Maybe use this kind of exercise to introduce them into the subject, then lay about the shortcomings and introduce them to Tor after they'd had this exercise. Also go into a little detail as to why services like Tor are needed, to make sure they don't miss the point. > best and thanks, Joe Regards, Julian > > -- Joseph Lorenzo Hall Postdoctoral Research Fellow Media, Culture > and Communication New York University https://josephhall.org/ Julian Wissmann - -- www.torservers.net -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJPVUYPAAoJELDOSV7JlBfZtNsH/jUvmarXSAEPKPLj+LEsCgIC SQRSVlUre7hEobuU517KWuKRbckAOWr1jlGwCofw5s/j6yAkTmxadWbWmf+qj+5h LHS8HhoOxgTqgmdKngIV1T/MfQt/er2FlL9tQWLNMfPxlPf8rxov1gWddiW920ST 8eXHa0MCLwkj+ieNVP9HCM2TazF8kOzNb9R6Ysc6/hX68/1Izd50o4THB3n7lKJ2 YeOS4ujqYBNHJ77P00Mu84Q4Okzsoyxc0frqdUx0379muXTzhLlrmebvgV8S866X D/bCPgaP/Iq6nS4Bw7DTneU8X+86sEQBYmNyEZqNpdR2XeCXKcIilR5B02CrMuc= =EzF7 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ tor-talk mailing list [email protected] https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
