What are the other options for anonymity that don't provide the same cover for criminal activity?
- rsync 5y agoOne option that I have theorized in the past is to simply run the tor network at a very low bandwidth per connection. As in, 28.8K or 56K or so ... This would force tor into being a text only communications channel which would obviate many of the most egregious illegal use-cases. You'd lose nothing with regard to freedom of speech and thought and communication. For instance, you can publish, and consume, a site like HN without any issues on 56K.
- INTPenis 5y agoI like that idea. It's so simple but it would totally get the job done. Of course this would have to be a throttling per connection so 100 HTTPS API calls don't congest a relay node. But I don't see it working in reality because there is the argument that you might need to share leaks anonymously and that would take days.
