I also found out how they got the redactions back. The DCMS first released this report using a flawed “Government Approved” version of Abode. They soon realised that their redactions could be bypassed using only copy & paste and took it offline before releasing a fixed version. As you can see the damage had already been done.

I think the DCMS has acted shamefully. This OFCOM report was paid for out of public funds and yet they want to censor it from the public. Currently certain people are having an official full copy released under the freedom of information act which can be used as part of BT’s next court case on their Cleanfeed blocking.

The report makes clear that site blocking is ineffective and easily bypassed. So what does that say for blocking NewzBin2? It can’t be done where they can only try and fail.

I can also predict now that if BT does use Cleanfeed for censorship of copyrighted media that their system will come under a major attack that could seriously damage their system. Well BT when they first made Cleanfeed did promise the concerned that it would never be used for other forms of censorship. They are about to break that promise even if by court order.

You prove a very good point. I don’t know how to address each thing you’ve said, but I’m going to summarize what I’m thinking:

Every year, seemingly, “Whistle-blowers” are in even more jeopardy because of laws passing that make them in danger. That was worded badly, but you know what I’m trying to say.

While I still don’t like the idea of any terrorist organization knowing exactly what we’ve been doing and what we’re planning on doing, it’s a tough line to straddle. I’m really quite surprised the Osama B. Laden operation was never leaked, at least to my knowledge. I still don’t like the idea of downloading anything off there, and to this date haven’t, because I feel like the FBI will put me on one of their lists. (don’t forget, the HUAC was dissolved in 1975. That wasn’t that long ago, and the FBI, CIA, NSA still keep to Clandestine behaviors that are completely unacceptable.)

I guess that’s all we can do. Rant, Protest, and use our mouths and computers against the Government. That’s about all we can do, legally. I’ve often thought about being a politician, but I’ve decided I couldn’t deal with all the bullshit it comes with, and the level of corruption I’m going to have to deal with and myself probably put myself through. Especially with either party and their fun technique named “Gerrymandering” if I’m not mistaken, which is completely wrong and disgusting.

That and Lobbying. I hate lobbying. It’s disgusting and a disgrace to free and corruption free politics, which also doesn’t exist.

Such reckless comments help no-one and hinder those of us who fight ‘the good cause’ honourably and peacefully.
