It looks like they clarified their story, not changed it? It did say that it uses idle resources collaboratively...I'm not really trying to argue, just wondering if it was really that deceptive. I had never heard of them until this post.
- 8chan 11y ago> It did say that it uses idle resources collaboratively So does Folding@Home. So does tor onion routing (relay node). Nowhere did it say outside of the EULA that they are using all their users as exit nodes. They failed to specify which "resources". It's indefensible, and people would have fallen for this cover up had Google not archived it.
- sudioStudio64 11y agoI see what you mean. That's pretty crazy.
- hiamnew 11y agoTor only relays if users explicitly configure it to. By default Tor acts as a client.
