well anything else would be a potential moment for governments to find out who they are
Yes, the intention of this website is to create a completely custom system which will provide the community with all functionality needed to self-maintain, and organize itself in such a way as to effectively complete it's goals -- what ever those goals may be.
It's certainly a challenge I look forward to facing.
Here are the ideas we have so far:
We can have a .com domain, but only with instructions on how to access the .onion domain. The .onion domain will be where this community will exist.
No IP logging will exist. Not once in our code will the server request your IP address. This include even Awstats. We will disable it. Additionally, we will not collect emails what-so-ever.
As for host, we will find an anonymous solution. My first idea is that we have the community donate bit-coin to an account which will pay the hosting bill. In this way Anonymous will own itself, and pay it's own bills.
Since there will be no leaders, there will be no "officers". It will simply be a group of individuals who suggest and vote up cool ideas, and then participate in those ideas. We are a communication tool. I don't think a phone company would be sued because a murderer plotted his next crime on the phone with his partner. We can't dictate what people say. That's censorship.
I'm not sure if this will offer much, and perhaps a lawyer can consult on this, but I'm wondering if we could put something in the user agreement. We could make anyone who visits our site agree that they are not a government agency. At least, I think in court we could make the argument that the data they've obtained (assuming they infiltrate the site) is illegal obtained, and therefor not permissible.
Before I started programming, I used to play private server MMORPGs. Programmers would find a popular game they like, and create an emulator for it, and whenever you entered the website, it had a terms of use which supposedly stopped the company's they stole it from, from taking legal action against them.
Some have tired to create communities like these but they were not created with an inclusive democratic model, and they did not have a method to be self sustaining. Also, previous communities have been focused on particular Ops or crews. This is intended to serve anyone and everyone who wants to learn and get things done.
Ambitious, I know...but that's why I like it :)
