[liberationtech] Freedom Hosting, Tormail Compromised // OnionCloud

[Griffin Boyce]

Al,

We may have to disagree as to the way forward. I hate to be
contentious, but it seems unlikely that Tor applied a patch without
reading firefox's changelog. Two days ago I presented a talk which
emphasized how useful Tor is -- and I stand by that. Tor is still the
best option for maintaining one's anonymity.

I use Tor. I teach people how to use Tor. I run relays and hidden
services. I code on Tor-related projects. And I tell large crowds why
they should do all of that too. It's not like I'm some hater.
