Applied widely, this criticism also disqualifies many projects and teams from being deemed trustworthy: not only the Tor Project[0] but anything written by the Guardian Project team[1], or the folks who build Secure Scuttlebutt[2], or even the team working on reproducible-builds.org[3].
Like em or not, OTF funds a ton of great privacy-augmenting shit.

- CameronNemo 5y agoAre there tribes within federal agencies, or across the federal administration? It seems like some actors are really against strong encryption and the like, while others actively work to improve it. Traditionally, this has been explained by saying that the feds have defensive and offensive strategies, but I have to wonder if there are certain federal agents that lean toward one end of the spectrum or the other.
