…what I'm saying is: Tor could be much more than just a proxy tool, it could be a public campaign—with all the “dirty work” your generic public campaign has. (Well, it's not /that/ dirty, actually; it's funny once you get involved.) Activism, PR, fundraising, education, etc. The only reason this isn't done yet, I suppose, is that people who enjoy programming web servers probably do not usually enjoy running campaigns like the one I describe. Well, it could be a good idea then to find human rights activists, all around the world, who know how to do it, and collaborate. Support those harrassed for providing Tor access, make it a matter of public debate, find sponsors, make journalists write about it, engage volunteers. I feel a bit stupid saying this. Why don't people work on it already? Maybe they do, and I'm just showing my ignorance now?
I run exit from home publicly and encourage others to do the same. I'm convinced this is the only way Tor can survive in the long run: together we stand, divided we fall. If someone reads this with “my thoughts exactly” in their heads, please email me, we'll cook something up soon. Or make a special topic in *tor-talk*.
