Comment on Transcript of meeting between Julian Assange and Google CEO Eric Schmidtparent

Comments

The fundamental flaw with an anonymity-structuree news information system as acknowledged by Assange:

"There is many ways for people to transmit anonymously. One of the greatest difficulties for sources is their proximity to the material. So if they have high proximity to it and it's a limited number of people know it. It actually doesn't matter what technical mechanism you then apply at the top. It would be quite difficult for them to evade scrutiny. And it doesn't matter what country or regime you are in."
