Cryptome

This week I saw the Cryptome website shutdown by Verio/NNT. Fortunately, it is now being hosted elsewhere. Why were they shutdown? Censorship. There were no specific violations specified, simply a reference to Acceptable Use Policy. There was also no opportunity to correct any problems -- just a notice that their account was terminated. Fortunately, John Young found a new home for his repository of knowledge and discovery. I encourage you to visit it and spend a little time going through the materials therein. I think you will find it worthy of your time -- but not worthy of censorship.
