The Paranoid's Bible: An anti-dox effort.

To address your concerns in order of severity:

One: In the absence of updates and activity, detractors and shills have come out of the woodwork to try and imply that our information is somehow outdated, false or dangerous (without providing evidence to back up these claims) while advertising either their own services or those belonging to entities that are connected to certain groups and/or individuals known for selling stolen or common knowledge solutions. This is simply due to the fact that while privacy and security communities are growing, there are those who wish to exploit the fears and ignorance of people for profit by marketing and infiltrating said communities from the inside out.

Two: We’ve no connections to any corporations or have any (real) sponsors. Outside of our “sponsor page,” which is just us using SEO to our advantage and linking back to articles or those that’ve contributed, we’re working on our own time, out of our own pockets, and through research of our own or that contributed by viewers/readers/followers. That’s it, thus far, outside of several interested parties offering to help fund us indirectly VIA websites or apparel. While this is interesting to us, and could benefit us, we won’t accept any help until we can come up with a decent solution that’ll not only protect our potential benefactors but also us and our contributors.

Three: Yes, we are aware of several dozen groups, blogs, videos and activists who’ve directly and indirectly referenced us or our works. It’s in our FAQs page that people can use this information freely, even if they don’t credit us, ergo a non-issue as of now. We thank you, however, for notifying us and alerting us to these incidents as it allows us to further track the progress and awareness that’s coming from the PB.

Four: The reason for lack of updates and activity is due to the shortness of manpower. We’re losing volunteers and members in general. This isn’t due to a lack of interest or drive but a lack of time. We’re comprised of students, families and workers. A lot of our team can’t take time to work on pushing our guides as they have their own lives and schedules to contend with, and because we believe people shouldn’t try to live off privacy and security alone. This information should be free, always, ergo we won’t be making this our main source of income or time use unless one of us profits majorly from another project, come into wealth, or win the lottery. If, by some miracle, one of us comes into money then yes, there’ll be a permanent pace to the blog.

Five: Due to the toxicity and selfishness of the Tumblr community, and because of the odd updates on Tumblr, a lot of the add-ons and scripts used are no longer updated which makes the pic-spam and general queue content a lot harder to work with and push out. That content is by far the least of our concerns but we’ll work on pushing it through once again when someone has time.

Six: We’re not associated with any adult content based communities, websites, forums or chats. The many that exist linking to us do so out of their own freewill, and not because of anything we’ve said or done outside of creating privacy and security based content.

Seven: Like six, we’re not associated with any political groups, religious groups or similar groups. These groups can’t be stopped from using our content, and if you look at our FAQs page you’ll notice we’ve stated this information is free for all.

But where’s the damn drop? We were promised a drop. The Internet said there would be a drop. How can we properly be angry at the world’s governments when there are no drops? We want the dirty laundry already, Wikileaks.

Many of you have figured out by now that some of our team members are within certain industries (or have made educated guesses), mostly due to some of the content that we’ve posted. Well recently some of these members have gone professional and as such have less time to dedicate to our little project. This doesn’t mean they’ll abandon the mission though, just that it’ll be a bit of a pause between releases but this issue is a double edged sword as it has introduced some new information to us concerning the future of privacy and security for the average individual.
