Group Wants To Shut Down Tor For a Day On September 1 (softpedia.com)
An anonymous reader writes: An internal group at the Tor Project is calling for a full 24-hour shutdown of the Tor network to protest the way the Tor Project dealt with the Jake Applebaum sexual misconduct accusations, and because of recent rumors it might be letting former government agents in its ranks. Two Tor members, also node operators, have shut down their servers as well, because of the same reason. They explained their motivations here and here.
"The protesters have made 16 demands," according to the article, six related to related to supposed infiltration of Tor by government agents, and 10 regarding the Appelbaum ruling and investigation -- including "asking all Tor employees that participated in this investigation to leave" and "the persons behind the JacobAppelbaum.net and the @JakeMustDie and @VictimsOfJake Twitter accounts to come forward and their identities made public."

How about you fuck off and die? I'm getting tired of clueless shitheads that don't know how the world works and sees conspiracies everywhere. You folk shut up quick in the Hans Reiser case when it became obvious that he did murder his wife (except for a few mentally retarded enough to still see a conspiracy against Linux supported by the Russian government and other shadowy groups).
You could read about this case and realize that there are no conspiracy to shut down the TOR project, just a "conspiracy" to remove a person with severe misconduct against others - something that is now well documented. Any reasonable private company would have fired him for much less evidence. For good reasons!
This isn't a jury. This isn't a court of law - we don't need to consider him innocent until a judge rules him guilty. We aren't the government - we can censor whatever we want. FUCKING LEARN HOW THE WORLD WORKS!
