After reading this, I think if everyone setup a Tor node just for TV, that’s be great (harder to identify who is watching what).

- Bnshsysjab 7y agoDid you actually read it? It literally says identifiers were sent irrespective of tracking settings. Tor only masks IP and that was never the intent of the Tor network and using it that way is a is a complete waste of resources that doesn’t solve anything.

- Bnshsysjab 7y agoI don’t know a great deal about tor so maybe that’s true, but suggesting people use some convoluted routing in the name of privacy (which it doesn’t solve) isn’t the way to go about it. If smashing TOR with bandwidth actually helps anonymise real users, then TOR should get in contact with BitTorrent client developers and get them to creat clients that split traffic over tor and non tor routes. That way they can create sanely manageable traffic from a very large volume of nodes, helping mask tor users far more than what a few obscurely routed tvs ever would.
