Interesting reading - the Parliamentary Office of Science and Technology (POST) has published it's report on Tor and the (in)feasibility of blocking anonymous access for users within the UK.
The document's a PDF, and the layout is questionable, but it's worth a read if you have 5 minutes. http://www.parliament.uk/briefing-papers/POST-PN-488/the-darknet-and-online-anonymity http://www.parliament.uk/briefing-papers/POST-PN-488.pdf There are some interesting insights in there, from the perspective of what LEA's see. The overall summary though is - blocking anonymous access wholesale is not an acceptable policy option in the UK, and would impact on non-criminal Tor users. There _might_ be more appetite for legislating against Hidden Services, but enforcing it would be technologically infeasible. -- Ben Tasker https://www.bentasker.co.uk -- tor-talk mailing list - [email protected] To unsubscribe or change other settings go to https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
