RE: Riseup.net needs your help!
Thank you for finding that!!!
When I was writing the post I had seen that exact message up somewhere but couldn't locate it when it came time to snip it into my post.

No problem, you go ahead and include it in the post if you like. This isn't a very flashy article so far, so I'd probably consider fattening up some of the text and including a picture of Snowden as well.
Thanks for the advice. I'd hesitate to use snowden's image here. Because I don't see anywhere they've ever claimed he was a user. In fact we know he was using lavabit and lavabit shut down their services rather than turnover his info.
What they are saying is that since the Snowden revelations their user base has gone through the roof, but their finances have not been able to keep pace and they can't pay their bills because of it.
I will however take your advice and add that snip to the article. Wish I could find some better graphics etc. But the whole point of this movement is that it is low key by design. They don't spend money on fancy things like art, just important stuff like software and infrastructure.
Ok made some quick updates. I'm traveling though and can't make major changes until this evening, so I really hope this is enough.
I like the changes you made. You used good judgement on the Snowden issue as well.
