Jacob Applebaum made another remark about editing Wikipedia via tor this
morning. Since it's been a couple months since the last tor bashing
thread,
I wanted to throw out a slightly more modest proposal to see what people
think.
The easiest way to prevent a series of Tor bashing threads is to not make
Tor promoting threads. At least for English Wikipedia, there is no reason
now or in the conceivable future to permit, much less endorse or formalise,
editing via Tor.
I believe there is a strong reason for it.
Even if you use https for every connection to Wikipedia, traffic analysis
currently makes finding out what you're reading fairly easy. From a risk
perspective, if a user wants to edit Wikipedia on a subject and from a
location that could endanger themselves, I would much prefer they edit via
tor than rely on the WMF to protect their identity.
Wikipedia isn't worth endangering oneself over, and we shouldn't
encourage the delusion that any technical measure will change that.
