The Covid-19 data researcher had her home raided and all computers and phones removed based on IP address evidence. This shows that the WSWS dependence on Disqus.com, which does not allow the hiding of IP addresses through Duckduckgo, Tor, Opera or VPNs leads to a high security risk. Police pointed guns at Jones and her children. The WSWS should switch from Disqus to a VPN-friendly message service or demand the Disqus change its policy of blocking accounts that hide their IP addresses. The point of party professionalism is to prevent such situations as experienced by Rebekah Jones, not encourage them through malicious negligence.

    1. If we can get a few more, maybe we can write them a letter demanding that they drop disqus.com. It is full of bugs as well. I wonder if Tor or Duckduckgo or Opera have VPN-safe message board services.
