#2Is this a re-launch of Younited?
Just looked at its website and I can swear I saw it before, not long ago.

#3It's difficult to know what they're offering with so few details.
The article writes that "F Secure will not stop a proper investigation from the authorities. But it has done its level best to make sure your content cannot be combed and picked up by intelligence agencies or advertisers, without your knowledge or through illegal means, and promises that everything from the thumbnail to the content itself and the metadata is all encrypted."
I'm not entirely sure how to reconcile these two statements. Perhaps everything is encrypted, but they have access to your key (Similar to Lavabit) ?
Alternatively, they might only be referring to delivering metadata to 'authorities'.
I'm not sure where their niche is - People who sorta-kinda want things private, but not enough to use a serverless solution such as http://www.filetransporter.com/ ?

Im thinking it might appeal to the average (non-technical) European who is upset about the Snowden revelations

#6Younited collates your existing cloud accounts, making pictures, video, or whatever else you want to store and share available in one spot, including sharing options with popular services like Facebook FB +0.57%and Skydrive.
This is the opposite of "encrypted and impossible for authorities to access unless they get your key, which we don't have." Which is to say, the opposite of private. How does this service offer privacy?

#7It seems to me that the best way to launch a product for the "dark web" would be to just release the code.

#8Younited and Jottacloud? Come on my Scandinavian neighbors, those names are horrible.

#9So this is the issue with the term "dark" and the internet, it just makes it sound seedy and people are up to no good, using tools for illegal for very underground purposes. No where in the article itself does it mention "dark web" apart from the title.
The Dark Mail Alliance watch out.

If you don't encrypt they will read everything all the time. If you encrypt with this service, maybe they will need to file some paperwork before they start looking.
