I wonder if anyone would be brave enough to test this, i.e. use TLS 1.2/forward security to one of sites mentioned, send a message to a "friend" (dumby account) that says you are planning an attack, and see what happens (i.e. it's only viewable by facebook/google whatever, not in transit)


Great idea! I nominate you.


Yeah, I don't really want to be a "person of interest" for the rest of my life. :-)


Too late, you've already posted to HN. :-)


I suggested that on a forum 10 years ago (though about unencrypted emails) to see if the spooks were really monitoring email, and no one seems to want to take up that offer.


Sounds like a wonderful idea.

Because law enforcement (like everyone really) LOVES having their time wasted.
