Wrong. It certainly makes a lot of sense to use Tor even if the communication partners know and can identify each other. Tor will provide location anonymity, and hide the communication ("who is communication with whom, and how often"). This is _the_ major selling point of Tor, escaping surveillance. Anonymity is just the baseline you need to then establish communication on top of it. Don't make the mistake of reducing Tor to "two people that don't know each other can communicate, and get a random nickname each time". > If you to be anonymous, TextSecure obviously isn't for you, but SMS > messaging also isn't for you.

You usually do want a persistent identifier. -- Moritz Bartl https://www.torservers.net/ -- tor-talk mailing list - tor-talk@lists.torproject.org To unsubscribe or change other settings go to https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
