[liberationtech] Has LinkedIn launched a borderline Denial of Service attack against Tor?
Hello all, For some time now I've been concerned about the inability of many Tor users to access LinkedIn - and more importantly, the fact that attempting to use LinkedIn results in a fatal freeze. It seems to me that something isn't right here, so I've written a short piece on it. I'd be grateful for any thoughts you have. http://www.privacysurgeon.org/blog/incision/has-linkedin-launched-a-borderline-denial-of-service-attack-against-tor/ Best wishes Simon _ Simon Davies Associate Director LSE Enterprise The London School of Economics Founder, Privacy International privacysurgeon.org s.g.dav...@lse.ac.uk Please access the attached hyperlink for an important electronic communications disclaimer: http://lse.ac.uk/emailDisclaimer -- Liberationtech is public archives are searchable on Google.

[liberationtech] Gambian journalist in jail
The author of: http://standard.gm/site/news/4063-Police-admit-problems-with-human-trafficking.html Was arrested yesterday. Is currently out on bail. He risks jail time, at least six months, and at least US$105 000 fine. This is under Gambia's recent information laws making it criminal to insult the government. It appears that his quoting the police spokesman is one of the things the government objects to. Any help that could be provided would be welcome. The Gambian government is particularly bad with respect to press freedom. -- Liberationtech is public archives are searchable on Google.
