And most have no problems with what they saw or did, and many used the contacts and knowledge gained from that background to further their civilian careers in the field and continue to maintain those connections and shared goals therewith.
- LMYahooTFY 7y agoExcuse if I'm wrong, but is the implication that this should not occur at all? I'm not sure how that's even possible.
- mirimir 7y agoSure, it happens all the time. But the implications depend on context. It's not a huge issue that Palantir is loaded with former CIA and NSA people. Except about financial issues. But former intelligence folk running a VPN service? That makes one wonder what their goals actually are. That is, "maintain those connections and shared goals therewith". Many don't trust the Tor Project, for just that reason.
- LMYahooTFY 7y agoDo you have a source for any of that? Who at the Tor Project is a former intelligence employee?
- SahAssar 7y agoI'm not sure if you mean current developers, but TOR was started at the United States Naval Research Laboratory, which is definitely connected to the military intelligence operations.
- mirimir 7y agoCore Tor[0] ... Paul Syverson ... Who else, I don't know. But hey, I gotta say that Paul seems honorable. And a bloody genius, with a great sense of humor. I'm not a harsh critic. Just prudently suspicious. 0) https://www.torproject.org/about/people/ https://www.torproject.org/about/people/
