> Isis is a contributor to Tor
Citation? A quick google search is split between "Isis uses Tor" and "Isis is waging war on Tor", with nothing specific to the above claim.
EDIT - never mind, didn't spot that the author's name is Isis. That makes more sense :)
- knowaveragejoe 11y agoThe author's name is Isis.
- cvwright 11y agoOh good grief. They're not really that dumb, are they? "Hey, we have some questions to ask you about this war you're apparently waging in the Middle East..."
- chc 11y agoIt was theptip in the comments above who confused the author and the terrorist organization, not the FBI.
- sflicht 11y agoBet you dollars to donuts that the author's name does, in fact, at least partially explain their interest. Remember that law enforcement was particularly interested in Aleynikov because he used subversion for VCS.
- petertodd 11y agoIsis is a relatively common name; among other things it's the name of an Egyptian god. Also, the Isis in question has had that name for well before the terrorist group was getting called by that name.

- pmilla1606 11y agoI think they meant the authors name is Isis: https://blog.patternsinthevoid.net/author/isis-agora-lovecruft.html https://blog.patternsinthevoid.net/author/isis-agora-lovecru...
- jalami 11y agoI think Isis here refers to Isis Agora Lovecruft, the author of this post.
- Natsu 11y agoOuch. If ever there was a good reason to change your name...
- tga_d 11y ago... this would not be it.
- Natsu 11y agoI certainly wouldn't want to share a name with a terrorist group, and I know at least one company that used to be named Isis that ditched that name. So I cannot agree with you.
- oarsinsync 11y agoWhat happens if the Men Against the Republic of Korea go on a massive killing spree? What if the Dudes Against Vermont Equality start blowing up bombs all over Vermont? Silly examples aside, giving up a part of yourself and your life because of terrorism only serves to demonstrate the effectiveness of terrorism, which then serves to encourage more of it.
- Natsu 11y agoIt's true that it's a sad thing when names are ruined, but I doubt you'd find very many people willing to carry certain names any longer, such as Hitler.
- april1stislame 11y agoIsis is the name of an Egyptian goddess, not a terrorist group. Go educate yourself, barbarian.
