I reckon this was their point rather than a rebuttal. They seem to believe it is legal as well as a right and they're going to at least try.
Would I do run a tor node? Not in Russia and prob not in the US where I live. I am glad a global network of people are braver than I am.
- throwanem 10y agoWell, whether it's legal and whether it's a right - itself a concept of law, with no meaning outside that context - is up to the state, and the state doesn't seem thus far inclined to decide the question in their favor. Perhaps they will convince it otherwise.
- supergarfield 10y agoWhether it's legal is certainly up to the state, but whether it's an ethical right just as certainly isn't. All rights aren't legal rights.
- throwanem 10y agoSure, if you're discussing the matter with someone who subscribes to the same system of ethics you do. Otherwise, if it matters to you that your interlocutor agree with you on whether and which ethical rights apply, you've got some convincing to do.
- wand3r 10y agoRight. I meant that potentially they consulted lawyers / evaluated the law before making the claim. I have no idea if it is legal in Russia (and they may not either) but the quote seemed to be a statement which if levied at RU; hopefully has something backing it up
- throwanem 10y agoI read that as a normative, not a positive, statement. If there's anything at all to suggest it be taken otherwise, I'd love to see a cite, because I've looked for one and not found it.
