Every other week I make donations. First to Tails, for being a user, I feel compelled to contribute. Then to Tor, again as a user I feel compelled to contribute. Lastly i donate to a project that Seems interesting. This week it was slur.io a project that apparently allows bidders to bid on secret information. That would have made Snowden a millionaire, not that it would have mattered to him, but a project like this would definitely allow more transparency.
Any thoughts on the project. Never seen anything like it.
Information in the public interest shouldn't be sold to the highest bidder imo. I don't know if it'd allow for more transparency with exception it may motivate people to give info out but depending who the bidder is, it may never make it out.
Any government can bid on it and keep it secret in other words. I guess you'd still have the original person with knowledge of it but if there motivation is the dollar they may not release at all.
Not saying that there isn't something there. I'm mainly playing devils advocate to the more transparency concept. It could actually keep information more closed perhaps.
