wow, what i also dont like seeing is the Sida - (Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency) involved in this....that country is gone..and under full UN control..anything coming from there is suspect at best. There own native population is fleeing to Hungary, Poland, Australia, and the USA by the thousands ( on a monthly basis)...because of all the muzzies over running the place. (cited sources in link)
well, to be fair, we probably shouldn't judge the software by who contributes - it's open source, and i'm pretty sure it would be of massive concern to the gov/mil/intel entities that use it were there a known exploit since the other side would also know about it
...of course that assumes that gov/mil/intel doesn't actually does use it
"well, to be fair, we probably shouldn't judge the software by who contributes**"
I have to respectfully disagree. I think it absolutely matters who contributes, when a country does so little for its native inhabitants that they flee in droves..the agencies that are involved with it are inherently corrupt and not to be trusted...extrapolate that out to other agencies' within the same government and explain to me why i should trust them? and what would make we want to in the future without a full regime change?
well, that's the thing with open source software - no one has to trust the developer or backers
were Tor proprietary and you had these same companies/foundations supporting it, that would be a massively different story
.... now i just contradicted myself because earlier i said i don't trust Tor :)
