Basically it's streamlining the formal process of gaining access to someone's cloud share where a device recovery key will also exist - the same key the user has and Nov 06 12:31

schestowitz__Nothing ever gets deleted unless it is spam, in which case marking it as spam does the trick. Be careful not to delete any posts, comments, etc. as we have a perfect record of never censoring or even self-censoring (like removing an article) and it's important to keep it that way.Nov 06 20:16

schestowitz__The most basic problems are not in the code, but in the concept, and Tor is becoming progressively less safe over time rather than more, as new measures turn up to make Tor irrelevant.Nov 07 00:28
schestowitz__This "isn't perfect" evasion is really starting to get old when jackass after jackass still brays at length making claims for Tor stumping the NSA and everyone else, which it manifestly does not, and cannot possibly do. The NSA can totally pwn Tor every day, and no doubt does. There's nothing stopping it.Nov 07 00:28
schestowitz__Initially, Tor never claimed to be NSA-proof and made a point of saying that it was merely an experimental program not to be used for really dangerous applications where lives were at stake -- which is true.Nov 07 00:28
schestowitz__Now, the prevalent message is exactly the opposite, which is a total lie, and a very, very dangerous one.Nov 07 00:28
