#2Sometime in the near future, I predict that the US will require some form of photo I.D before using an internet kiosk. As usual, the spin will be to protect the children.

USA is pretty low on the list of countries I could imagine implementing something like this. Given Russia's, China's, and a large portion of SEA countries' internet censorship track records...

Very refreshing to see a big, red warning in the screenshot about the fact that Javascript is enabled! Usually you see the same thing when Javascript is disabled, asking you to enable it.

No, for your convenience, you only need to identify yourself in the case that you exit the kiosk without using any sort of web service account that can be used to identify you ;)

I'd put the USA pretty high on that list. They've implemented plenty of their take-downs over the past year, and are more capable of introducing something like this than any SEA state.

Fortunately, they can't do that for all the open/WEP/WPS wireless APs everywhere.

#9If anyone from WaPo visits here, you've got some typos on that page:
"Download and install the Tor browser bundle from Download and install the Tor browser bundle from https://www.torproject.org/" should be "Download and install the Tor browser bundle from https://www.torproject.org/"
"You will be provided with a codename that you will use it to log in to check for replies from The Post." should not have the word "it".
Otherwise, great work! I'm really glad that you're doing this and featuring it prominently on your home page.

#10Wow, Tor is still a thing? We have confirmation that security agencies have taken over exit nodes and injected spyware before to track targets. I'm surprised anyone uses it. It's like the security lottery.
