I don't know how I feel about Facebook funding gnupg. I feel like they will expect to have a say in what Goes on, which could end badly

somebody found out this guy was almost broke and set up a Kickstarter for him, which these rabid capitalist companies jumped in on when they saw the amount of people getting involved and with a tiny donation, simply for the publicity, which people tweeting shit and the OP just gave them!

well done I guess ~
