[liberationtech] Has LinkedIn launched a borderline Denial of Service attack against Tor?

2014-06-30 Thread S.G.Davies
Hello all,
For some time now I've been concerned about the inability of many Tor users to 
access LinkedIn  - and more importantly, the fact that attempting to use 
LinkedIn results in a fatal freeze. It seems to me that something isn't right 
here, so I've written a short piece on it. I'd be grateful for any thoughts you 
have.

[liberationtech] Global analysis published today on government responses to Snowden disclosures

2014-06-10 Thread S.G.Davies
Hello everyone,

I thought you might be interested to know that a report has been published 
today which assesses the responses internationally by government and industry 
in the year since the first Snowden disclosures. The scenario, I'm afraid, is 
not entirely optimistic.

I've blogged about it on the Privacy Surgeon site and a pdf copy of the report 
can also be downloaded from there
