Patrick, care to comment? You might also want to review the conversation on the libtech list (all 62 messages) where a lot of issues related to Cyrptocat and security and activism has been discussed in great detail, and with a lot of thought and care.

(And, for the record, I have no editorial judgement one way or another - really just shared a link here.  I have appreciated, however, the really good conversation on this on libtech)
