Anyone else feel it is depressing that people have to resort to these tactics due to political oppression?
I find it more depressing that corporations conspire with despots to destroy freedom.
By providing material support to the agenda of despots, they identify themselves as enemies of the people. They have taken sides. Let them reap the consequences.

Smashing storefronts isn't going to have any effect when Mubarak et al. have a history of using physical force against their political enemies (live Vodafone execs). Sorry protestors, but Suleiman scares me more than you do. http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/newsdesk/2011/01/who-i...

We don't feel like implementing a secure communication system, we want the government to enforce security for us.
Hey! it's not fair that you're using our insecure system in ways we don't want you to.

Mubarak is not Egypt's Prime Minister.
Thank you! It says president in the article, but I couldn't change the name on here (ycombinator)
I get a 500 error when clicking the link to the article.
