<p>> Google’s hash match may well have established probable cause for a warrant to allow police to conduct a visual examination of the Maher file.<p>Very reasonable. Google can flag accounts as CP, but then a judge still needs to issue a warrant for the police to actually go and look at the file. Good job court. Extra points for reasoning about hash values.</p>

<p>The incident impact (nodepool upgrade issue) seems to be matching the speed of mitigation rollout. One does not want the cure to be worse than the disease; roll forwards should be slow unless the impact is high (and even then, it should be a rollback/freeze rather than fast roll forward).</p>

<p>Google docs is:
1. Free.
2. Does not require any infrastructure investment.
3. Has built-in access management system.
4. Easy to collaborate in.
5. Hosted on a 3rd party that is highly unlikely to intervene.<p>> put that Web page at a Google Docs URL (which, again, you don't control)<p>What is the alternative? Bring up an AS, hook it up to a couple of dark fibers, and host it off your battery and solar panel? Because you do not control your ISP, hosting provider or power provider either. You barely control the hardware you bought.<p>You independence depends on benevolence of other players, and Google is most likely to remain benevolent in this case.</p>
