OK, we heard a lot of technical details, I'll cover the non-tech part of it.

Yes, it's stupid. First, the legal issues. What he does is overtaking a TOR-user's machine by malicious code. He's accusing people of being childporn consuments based on the fact that *some* childporn keyword was found - we all know how good that works! (just have a look at the available internet filtering-software out there). I don't know about other countries legislations but evidences which weer gathered illegally are worth shit at court. So if you got a real child molester he'll be found not guilty and when you find just some innocent dude you're still going to destroy his personal life. Just the rumor "oh, that dude does child-porn" is enough to destroy a lot of personal relationsships. Secondly: It's harming the TOR-project in two ways: * TOR will lose valuable reputation and the rest of the world will denounce us of bigotry. * If the anti-child-porn patch will be applied the next lobby-group will demand a backdoor. Why not the PETA? They could as for all customers who bould furry clothes online. It's for the animals! Why not the RIAA or MPAA? It's for the better good and the artists! The idea is - and sorry for my language - a big pile of crap. Just my 2c, Alex. -- "I am tired of all this sort of thing called science here...
