[http://www.20q.net/play.html] is a game to showing how easy metadata
analysis is. 

Now think about how easy it is for uncaring bureaucrats to use your
metadata to completely regulate lives of innocent people using an
infinite number[1] of vaguely written regulations.  In this game when
the computer guesses incorrectly the computer loses.  However, in the
real world when a bureaucrat guesses incorrectly you still lose in the
form of legal defense expenses.  In addition, a bureaucrat has many,
many tools to force you to accept his or her incorrect guess. 

The positive news is you no longer have to live your life in Metallica's
The Unforgiven[2] thanks to the awesome tools from Guardian Project and
especially TorProject!
