MIT wants pre-release review of Secret Service file on Aaron Swartz
Kevin Poulsen, at Wired's Threat Level blog:
MIT argues that those people might face threats and harassment if their names become public. But itβs worth noting that names of third parties are already redacted from documents produced under FOIA.
MIT has screwed up repeatedly throughout this ordeal, and this is not a sign of improvement. If anything, their interference itself might prompt anonymous hackers to launch new salvos against their networks or dox their personnel.
