Tor Project Sued Over a Revenge Porn Business That Used Its Service
redletterdave writes: The Tor Project has been sued in the state of Texas over a revenge porn website that used its free encrypted communications service. The plaintiff in the case — Shelby Conklin, a criminal justice major at the University of North Texas — alleges a revenge porn site called Pinkmeth "gained unauthorized access to nude photographs" she owned and posted them to the internet. She also said Tor, which The Economist once called "a dark corner of the web," was involved in an active "civil conspiracy" with Pinkmeth because the revenge porn website used the anonymous communications service to prevent others from tracking its location.
Texas has "the Internets" these days? Did they wire up the trailer parks?
In breaking news, Microsoft will be sued by the state of New York for authoring and distributing the malicious software called Excel. Investors on Wall Street have used this nefarious software to destroy the world economy while raking in billions of dollars for themselves.
Quite literally anything can happen here.
In that case, my money's on Godzilla.
I can't wait for the confusion when the judge orders that Tor be executed.
SJW's don't eliminate discrimination. They just expropriate it for themselves.
There are almost no basements in Texas.
Except the one in the Alamo.
