Please help if User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; rv:17.0) Gecko/17.0 Thunderbird/17.0 In countries where the law does not dictate that all carriers maintain extensive logs, this is fairly simple. Whether you are a Tor node or a normal ISP, you do nothig until you get a court ordered warrant, at which point you collect information passing through your network and hand it over to authorities. So the "Tor" service remain anonymous until the police suspect illegal data passing through it, at which point they snoop what passes through and work they way up to find the true origin of the data. In countries where log files must be created and retained by law, this is less simple. Is a Tor node covered by the law ? If so, then it is non compliant of it fails to colect the law mandated logs. If the Tor node is not covered by the law, then law enforcment cannot complain if there are no logs to analyse. ----- End forwarded message ----- -- Eugen* Leitl <a href="http://leitl.org";>leitl</a> http://leitl.org ______________________________________________________________ ICBM: 48.07100, 11.36820 http://www.ativel.com http://postbiota.org 8B29F6BE: 099D 78BA 2FD3 B014 B08A 7779 75B0 2443 8B29 F6BE _______________________________________________ tor-talk mailing list [email protected] https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
