The US is such an authoritarian dystopia that this guy gets put in jail with the key thrown away 5 years ago. And this is the first I hear of it.

Probably plenty more where that came from.

Always remember. The police isn't your friend. It never has been and never will be. Doesn't matter if its local or federal.

Literally had no idea what the hell was going on. Crazy how long this went on without anybody knowing

Nothing more patriotic than telling the Fedbois to get stuffed.

Zuckerborg and our other techbro overlords could learn a thing or two from this dude.

Damn, props to his conviction to take prison time to tell the feds to go fuck themselves on this matter.

I'm sure the news media would never pay attention because at best for them it becomes a story of a far right Nazi fighting to allow a dark web. That's part of the problem, it's kept so quiet. There's no outrage because no one knew about it.

I heard he was using the dark web to procure abortions for women in Texas.

Hopefully New York Times sees this

He was also using the darkweb to run the underground railroad sneaking Mexicans in

How dare you attempt to protect people’s right to exist and operate outside of the warrantless spying of your J’ish occupied government!

So the feds aren't capable of running their own, faster exit node? Like host it in Room 641A?

Clearly it's just more fun for them to ruin some dude's life and leave the perceived problem unresolved to get another budget bump.

That needs a lot of bureaucracy involved, and leaves a paper trail that could interfere with later political prosecutions built on parallel construction. If a person, "willingly," let's them in, they can avoid all that, and usually keep the spying for probably cause, or planting of digital evidence (or real evidence, using the online info to figure out how to do it sneakily), hidden from the defense.

Welp. Guess they're not gonna get to access that Tor exit node.

Yep. Too bad we can't say the same for sure about the rest.
