Just a question I want to visit the United States next year.
Will my posts on this board be a problem or am I being paranoid?

That ENTROPY could come in real handy.

The problem is, you still need an internet connection. Your ISP could be regulated into stopping people from using it. Unless you find a free ISP that anyone can dial into.

I don't worry so much about overt censorship in the US; realistically a larger concern is the proliferation of mindless junque that swamps out the network and wastes peoples' cognitive bandwidth on superficial distractions.

I'll worry about it more if, comes the day after Election Day, we still have a one-party state (hey Republicans: hold your nose and vote for a Democrat. It's not about Democrats per se, it's about competition and checks & balances!).

However, Entropy, along with cryptographic and steganographic tools, can be considered as a First Amendment analogue to Second Amendment firearms: something you can keep & bear in order to protect your freedom should the need ever arise. And there's no time like the present to get started.

I'm sure that most people who are caught for posting content that their country deems illegal have provided their information. Busting people by IP address in large numbers isn't feasible. It takes a fair amount of investigation through a large pool of ISPs to find the identity through IP address alone. Governments may make examples of a small number of the loudest protestors, but it would be too expensive to catch large numbers. We are relatively safe just by being part of the crowd.

If you are still worried, you can purchase access to run your internet connection through a foreign proxy server. The only way a government can truly control the flow of information is if it shut down all private ISPs and required all internet users to use a government run ISP. Until that happens, I wouldn't worry. Just don't be a fool and post information about who you are.

>> If you are still worried, you can purchase access to run your internet connection through a foreign proxy server.

I've thought about doing that ... but then if you were a blackmailer or a goverment spook, where would you find the richest pickings?

Yep, at proxy servers!

I wonder how many are actually "honey pots" set up to attract those who have secret commercial or other messages to send, or who wish to view political websites?

I wonder how many are legit .. BUT ... have their traffic tapped?

It's what I would do if I were a government spook!

I didnt see "America" listed in there anywhere.
In fact, I didnt see any mention of any country in North America.

I guess our tinfoil hat wearing libtards are getting spooked by the boogie man again.

Half jokingly of course, there is actually a case going on right now about blogs and freedom of speech.

Yes I want to go to New York.
I may not like Bush and his goverment and I don't like those who voted for him but I would still like to visit the Big Apple.
Funny thing I love my own country but I hate the goverment.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'I')'ve been there. Really you're not missing much. If you want the same effect, just get 15 friends, jam yourselves into an elevator, have someone puke on the floor, then turn loose a half pound of cockroaches and three rats.
