The Tor Project merges with Tails, a Linux-based portable OS focused on privacy

  Tails is getting brought into Tor. Hopefully this is good for privacy

  I do not think that such a centralization is desirable. The Tor project has lost a lot of credibility for me after the treatment of one of its developers with flimsy accusations that happened to be the exact same accusations as leveled against Assange (also never proven) almost at the same time. Both Assange and that developer were outspoken critics of the NSA. In other words, I consider the possibility that the Tor project is subverted, so why should I trust Tails now?

    If you consider Tor to be unsafe, then it would make sense that you would think Tails would also be unsafe. Is your evidence that Tor is insecure anecdotal, or have you found something?

    Because the Tor project is the only anonymity network with enough cover traffic and nodes to actually provide a reasonable amount of privacy to users. Yes, there are attacks that are possible but they are typically costly (at least ones that aren't targeted at hidden services) and are mitigated using recent inventions like Vanguards.

    Centralization bad because Tor kicked out an abuser, so therefore subverted by the NSA, makes a lot of sense.
