Poindexter's Ever Shrinking TIA Website
from the and-so-it-goes dept
Tim writes "Declan McCullagh and the Politechbot regulars are doing a great job of documenting all the changes that Poindexter's crew are making to the Total Information Awareness portion of DARPA's website. It's shrinking again. Highly recommended and highly amusing. Note that no policy has been changed, just the presentation of it, and now less information is being given out. Do we detect a theme here?" I saw this last week and was wondering how much of this they're doing (1) in response to public outcry (2) coincidentally, without realizing that people are watching/pissed off or (3) to piss off all those geeks/privacy wonks on purpose?
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
