So, what are they going to do about it?
- whatshisface 9y agoWhy would you expect them to do anything? Racism is one of the least vile things of the vile things that Tor makes possible, and it isn't even illegal. (Edit: Wording slightly changed to reflect point raised below.)
- eeks 9y agoTor does not support any vile things. It's a freedom platform. A tool. Honor is not in the blade but in the hand that holds it.

- mozumder 9y agoSo, why make a statement if they don't want to act on it? I mean, if you're going to be neutral, say it. Don't say you're against something, when you're not.
- azdle 9y agoTo make it clear that they dislike the fact that their work is being used in this way, but, as the article states, that they are technically unable to do anything about it without completely compromising the entire reason Tor exists.
- godd2 9y agoOr so people stop emailing them asking what they're going to do.
- guelo 9y agoThey addressed that in the article. They can't do anything.
- dragonwriter 9y agoBy design, there's pretty much nothing the Tor project can do about what people use Tor for. (Beyond publicly repudiating it.) If they could, the whole idea wouldn't work.
