""""" Tonga (Bridge Authority) Permanent Shutdown Notice 2016-07-16T01:06:25Z
Dear friends, Given recent events, it is no longer appropriate for me to materially contribute to the Tor Project either financially, as I have so generously throughout the years, nor by providing computing resources. This decision does not come lightly; I probably ran one of the first five nodes in the system and my involvement with Tor predates it being called "Tor" by many years. Nonetheless, I feel that I have no reasonable choice left within the bounds of ethics, but to announce the discontinuation of all Tor-related services hosted on every system under my control. I wonder what triggered this. The Appelbaum mess? Board change?
Probably some back story about one or both. Maybe it'll leak :)
"...within the bounds of ethics..." can mean a lot of different things. Maybe this person didn't like the way ioerror was SLANDERED. Maybe a rift in the Board about how much say the gubmint gets in the project and it just got replaced with a majority sold out to teh gubmint. I might add IF there was some new MAJOR problem within tor software itself ioerror or this guy would surely be blowing that whistle... Now that there's been a purge, that could change. People like schneier might be reasonable and ethical watchdogs but he CERTAINLY isn't someone who can spot the problems in the code. Rr
