Comment (by cypherpunks):

 >If you can think of a plausible way to change the code to make it harder
 for fascists to use Tor without also making it easier for someone to
 silence the people the fascists want to harm

 I can definitely think of one way - by letting Tor relay operators choose
 for themselves whether they want to actively disseminate violent speech.
 Democracy is our only protection against fascism - why should Tor not be
 run more democratically, by letting relay operators decide what services
 they want to implicitly endorse by allowing their own relays to advertise
 for?

 It's ridiculous that we even have to have this discussion - I and many
 other people I know run Tor relays, why should we be forced to spread the
 hateful and violent message of Daily Stormer and their ilk? This feature
 should have implemented from day one.
