The Village Voice this week profiles a blogger who claims to be a member of the Hasidic community. He chooses to publish anonymously as he fears retaliation for his often critical comments.
The article then goes on to inform of an application named Invisiblog. The article mentions it won’t be available until August but I visited the site and it appears to be accepting new ‘customers’.
What it offers is enhanced security. The administrators claim you can set-up a site and even they won’t know who you are as they employ “the Mixmaster anonymous remailer network, which uses encryption and ‘mixnet’ techniques to hide the source of an emailassign.”
They don’t claim to be censor-proof;
If we receive a court order, DMCA notice etc, we’ll comply with our legal obligations. Likewise if we receive a demand from our hosting provider or if there is some kind of denial-of-service attack on our server.
And there are posting problems as well;
Mixmaster is sometimes slow and not always reliable. It’s normal for messages to take a few hours to arrive, sometimes as long as a day. Sometimes they never arrive at all. That’s not our fault, and there’s nothing we can do to fix it.
