FBI Hunt For Child Porn Thwarted By Tor

v3rgEz writes "Documents released by the FBI provide an unusual inside look at how the agency is struggling to penetrate 'darknet' Onion sites routed through Tor, the online privacy tool funded in part by government grants to help global activists. In this case, agents were unable to pursue specific leads about an easily available child pornography site, while files withheld indicate that the FBI has ongoing investigations tied to the Silk Road marketplace, a popular, anonymous Tor site for buying and selling drugs and other illegal materials." Sounds similar to the problems that plagued freenet.

"He did something ridiculously stupid and will pay for it for the rest of his life as he is subject to "lifetime supervised release."

I know a guy from highschool that looked down to change a cassette in his car in 1986 and mowed down 3 children and 2 adults with his car. He still is in prison for negligent homicide because he freaked and drove off.

He was a nice and decent person.

And yes he deserves being in jail for 30 years, when you do something stupid in life there are concenquences. You pay the price for being an idiot in life.
