Re: [Trisquel-users] Tor browsing in Trisquel 7 is a BAD idea

You're not seriously quoting the NSA? Of all the people in the world to say  
"we can't catch people who use TOR" the NSA has got to be top of the list of  
'Least Likely to be Telling the Truth'. The NSA helped to develop TOR!

TOR is a trap. It's already been shown that some of the routers are in  
Government buildings.
How many times do people have to be told? There is no such thing as anonymity  
online. When it suits "them" they can pull records of what you said, to whom,  
from years ago. This is endlessly hinted at but you have to read between the  
lines.
One of the biggest misunderstanding about the internet is that it was created  
by a bunch of wonderfully naive, well meaning scientists, intent on giving  
humanity the biggest material blessing it's ever seen. Step forward Mr Tim  
Berners-Lee - affable English backroom bod type - supposed to remind us all  
of Q from James Bond.
The internet was designed by the US Military, to survive multiple hits and  
still function. All the technology - chips, computers, etc, - all comes from  
US Military R&D. Laws exist that mandate that your ISP keeps records of all  
you do. So unless you're an IT Genius, using scrounged parts, assembled for  
one task and then disassembled, piggy backing on someone elses connection,  
they know who you are, where you are, what you do and what you say.
