Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>"John L. Young, who died March 28 at age 89 in New York City, was among the first people to see the need for an online library of official secrets, a place where the public could find out things that governments and corporations didn’t want them to know. He made real the idea – revolutionary in its time – that the internet could make more information available to more people than ever before.</p><p>John and architect Deborah Natsios, his wife, in 1996 founded Cryptome, an online library which collects and publishes data about freedom of expression, privacy, cryptography, dual-use technologies, national security, intelligence, and government secrecy. Its slogan: “The greatest threat to democracy is official secrecy which favors a few over the many.” And its invitation: “We welcome documents for publication that are prohibited by governments worldwide.”"</p><p><a href="https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/05/memoriam-john-l-young-cryptome-co-founder" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">eff.org/deeplinks/2025/05/memo</span><span class="invisible">riam-john-l-young-cryptome-co-founder</span></a></p><p><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Cryptome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Cryptome</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/CivilLiberties" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CivilLiberties</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/OpenGovernment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OpenGovernment</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Surveillance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Surveillance</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Privacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Privacy</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/NationalSecurity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NationalSecurity</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/FreedomOfExpression" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FreedomOfExpression</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Cryptography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Cryptography</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/GovernmentSecrecy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GovernmentSecrecy</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Intelligence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Intelligence</span></a></p>
