News Flash! According to an informed source, the so-called "church" of Scientology is trying to force Larry Wollersheim to give them his de-encryption code for PGP. Larry Wollersheim is the director of FACTNet, a Colorado BBS that specializes in distributing information about religious cults - especially the Church of Scientology. Scientologists raided FACTNet recently and seized its hardware and records recently, in a case that has spread news of the Scientology wars all over the Internet. Scientology has been in possession of Larry Wollersheim's computer records for quite a while now - at least three weeks, I believe. They have been scanning it for what they claim to be "copyright violations." Yet, their list of scanning criteria also includes a list of 34 names of their critics and enemies, including a famous Netizen named "Rogue Agent." Yet it seems that despite all their efforts to get what they want, they can't break PGP - so they have to force Wollersheim to reveal the key. Mr. Wollersheim has stated that he will go to jail before he reveals his encryption key. Please forward this note to all interested parties. Call this one: BIG WIN FOR PGP!
