I know you think you’re signal boosting protection for internet activists, but these are the tools bad people use to do bad things. You’ve shown hackers and harassers and freelance assholes everywhere how to get away with their tomfoolery.

So, thanks, I guess?

Yes, except they need to know how to use these anyway, and if they have the know how, then they already have these tools. This really wont help anyone who doesn’t know, because they wont be able to figure any of this out and wont have the insight or the agency to learn how.
