  1. The "thought police" are already alive & well in the UK, & have been for some time now. A few years ago there was a case of a man in the UK who received a visit at his home by a couple of police officers, one of whom said they were there to "make sure that his thinking was correct". The visit was prompted by a comment/post the man had made in an on-line chat, where he had quoted something another chat member had previously said - so the content the police were upset about, was not even originally his. The UK is in a really dreadful state at the moment, sadly.

  2. I came across that mobile phone on-line some months ago - when an acquaintance drew my attention to it. I took a look at it myself & saw that it is much more expensive than the BraX2 phone, & there are also some on-going costs associated with its use, in addition to any carrier costs. I would be very interested to see how many people have actually purchased that phone. At an up-front purchase cost of close to $1,000, plus some on-going costs, I would not purchase such a phone - particularly as some of its software is proprietary & not open-source. But I'll admit that, on the surface, it may impress some people, who may be inclined to purchase it. It would indeed be interesting to know what Rob Braxman thinks of it - even though some people may claim he might be biased, as he offers a similar product/phone himself - the aim of which is privacy.
