said by quatrix:Can we stop pretending that these things weren't done mainly for illicit reasons? How can it be illicit when the laws themselves are corrupt? Our society makes laws when solutions are to hard or monetarily unsound. The blindfold you are asking to remove is much to large for a small group of men to remove. |

I use Tor sometimes when I want complete privacy.
The only reason they want to get rid of it is so they can monitor and control everyone. Hell, my router runs Tor, but only when I want it to.
If you want your connection to be "improbable" secure (ssh into servers/workstations), use Tor. Talk about a PITA to trace and reconstruct unless you're DAMN good.
EDIT: Changed "impossible" to "improbable".. Nothing's impossible. |

Tor allows people under repressive governments to post information and evidence critical to their governments. People in China, Saudi Arabia, Oman or North Korea can use Tor to conceal their posting addy so they aren't tortured to death inside their country's respective prisons.

I'd setup them up to be TOR relays and sniff packets, filtered for keywords.
You could trade info with other repressive governments doing the same. I wonder if Homeland Security would trade dissident session IP's for k-porn surfer session IP's?
