U.S. develops panic button for democracy activists Full article: http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/03/25/us-rights-usa-technology-idUSTRE7206DH20110325 Now at http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSN2527265620110325 That's great. At the same time many govts allow mobile providers to track users, even by longitude / latitude. http://www.dslreports.com/shownews/NY-Times-Realizes-Wireless-Carriers-Track-You-113416 If mobile providers have the technology or are allowed to, so can govts. I sleep better at night just knowing (any) govt has its ( other countries') citizens' best interests at heart. (little sarcasm). A govt's word is as good as gold - they've never lied (from beginning of recorded history), have they? I am a little concerned though, about the US violating the constitution in numerous ways to spy on citizens in numerous ways. (remember the congressional hearings on telephone internet?) If you want to know what (any) govt's up to, have to go elsewhere dig deep for news insight, not depend on info from the govt(s), nightly news or newspapers. Don't ask the fox guarding the hen house how things are. Something is only a conspiracy theory when no facts, evidence (or sometimes even common sense about it) exist. ___ don't know if anyone remembers about, oh, I don't know, about 1-3? years ago the U.S. government and U.S. military admitted that the U.S. military had been used to spy domestically on U.S. citizens. That, is specifically prohibited by Federal law, law the Feds break. They, your government, should never be trusted, ever. It is time to disband the gangs of the government and all American institutions that are broke (they can't be fixed), that don't solve problems (none of them do) and stop using the same ole, broken, impractical and unusable tools we have or have been given or allowed to use, that to this very day, have not, do not and will not fix the problems WE, the people have. Yet that is the box most willingly stay in, think in, believe in and speak in. If it doesn't solve the problems we need solved, then it is irrelevant to our lives and needs to be discarded with something that works, in its place. That is usually, people: us/US Things are always left to us/US to take care of and WE do, so take a look around you and be honest to yourself. Sorry for the rant but that's all there seems to be. No action being taken in other words, or are 'ya gonna vote!

This is unrelated to Torbutton's cookie handling (which was broken but has since been fixed). Personally, I got a friend on IRC to let me use his phone for it. 1st I've heard they REQUIRE a phone # to use Gmail over Tor. Anyone else aware this is the only way? I'd bet, from the Google message about unusual activity, it was because the exit node wasn't in the same country I used when created acct. Can you expand a little of Torbutton's cookie handling being fixed? Again, I'm using TB 1.3.2a.
