Why would the NSA fuck with a TOR developer, when the federal government contributes a great deal of TOR code and actually runs exit nodes as a matter of research?

At the very least a TOR developer might find themselves in the same room with interesting people. > when the federal government contributes a great deal of TOR code The US gov isn't a single monolithic entity with a singular purpose and every person working in lock-step. > and actually runs exit nodes as a matter of research? I wouldn't trust a gov't run TOR node. It may be fine for dissidents in uninteresting countries, but not for anyone who wants to keep their privacy safe from the US gov't.
- Smegger 13y agobecause it is two different divisions of the government that don't get along. And while the NSA may have the power to fuck with a Civilian TOR dev, if they were to start hacking Navy Intelligence they would get in a world of trouble.
