When I asked for universal private browsing, Foundation Legal staff
accused me of trying to frustrate the NSA. I am not sure whether there
has been a reply to my question about how asking them to come in to
compliance with the law is more frustrating than helpful to them. In
the mean time, I would rather address specific instances of government
attempts to conceal information by editing Wikipedia. Again, this is a
very eventualist attitude and I worry that it may be too eventualist.

Best regards,
