  Thank you, everyone. @Ant, never heard about the silkroad before. Interesting story. Looks like there is no silver bullet, as always

  Even a Tor site would be subject to methods that would de-anon a user. The likes of the FBI etc have done this for several sites such as the silkroad and others using techniques learned during WW2

  @vsevolod AFAIK there is no where that is unpoliced on the general internet. A Tor only website may provide this, but I can't say I have seen one.... Development is steady away. I'm not 100% sure adding more features will benefit users.

  I think you're exaggerating things a bit. There's a lot of places with pretty inflammatory/questionable content. Imageboards and forums aplenty.

  Hi, @Joe. How do you think, is there a place in the Internet where everyone can post anything, and no governments can force to delete it? That was the last question about freedom and stuff. Now about Pjuu :) I've read your blog posts. How is development going? And I am curious, how many people are on the website?

  Hi @vsevolod, welcome to Pjuu. I can assert that me or @ant would not delete your post. We are based in the UK and unfortunatley and would be forced to abide by any laws. If your gouverment would react to criticism that way, I doubt they would have any sway in the UK gouvernment.

  Can't speak for @Joe or @Ant, but I doubt they have jurisdiction over Pjuu. Also it's not like Pjuu is a global behemoth. And I've never seen it happen.

  Shalimar, I like that line about Snowden and two ways. Haven't seen someone half-paranoid half-ignorant

  Johnnynull, you are right about name and email, I didn't notice at first. AFAIK, usually social networks ask phone number. That makes difference. But I was interested in another thing: what if I posted something criticizing my country's government? And the government told Pjuu's administration to delete it. Would it be fulfilled? Even using Tor and all the stuff to hide identity, would Pjuu delete the information?

  I am worried about global surveillance.

  Fear mongering. And doesn't answer the question.

  After the Snowden filles you become either ignorant or paranoid. I try not to show too much that I am paranoid but it is getting harder every day in this society.

  Sadly I must say Shalimar is correct.
  But actually think about it for a moment. You need a username and an email address for the initial setup. Your username is likely not your actual name. Your email address can be a throw away. You can access Pjuu through Tor.
  That's significantly different than most social networks. What exactly are you worried about?

  The problem is justice can force you.

  Just a guy crazy about freedom :) Have been searching for a free and open source social network for a while. I like this one, but not sure about one thing in Terms of Use: "Satisfy applicable legal process, regulation, and/or governmental request". In my opinion, this is not a good thing. It makes Pjuu not really different from other social networks, even with free and open source code
