A project providing "freedom", i.e. anonymity and circumvention for "unfree" countries depends on countries, which are still "free". It depends on countries where it is legal to host anonymizing proxies. A new law proposing to make Tor and similar software illegal in US would be a damn hard hit against Tor. And the other remaining "free" countries can establish similar laws. No more "free" countries = no more Tor. _______________________________________________ tor-talk mailing list tor-talk@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
