Activists Call For General Strike On the Tor Network (vice.com)

Reader derekmead writes: Some Tor users are very unhappy with the way the project has been run in recent months, and are calling for a blackout on September 1st. They are asking users to not use Tor, for developers to stop working on Tor, and for those who run parts of the network's infrastructure to shut it down. The disgruntled users feel that Tor can no longer be fully trusted after a brief hiring of an ex-CIA official and the internal sexual misconduct investigation against activist Jacob Appelbaum.

    I'll be using Tor the same amount as always on that ludicrous MRA Protest Day. I might even use it a little more, just because.

    Maybe l'll use Tor to come to Slashdot and read the next dupe...

    Shit. I had so many great ideas to improve the site, like a Google Translate module that automatically converts TFS into a car analogy.

    Cease and desist. I've already written that module. As proof, I just ran your last comment through it, and here's the result:

    Fix engine light. I had so many great camshafts to improve the wheelbase, like an OnStar transmission that stickshiftally coverts the Owner's Manual into a [ERR: Stack overflow].

    See?
