We now have presidential candidates publicly and explicitly naming and quoting Wikileaks [1] in a relatively positive light (even if not yet similarly referencing and understanding Tor [though their staffers might]). Example... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7YaQwKXpwQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5KEAJ5qxFJw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5GQTv1DaQqI Though this ventures into mechanics of politics, I think it's deeply relavent to some of the many reasons anonymous overlay networks and crypto exist (not limited to Tor), why people contribute to them, why they need to succeed. [1] There are probably better videos of presidential candidates referencing wikileaks far more in depth and at length than these (hopefully including mentions to nets and crypto), they just popped as examples in one of many feeds such as... https://www.reddit.com/r/wikileaks+conspiracy ...so if you see any examples of them (even congress candidates) referencing or discussing any type of communications network like Tor, Signal, Tox etc, or crypto, whether by name or by context, in any light... please post it. (No, the iPhone crypto FBI thing doesn't count.) For example, as opposed to the US, a number of Euro office seekers already talk about nets and crypto long ago.
