schestowitz"A suggestion might be made that these organizations are large enough that parts of them might be working at cross-purposes with each other. I don't know that that's the case here. But Tor is open source; it's code is available for audit--and for me, with any kind of security software, that's the only way I'll trust it."Jul 23 09:56
schestowitz"Yes, the code is open, the software itself can be trusted, but there are other ways to determine content of traffic (exit node collusion) as well as other ways to identify anonymous individuals (browser sessions eg panopticlick, linguistics analysis). The point of the 4chan rumors and others who are critical of Tor as a source of anonymity is that the US intelligence complex has enough resources to de-anonymize individuals who employ Jul 23 09:56
schestowitzthe Tor network through many means irrespective of the source code of Tor itself."Jul 23 09:56
schestowitz"Jul 23 09:56
schestowitzI can see the argument that three-letter agencies have sufficient resources to de-anonymize individuals using Tor. Fair enough.Jul 23 09:56
schestowitzHow does that rationalize blocking Tor users from using 4chan?Jul 23 09:56
schestowitz"Jul 23 09:57
schestowitz"Many Tor users that used 4chan abused their double anonymity to spam the boards, and since Tor cannot be used to identify individual users by IP, 4ch had to block all Tor users as a caution. A real shame, I tell you."Jul 23 09:57
schestowitz"Jul 23 09:57
schestowitzSo that's a separate issue then.Jul 23 09:57
