"Can you post text?"

Only a brief summary as I posted.

Google Business Insider and then scroll down to the article on that web site.

What interests me is on-line anonymity. Since if you develop truly anonymous communications and money transfer, criminals and bad people are bound to use it, the government is going to say that the operator of the service is complicit.

(In this case, he probably was...)

Shutting down services like this, though, shuts down anonymous communications (and money transfer) for people who are not criminal but merely want privacy for legitimate reasons.

This isn’t just about the US. In a lot of countries, this kind of privacy can be a matter of personal security if your opinions are out of favor, if the police and government are themselves a criminal enterprise and its important to keep your finances private. In a lot of countries you try to keep a low profile financially to avoid being a target.

We live in a world in which privacy is being criminalized.

If it works for you, maybe some of us that it doesnt work for can benefit from a text paste ... Is text pasting BANNED ?

[blam]

I can remember when many radio stations would not play this song because they said it suggested drug taking.

Is text pasting BANNED ?

Yes: "businessinsider.com must be excerpted."

[ConservingFreedom]

Seriously? What a putz.

Boy O Boy.

I was living in the SF Bay area during that period.
My only child was conceived in Golden Gate Park in 1967 (The Summer Of Love) at a free Grateful Dead Concert.
(He has a PhD (physics) and is a big shot now, so, it did him no harm, lol)

Another dumbass who used a personal email with his REAL name for illegal things.

And there already are several other sites that will simply get the business of this one.

Nothing changed except for more taxpayer money down the WOD sewer
