archive of tweet in case of removal:https://archive.is/h4k29
Seems ironic a browser claiming to be against censorship is now engaging in cancel culture if that's not bad enough seems they preemptively blocked reply's from the tweet on twitter as only "People @torproject follows or mentioned can reply." appears on the live page as of this writing.
After looking at the open letter in question it seems they are censoring all opposing views if this thread is to be believed: https://github.com/rms-support-letter/rms-support-letter.github.io/issues/175, not really related just seems like good trivia.
Tor went woke a long time ago. As befits a service used mostly for child pornography.
It's always a "big think" moment when developers don't care when people use a platform for child porn, drug deals, and even hitmen; but "fascism" is unacceptable.
Revealed preference as regards to the friend/enemy distinction.
Child pornography just harms kids. It does not threaten their power. There is no reason at all for them to oppose it. A lot of New Left folks throughout Europe advocated for the legalization of pedophilia and/or child pornography.
I wonder how much modern policy is just moves in a multi-generational game of chess towards a checkmate of being able to fuck kids.
Occam's Razor inversion: These people ALREADY do that. See: Epstein, Rotterham, etc. The best explanation is the one that accounts for the least complexities. It introduces a very large complexity if their plan is to "be able" to do something they're already regularly doing.
The elites already do that and have been probably for centuries. But they'll do it regardless of legality, and to a certain extent it's better for group solidarity if it remains illegal.
I'm talking about the freaks with misshapen skulls at "peaceful protests" being able to do so.
But those semi-useful idiots are just that: useful idiots. They may want to be depraved adrenochrome-sucking politicos, but they're... not.
If the Useful Idiot faction is running a multigenerational 4d chess game against the interests of their controllers, it just doesn't sound right. In the methods of Biden, it doesn't pass a Sniff test.
Anyone with enough power and clout to run a multigenerational power gambit in order to be degenerate, doesn't need to run a multigenerational power gambit to be degenerate. They can just go to Africa or the Middle-East and buy a sex slave or fifty of any age or gender they want, with probably less than a month waiting period even with COVID travel restrictions. There can be inversions of power, puppeteers being played by their puppets, 5d Parcheesi, 6d Backgammon, it all doesn't matter to the base point of the ultimate one pulling the strings, doesn't need those particular strings pulled for that particular reason.
If they were aiming for another Hitler, pulling those strings would make sense. Re-enact Weimar Germany, to get post-Weimar Germany, because that's not something they can instantly "get". If they were aiming for societal collapse, pulling those strings would make sense, because that's not something they can just "get".
How about for thousands of years. The aspect of what age you stop being a "kid" has drastically changed in the last 200 years as just over a 100 years ago the US allowed boys as low as the age of 14 join the military. We have also seen and still see around the world where girls as young as 12 years old are allowed to be legally married. The Bar and bat mitzvah are multi-millennial long religious traditions that view people reaching the age of 13 being considered an adult for their society at that point and time.
Over time, this will become just "the Left", and that's when opposing it threatens their power. Privately, I'm sure many would love to embrace it, since they've created this New Left, but publicly, they still need centrist support. Enough critical theory and critical race theory in primary school will get them there eventually.
If the last 100 years have taught us anything, it should be that they know patience when prudent.
No, that's disgusting, and it doesn't even follow from your silly little made up story.
It is paraphrasing the Hunter Biden scandal. The FBI covered it up. It's also similar to what happened with Anthony Wiener's laptop. Nothing gets done.
The laws against possession of evidence of crimes makes it easier to bury evidence.
Anthony Weiner went to prison. Biden may yet if it's not buried, but that's not because of laws against owning evidence of a crime. It's madness to suggest that pedophiles should be free to share and distribute images of their rapes as will as a response.
i thought it was still worth mentioning anyway.
Oh, it definitely is. I just wanted to point out that it's not exactly out of character.
What a pathetic joke the open source community has become.
They finally cracked the "embrace, extend, and extinguish" code for it.
People who care about digital privacy tend to be raging leftists.
Even a broken clock is right twice a day.
If the right had cared about privacy they wouldn't be so tied to corporate leftist social media or get hauled off by the feebs in the US for protesting.
I don't get why the right are still surprised that leftist social media is censoring and deplatforming them.
I wish someone from the right would talk about digital privacy and open source software and bring awareness to the issue.
There are people on the right who still use Google search despite knowing Google is evil, or still using the Youtube app on their smartphone, or not using an adblocker on their browser/phone, or is still using Google Chrome. They keep complaining about leftist institutions but do nothing to prevent these companies to profit off of their data.
every last signer of that remove rms letter could die tomorrow and the world would be a better place.
Has Tor been taken over by extreme feminists?
Their key evidence against RMS was that virginia guiffre (jeffrey epstein's sex trafficked woman) was willing. Her own testimony claims she was....
RMS’s views on rape and child sex laws were publicly discussed in the Fall of 2019, when Selam G wrote about them.1 Especially chilling is when Stallman addresses the accusations that Marvin Minsky sexually assaulted one of Jeffrey Epstein’s trafficking victims (Virginia Giuffre) by saying “but the most plausible scenario is that she presented herself to him as entirely willing.”2 RMS decries that this is not “sexual assault” because “‘assaulting’ presumes that he applied forc
She was between 17-19 while associating with Epstein, so not exactly a helpless child.
As I understand it, she was living with her father and working at Mar-a-lago when they offered her a job doing “massage therapy”.
Sounds more to me like a bored young girl enticed by wealthy people and a chance to travel around the world.
Tor will likely be going down the shitter soon, just like firefox.
The Tor foundation have been doing a shitty job at fighting malicious exit nodes scraping for account info.

As I recall when they found out "nazis" and "fascists" were using it the put out a statement to the effect of "the software is designed to be secure to use even by people we don't like, but when 'fascists' use it we consider it a moral obligation to do whatever we can to attack the security".
Whats RMS?
Richard Stallman I think.
Have you ever taken a look at the profile pictures of Tor employees? It was enough for me to be suspicious.
Yep
What the hell is wrong with the root mean square method?
I always knew lefty faggots hated math.
well they're funded by U.S. government so no surprise really
