<br>
</div>Tor, and more in general, the Internet as an authentic medium of knowledge<br>
and communication, are certainly seen as an inconvenience by those who think<br>
they can impose a new world order ... spare me to detail you why anonymity<br>
is regarded as an annoyance in an authoritarian world. (In this sense goes<br>
also the straw man strategy ... and kiss of death tentative of the <a href="http://cnet.com" target="_blank">cnet.com</a><br>
article from the preceding posts: a simulated apprehension on something that<br>
has been quickly surrendered already, or would be so--on fabricated arguments<br>
by surplus!)<br>
<br>
With recurrence we see attacks more or less feigned or resolute [be it even as<br>
a--last resource--too problematic/dangerous service to deploy] against Tor.<br>
<br>
One time it's: Tor as a heaven of the pedophiles; another time is: as a<br>
present for the terrorists; and so on.<br>
<br>
Like in the example of the Gestapo I have made time ago, here on the list, the<br>
*legislators* of the new world order are trying to probe the terrain, to see<br>
how people react and respond, how they resist disinformation, and are seeking<br>
for the first chance to outlaw Tor. (Every time we analyze those pretexts and<br>
charges--and you may be sure that they are monitoring us on that--we see that<br>
their *arguments* do not hold logically.)<br>
<br>
Better to let them know. Away--but beware that they have means--with the<br>
thesis of the pornography branch in need of Tor [probably the opposite is even<br>
true: m sectors of this *industry* expect and demand to harvest the lack of<br>
anonymity of their customers]. Hence I disagree with your statement.<br>
