Re: [liberationtech] Allout.org requires email address in anonymous LGBT survey
The latest news at https://aopriv.jottit.com/ is that allout.org have deleted the problematic survey. The interesting thing is that Andre Banks from AllOut says: I just heard about the potential security issue you wrote about below through an advisor who is on the LibTech list So thanks to whoever it was for explaining to AllOut how serious the problem was. This is a fine example of the importance of this list. Cheers, The Dod.

Re: [liberationtech] Allout.org requires email address in anonymous LGBT survey
As a social engineer, one wonders about the agenda of an organization that calls itself all out doing this kind of BS so...coyly. What an unfortunate mistake on their part! Imagine if someone had set such a thing up as a honeypot. Indeed. Some people believe we should be all out...it would be better for all of us as queerfolk... I can see where such a mistake might make people uneasy.
