You know there are alternatives. You just were promoting vpns a couple of days ago on tor-talk (and I'm glad you were)
Nested VPN chains are also vulnerable to global adversaries. It may be that all low-latency anonymity systems that can scale to many users are vulnerable to global adversaries.
... which are based on current traditional centralised physical network. Yes. Which is why, to get out from the GPAs, we must build a home to home, neighbour to neighbour, suburb to suburb, global physical network.
YOU ARE MISAPPLYING THE ARGUMENT and I already explained why, twice. Or perhaps ten times. Tor is backdoored by design. GPAs have access to the backdoor.
That's not really a backdoor. You argue that Tor is vulnerable to global adversaries, and was designed that way. But it's not just Tor. It seems that all low-latency anonymity systems that scale to numerous users are vulnerable to global adversaries.
ditto - need a new phy layer If you don't own it, you don't control it. It you don't control it, it WILL be used against you.
The 'backdoor' in tor is simply the fact that the US military has sabotaged the internet.
Actually, they pretty much invented it ;)
Oh yes. We lived in the stone age before the US miliary invented duct tape.
Pretty much ;) At least, initial development of computers was mainly driven by military.
ATI, bought by AMD, was originally registered as Alien Technologies Incorporated. They eventually officially changed their name to just ATI.
