Now, I'd like to hear your thoughts about these 2 situations. What do you intend to do to avoid / solve such issues?

It's not LoyceV's responsibility to solve it. If you post something you shouldn't have - it's your problem. The government doesn't need LoyceV's site, they can just grab the info directly from Bitcointalk, Google cache, archive sites, or NSA hard drives.

Not all posts are archived.

Google caches have an expiry date.

And there is, as far as I know, no way to grab info from Bitcointalk if the info is never quoted by someone else and deleted / edited out. And with Theymos' response rate I don't think any gov agency would have much luck getting him to dish out user data. He's pro anonymity as far as I can tell.

Btw. you seem to think that by gov. I implied only US. Obviously that's not the case.

In countries like Bangladesh the gov does not have the diplomatic resources to use the same tools that NSA offers to the US or any US allies. They employ low-level white hat / grey hat servicemen to do their online digging work. It is the same with many developing and underdeveloped nations.

Besides, I am sure NSA data is accessed in case of national security - NOT detecting / tracking crypto users for political purposes.

Information, shared by anyone on this forum is kind of made with the confidence that they can perhaps edit out any unrequired information in the future - hence the existence of the edit button.

But Loyce's tool is circumventing that basic forum function that the average user takes for granted.

idk guys - this is a big area of grey for me. This is dwelling into the areas of retaining user data, and user privacy - It is a bit uncomfortable for me to endorse it - even though this is great work and can be used to keep the forum clean. But it has a huge potential of misuse and abuse as well.

Loyce - maybe you should think this through and make your stance clear.
