Over at the Guardian offices, British police destroyed more of the newspaper’s hard drives. Privacy blogger Dan Tynan sees where this one is going: reporters like Greenwald are going to stop even bothering to be circumspect with their revelations.

Eventually, the information will just be dumped online, warts and all, as soon as someone who wants the information public gets ahold of it.”… jfruh writes “As we discussed this weekend, David Miranda, the partner of the Guardian’s Glenn Greenwald, was detained while transporting encrypted data on the Snowden affair from Berlin; all his electronics were destroyed.
