Someone tell Apple that they can purchase a lot of privacy street cred if they hosted or funded a major TOR hosting initiative.

- redbeard0x0a 11y agoNo, Apple should definitely not be in a position of running TOR nodes. All it takes is one National Security Letter and a Secret Court ruling that makes it so they have to compromise that endpoint for law enforcement / anti-terrorism organizations. They need to keep doing what they have been doing with the recent FBI case and bringing these things out into the public's view. There is far too many things happening to subvert our privacy that we know nothing about...
- TenOhms 11y agoAre you suggesting that nobody (companies or individuals) in the US or five eyes countries should run TOR nodes since the government can slap them with a court order?
- Karunamon 11y agoFrom a personal safety standpoint, that is what I would suggest at least. Running a Tor exit means that you're the one who's going to get the knock on the door when a crook uses your connection for crookery. I'd rather not deal with the police at all, in any capacity.
