[liberationtech] Internet privacy provider

[Yosem Companys]

Hey all,

Oops, sorry for my duplicate email on Declan's article about Nick's
project. I've been away doing research the past couple of days, and I
missed Terry's original email that started this thread.

I'd just like to note that Nick is on this list, and I'm sure he'd welcome
your questions and feedback on his project.  He really has the best of
intentions and lots of experience, so I really hope he succeeds where
others have struggled.  To do that, though, he'll need all the help he can
get from the larger liberationtech community.

Best,

Yosem
