My niece unfollowed me on twitter based on the Palestinian activists I was following and was followed by (not many, but that’s beside the point). I tried to explain, but there’s colleges to get into, jobs to be backgrounded for, etc.
I guess we’re all going to have to make choices. Tor remains uncracked. Maybe back to samizdat. Or something. Or maybe just leave it out in the open that some desk jockey in Virginian gets his or her jollies in such quantity that it all becomes noise/zebra effect.
Great strip.

I think you might as well go ahead and tell your friend whatever you’d like her to know. If secret police organisations want to find out about someone I can’t believe that simple discretion is much of a barrier. Your courage in producing a work called ‘Tear Gas in the Morning’ will be noticed by both admiring and invidious eyes.

Marvellous!
DON’T TRY THIS AT HOME!
DON’T TRY THIS AT HOME!
DON’T TRY THIS AT HOME!
I sometimes think we should fill our emails with formal “this is for NSA” paragraphs saying, maybe,
“Ahmed, Mohammed, bombs, joke, terrorism, explode, anti-imperialism, New York city subway, anti-USA, really funny, anti-Israel, Boston water supply, let’s blow up, planning, tomorrow’s the day — hey, hey, NSA, you listening in, did I make your day?”
After all, they are not supposed to be listening to us! so if we waste their time, they were acting illegally in the first place. Or were they? What would the corporate-imperialist supreme court have to say, years later?
If millions of people did this, and varied the messages to defeat the pattern-recognition software, we might tie the NSA in knots (at least, until legislation or regulation made such [jokey] stuff even more dangerous than it doubtless already is. (Don’t talk that way in the airport’s security line!)
DON’T DO IT! PROBABLY GET YOU IN TROUBLE.
DON’T DO IT! PROBABLY GET YOU IN TROUBLE.

This girl a great talent.
