coderman: this is removed currently, but the incident highlighted the centralized and vulnerable architecture of jap
coderman: and most technical people who understand strong privacy now refuse to use it
coderman: others however are addicted to its relative speediness compared to tor and freenet, and hope for the best
coderman: "the Feds undoubtedly appreciated the JAP team's willingness to back-door the app while saying nothing about it a lot more than they would have appreciated seeing the service shut down with a warning that JAP can no longer fulfill its stated obligation to protect anonymity due to police interference."
seti: it was also a useful exercise in finding out how well people actually read the source code of free software before running it. groupthink -> "somebody else will likely have vetted this code already"?
