The feds pay for 60 percent of Tor’s development. Can users trust it?
The Internet was made by DARPA. Let's stop using it.I am really sick of these arguments. Do you realize how much research goes into Tor and how many university researchers are associated with it (Cambridge, Waterloo)? Furthermore, can you really think someone like the Tor core developers (Dingledine and Mathweson) can sacrifice their entire reputation just for putting a backdoor? The code is out there. They have a Git repository and they have an active, healthy developer community. It's not like TrueCrypt, where change logs read like, "Minor fixes" and there is no public repository in 2013.Someone should bring proof of the alleged backdoors or just shut up. Because conspiracy theories are not only stupid, they are annoying. This issue has been addressed on the tor-talk list many times. Please show one iota of proof.And I say this as a Tor user who has not only donated to the project but also runs a relay.
