Privacy, censorship, & security in the news.

Here are a collection of links to articles I have found about privacy, censorship, and securty that are worth a read! I can't possibly write articles covering all the news on these topics, but I can share some good articles from other websites with you here instead. Note that I occasionally find a decent article from a source I can't stand. In this case, I will run the link through "archive.today" so I don't send the site in question any traffic.
