Jeannette Catsoulis New York Times A forceful indictment of the United States government's surveillance and prosecution of computer hackers and journalists. Oct 16, 2014 Full Review Nick Schager Film Journal International A flashy portrait of rebel "hacktivists" and their anarchist accomplices that opts for superficial, unconvincing glorification over in-depth analysis. Oct 16, 2014 Full Review Diana Clarke Village Voice As one journalist tells Weisman, "Information is the weapon." It's worthwhile to understand how it's being used. Oct 14, 2014 Full Review Louis Proyect rec.arts.movies.reviews Despite an unfortunate MTV aesthetic, this documentary puts a spotlight on government harassment of young men and women with nothing else on their mind except defending freedom.

Harris "In the crypto world, this is great news I want to share. Last year, I fell victim to a scam disguised as a safe investment option. I have invested in crypto trading platforms for about 10yrs thinking I was ensuring myself a retirement income, only to find that all my assets were either frozen, I believed my assets were secure — until I discovered that my BTC funds had been frozen and withdrawals were impossible. It was a devastating moment when I realized I had been scammed, and I thought my Bitcoin was gone forever, Everything changed when a close friend recommended the Capital Crypto Recover Service. Their professionalism, expertise, and dedication enabled me to recover my lost Bitcoin funds back — more than 560.000 DEM to my BTC wallet. What once felt impossible became a reality thanks to their support. If you have lost Bitcoin through scams, hacking, failed withdrawals, or similar challenges, dont lose hope. I strongly recommend Capital Crypto Recover Service to anyone seeking a reliable and effective solution for recovering any wallet assets.

Dont let scammers get away with your hard-earned money – contact Email: Recoverycapital @ fastservice. com Phone CALL/Text Number: +1 (336) 390-6684 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/04/25 Full Review Vero Nika HIRE THE BEST CRYPTO RECOVERY EXPERT FOR YOU STOLEN CRYPTO: HIRE RAPID DIGITAL RECOVERY It all began with a crypto trading livestream that looked legitimate, supposedly hosted by a famous tech entrepreneur. The livestream was being shared widely on social media, complete with thousands of viewers and convincing comments scrolling nonstop. I tuned in just to get a gist of the conversation, and the message was clear: send Bitcoin to this wallet, and I would receive double in return as part of a generosity campaign. The graphics, the excitement, and the name attached made it seem believable. After an hour, I was in, wanting to seize the chance, and so I transferred four thousand dollars worth of Bitcoin to the given account, and that was it. Minutes turned into hours, then days, yet nothing came back. Going back to check the account, it had mysteriously vanished, and that's when it hit home. I had fallen for one of the oldest tricks in the book, and I just couldn't believe my eyes. WhatSapp: + 1 4 1 4 8 0 7 1 4 8 5 When I discovered RAPID DIGITAL RECOVERY, my instinct was hesitation. I thought, Ive already trusted once and lost. Why risk it again? Yet they never bragged or ignored any of my questions at any given point, and clarity convinced me to take a leap of faith. They never offered extravagant promises but explained, in clear language, how they might track and recover stolen funds, which is okay with me. Their honesty was refreshing in a world filled with deceit. Telegram: + 1 6 8 0 5 8 8 1 6 3 1 Over the next several weeks, their communication stream was on point, never faltering even once. They answered every concern patiently and updated me frequently on their progress. I felt supported rather than abandoned. Then came the news I hardly dared hope for, which is the recovery of a large portion of my stolen Bitcoin. I jumped, I sang, and danced to the tune of the good news. Email: rapid digital recovery (@) execs. com This experience really transformed how I approach Bitcoin. I no longer allow flashy live streams or social media giveaways to cloud my judgment. Ive learnt the hard way that Bitcoin scams thrive on speed, pressure, and appearances, and now I take my time doing due diligence with every opportunity that comes my way. Most importantly, I now know that even when the worst happens, hope isnt lost. RAPID DIGITAL RECOVERY are the best in the recovery business, and I always mention them as the team that stood by me when everything fell apart. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/16/25 Full Review Valentina When I first received a message from an old classmate, it felt like fate had stepped in to reconnect us after so many years. She was warm and friendly and seemed genuinely happy to catch up. After a few exchanges, she confided in me about a crisis. Everything looked real and convincing, I believed her. Her messages conveyed urgency and desperation. She said the hospital required payment in XRP to cover immediate expenses abroad and without hesitation I agreed to help. In total I sent 19500 dollars worth of XRP thinking I was helping to save someones life. But everything changed the moment the transfer was complete. She vanished blocking me on all platforms. My trust was manipulated so thoroughly. In my search for help I came across Muyern Trust Hacker. ( What - app +1 (440) (335) (02 - 05) I was skeptical at first. After all how could I trust anyone after what had happened But desperation pushed me to try. From the beginning their team was empathetic and professional. Within a few days they traced the XRP to a wallet already flagged in several online scams. Muyern Trust Hacker froze the suspicious wallet before the funds could be laundered further. In just under four weeks they achieved something I thought was impossible. I got my 19500 dollars back. The relief was indescribable. (Tele gr am: muyerntrusthackertech  ) Thanks to their expertise and persistence I not only recovered my money but also a small piece of the trust I had lost.
