It's clear that the internet is too insecure, and the world's super powers can't help themselves, they simply have to meddle with it.
Maybe it's time we started using Tor hidden services for everything.
- qubax 8y agoJust like programming languages can only have two out of three concepts ( soundness, completeness, decidability ), the creators of the internet had to choose two out of three concepts ( openness, robustness, security ). It's theoretically impossible to have a language that is sound, complete and decidable. It's probably also impossible to have an internet that is open, robust and secure.
- jstanley 8y agoI don't think that argument holds water. Which one of "open, robust, secure" do you think Tor doesn't meet? You can pick any 3 concepts and group them together like that, but it doesn't mean you can't have all 3, e.g. a house can be "large, cheap, and well-decorated" (e.g. if it is in the middle of nowhere).
- ZeKZ 8y agoTor lacks usability and efficiency.
- Filligree 8y agoThose weren't on the list. ;-)
- jstanley 8y agoThe efficiency isn't as bad as it used to be. I browse using Tor as a matter of course now, and it's fine. What's the usability problem? Just that you have to download Tor Browser instead of Firefox? The usability of setting up a hidden service is actually easier than getting an SSL certificate.
