This article was written in 1992, but it&#x27;s still extremely relevant today. In 1992 online communication was in the form of Usenet and BBSes (plus proprietary services like AOL), the web was still experimental, and Zuckerberg was only 8 years old, but the government was already snooping on what people were writing online. The article contains this quote from Risks Digest:<p>&quot;I just had an interesting visit from the FBI. It seems that a posting I made to sci.space several months ago had filtered through channels, caused the FBI to open (or re-open) a file on me, and an agent wanted to interview me, which I did voluntarily... I then went on to tell him about the controversy over Uunet, and their role in supplying archives of Usenet traffic on tape to the FBI...&quot;<p>UUNET was one of the biggest providers of Usenet feeds.[1]<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;UUNET" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;UUNET</a>
