Well, I wouldn't go that far ;)
If Tor were actually secure, I could accept that US government uses it for evil.
So Mirimir, what's the problem here? Am I failing to explain fuckingly basic facts or are you playing dumb? Tor IS actually secure IF YOU ARE THE FUCKING US MILITARY. If on the other hand you are one of their TARGETS then tor IS NOT SECURE. Is something unclear?
It's the same argument that we make about encryption generally.
No it is not. You are *misaplying* the argument.
Systems with backdoors can't be secure. And you can't keep anyone from using anonymity systems without backdoors.
Yes you can if access to the backdoor requires capabilities that your enemies don't have.
As I understand Juan's position, that wouldn't work for him.
What wouldn't work?
