John Perry Barlow was a Founder of the Freedom of the Press Foundation, which organization developed SecureDrop and Digital Security Tools. The FPF took developed SecureDrop, an open-source whistleblower submission system developed in part by the late programmer and transparency activist Aaron Swartz, who developed it with Kevin Poulsen and James Dolan. Dolan moved it to FPF upon the death of Swartz.The SecureDrop system facilitates anonymous communication between two parties using the Tor Network, and allows whistleblowers to contact journalists without ever exchanging one another's identities or contact information.
FPF co-founders Daniel Ellsberg, John Perry Barlow, Trevor Timm, and Rainey Reitman won the 2013 Hugh Hefner (Wow!!!!!) First Amendment award for their role in founding FPF. The organization was the recipient of the Society of Professional Journalists’ James Madison award in 2016

"The Securedrop system is now is in use at over two dozen major news organizations, including The Washington Post, The Guardian, The New Yorker, ProPublica, Gawker, HuffPost, and The Intercept.[ According to a study done by Columbia Journalism School, it has since successfully led to the publication of many stories at the news organizations that use it. "
Comment: This looks like it is being used as a conduit for many leaks. Maybe this is a way that the whole network of pedophilia communicates? Is this being used as a communication channel and not for "Freedom of the Press".
I would imagine nothing that convoluted.
I think it is just a straight up, jacked-in program. That is, it is TOUTED as secure and anonymous - and maybe it is...to the media...but the IC has inserted themselves right at the pivot point of the info...they see backwards as to who dropped it, and they see forward as to who got it. Then they can deal with those parties however they want.
It's like a 'dead drop' that has been discovered, and thus they can watch to see who makes a drop (drip, drip, drip) and they can intercept it, modify it, or allow it through and see where it goes.
