Community Choice Award "Most Likely to be Shut Down By Govt"

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the make-your-sarcastic-vote-heard dept.

Last week we took nominations for a Slashdot category at the SourceForge Community Choice awards. Our category was 'Most Likely to be Shut Down By Government Agency'. Your nominations were tallied, and we arbitrarily selected a few that we think are the best. Today is the day where you can at long last determine the winner, using the incredibly scientifically accurate Slashdot Poll. Our nominees are Truecrypt, EFF Patent Busting, GNU Software Radio, WikiLeaks, Cryptome.org, Tor, Freenet, and CowboyNeal.

      Damn, I clicked before I saw all the nominations. I'd have voted hot grits too had I seen it.

      Wait, I still don't see it? Cowboy Neal must have eaten 'em. Somebody put a lasso 'round that boy and tie him to a chair before he eats TOR and wikileaks!

    with tor and freenet then you can rest assured that a large portion of the traffic is illegal. I set up tor once and about half of all the material in the tor network that i saw was links and references to child porn. Not something I want to be associated with. I can only assume that most of the time when people want "transmission without censorship and complete annomnity" then it is something illegal or immoral. There isnt much need for complete annomnity to send a video of your kids soccer game to grandma.

    I know there are some legit uses for stuff like Tor, (in fact I plan on trying it again to get past my schools port blocks on IMs) but I dont think that is the main usage.
