have discrimination here. Maybe we need a legal case to get this on up to the Supreme Court. They need to be told about free speech and that we have the right to congregate.

Be careful of the personal info - wouldn’t want to have them waste their time with false info.

“Maybe we need a legal case to get this on up to the Supreme Court.”

The case of the mom who posed as a teen on Myspace, the one that led to a teen’s suicide, is an important web anonymity case. It’s discussed at length on FR. The prosecution’s main case is that she fraudulently abused the Myspace servers by logging in as someone other than her own name, age, etc.

I doubt the defense will bring up the importance of anonymity with regard to the Federalist Papers and how those anonymous or pseudonymous essays shaped the constitution.

As for Steg and blowfish et al, that was posted more for everyone than just for you. My intent was to point out that it’s still possible to set up a samizdat network online.
