... As soon as I saw that, I had to Google it. It seems that comes from the new RPG, so it's not quite WoJ? Or was it confirmed elsewhere as well, maybe in an interview?

I /thought/ it was confirmed more directly in an interview or Q&A, but Im less sure than I was a moment ago :-\
Anubissama:
It was mentioned in the DF Accelerated, so it's not a WoJ as such, but supposedly he at least proofreads these things.
--- Quote ---The current Gatekeeper is Wizard Rashid; many others have come before him, such as Alighiero di Bellincione, whose tales of the Outer Gates purportedly inspired his son Dante’s La Divina Commedia.

Hmm, ok, I'll Accept it for my head-cannon at least. The standing description is that the RPG's are very close but considered like a parallel world or some such, but the divergences all had more to do with who knows what (in the RPG Billy knew /all/ the secrets, since he wrote it) or when they needed to hard-quantify power levels and things. That sort of pure historic World detail strikes me as the sort of thing they'd not add without Jim's approval.

If Martha Liberty lives with her great-grandchildren and their kids, could she be aware of modern tech far more than any other member of the SC? Think about it. Even if her blood don't have magical power like she does, they would be living pretty normal lives and be aware of things like the internet and twitter and facebook.
If her family is kind of like Murphy, vanilla (or in this case plain chocolate) but aware of the magical world, she could use her family to watch the internet for things and contact people she cannot directly speak with because her power would make the computer blow up.
And as seen in SG, if she has even a basic circle in the computer room, she could sit there and watch in a protective circle as her family member responds to e-mails and such. The circle would keep in her magic and keep the computer safe.
Having contact via the internet would help with a lot of her contacts.
