As I mentioned on the U.S. Politics thread, I'm a media adviser at a public university in Florida, which boasts one of the most liberal sunshine laws in the country. We routinely remind student reporters trying to get relevant information that university emails are part of the public record, and we can access them by FOIA if necessary. I know enough to keep private business off university email.
I know nothing about Alaska's public access laws, but it explains why Sarah Palin relied on her Yahoo account for her campaigning – she knows the score.

Fools. You think he is dancing. Clearly, these are highly coded movements he is using to signal a possible source of classified government intelligence, who I am assuming is signaling back with a glow stick.

it's pretty stupid, tbh. the only reason they're possibly subject to FOIA, as i understand it, is because the correspondence in question took place on university (state) email rather than personal email. i do not think publicly-employed academics/university professors should be accountable to taxpayers the same way elected officials are; adademic freedom is at stake here it seems and hopefully a judge will block the request, though i'm not terribly familiar with the law as it applies to this case nor have i been following it that closely

But Assange objected to some articles the Guardian and the New York Times had written, notably those detailing the Swedish sex allegations over which he is currently fighting extradition. He decided to tear up the original deal. According to those close to him, he conceived a plan instead to distribute the Guantánamo material only to a range of rival papers, including the right-wing Daily Telegraph, the Washington Post and Al Jazeera, whilst preventing readers of the Guardian and the New York Times from having access to it.The New York Times, however, obtained the file from its own sources. When other papers discovered the Guardian and New York Times joint publishing plans late last night, they hurried out their own versions of the Guantánamo files, in an attempt to catch up.

yeah, in the same way a a garden hoe is a "tool" for gardening. like, it's useful for this purpose
"It's not a matter of serving a subpoena," he told RT. "They have an interface that they have developed for U.S. intelligence to use."
is this surprising? wasn't there just a big thing recently about how the government wanted cell phone companies to structure their databases and lines to be more easily intercepted? i don't think assange is exactly cooking up a conspiracy theory here
― estkella (k3vin k.), Wednesday, 4 May 2011 21:56 (twelve years ago) link
i dunno man, "having their own interface" is way different from serving a subpoena
also weird that he doesnt have any documents to back up what he's saying
also i was unaware i had a rep for dropping "gossip updates" on political threads-- when else have i done this?

idk the article you posted isn't "news", and from what i can tell what you seem to bring to the table on these threads is similarly tangential/lol articles or whatever. and that's cool, i'm not mad. i guess i'm also/mostly remembering your obsession with the personal life of that arizona shooter a few months ago

sorry if that bugged you but i mean, that was a news event as much as a "political thread". (gun rights debate amirite). also i spent my adolescence in Tucson so maybe i was more interested in that stuff that the average "political thread reader". i dunno.

Was Julian Assange prepared to publish some of the leaked documents without adequately redacting the names of people who could have been harmed by the disclosures? “Julian was very reluctant to delete those names, to redact them.” David Leigh of the Guardian newspaper tells FRONTLINE of meetings he attended with Assange in the run-up to publication of the war logs. “And we said: ‘Julian, we’ve got to do something about these redactions. We really have got to.’ And he said: ‘These people were collaborators, informants. They deserve to die.’ And a silence fell around the table.”
