“Seven things you should know about Tor… Snowden on Games… WordPress vs. Blogger…Cyberculture agenda…

Edward Joseph 'Ed' Snowden
Here is a passage from chapter two of ↑Glenn Greenwald‘s excellent newest book “No Place to Hide: Edward Snowden, the NSA, and the U.S. Surveillance State” (2014), which I’ve recently read:

Tor (The Onion Router) is a military-grade, secure tool for increasing the privacy and anonymity of your communications; but it’s been the subject of plenty of fear, uncertainty and doubt.

[I posted this first in the Message collection at Medium, where I do most of my regular writing these days. I’m cross-posting here both for archival purposes, but because many people use RSS (yeay RSS!) to read blogs, including this one.]

There’s been a lot of brouhaha about a recent Facebook study in which Facebook altered the news feed of 689,000 of its users to see if moods were “contagious.” There has huge discussion of its ethics, and another one on its publication. There’s also the argument that the effect sizes were actually not that large (though it seems the researchers kept them small on purpose) and whether the research was well done.

We are often asked by new users why they should use WordPress instead of a free blogging service like WordPress.com or Blogger? WPBeginner is the largest resource site for WordPress beginners, so it is obvious that we favor WordPress over other blogging platforms. In this article, we will compare WordPress vs Blogger to help you decide which one is better for your needs. We will cover the pros and cons of each, so you can make the best decision when it comes WordPress vs. Blogger as a platform for your site.
