I got really burned re: YouTube banning, which I wasn't able to overturn, had no due process, no real evidence presented and threatened by outsourced creeps with "Federal government jailtime" pasted into a reply. So I don't trust these organization and what they can or can't access; the least I can do is not make it easy for them.

Thanks, Alan
