Interviews: Ask Executive Director Andrew Lewman About Tor and Privacy

Posted by samzenpus on from the go-ahead-and-ask dept.

samzenpus writes Andrew Lewman wears many hats: biologist, advocate against domestic violence, programmer, Executive Director of the Tor project and a member of the board of directors. He works to preserve the right to speak and read freely online by fighting laws and technology that threaten anonymity. Just how hard that has become is much clearer now that the NSA's interest in Tor has become public. Andrew has agreed to give us some of his time and answer any questions you might have. As usual, ask as many as you'd like, but please, one per post.

    News stories I've read lately seem to indicate that the Tor exit nodes have been and still are being compromised by organizations and some oppressive governments. What are you doing about this?
