Unambiguous and comprehensive response from Jacob Appelbaum himself to all this dirty slander toward him! If this kind of response "does not enough" for you, people, - just go fuck yourself.

To the people who "know" that TOR is a complete sham designed to compromise unwary users, Appelbaum ranks with Hitler, Stalin and Attila the Hun. To those who "know" that TOR is the bestest weapon in the whole Freedom Fighter arsenal, he is the noblest of heroes. Both views are dead wrong. Whether TOR is harmful or helpful depends entirely on how well its users understand both what it does, and what their potential adversaries can do about it.
Apparently there are a number of easy-to-describe improvements which could be made to the TOR protocol, such as increasing the number of hops, generating fake extra traffic, etc, which would improve it greatly. TOR is a net positive, but that should not be at the expense of continuing improvements. Jim Bell
