EFF looking for a few good developers...
(old news - 09:25AM Wednesday Mar 21 2007)
tags: security · software · networking
Boing Boing notes that this summer the EFF is hiring people to work on Tor. Tor is a networking system that bounces all of your traffic through a myriad of encrypted links (dubbed "onion routers"). It was designed primarily to protect researchers and political dissidents (though it's been home to seedier activity of late). From the wiki: "You will work with a world-class team of anonymity experts and developers on what is already the largest and most active strong anonymity network ever." From home, no less.

The only thing ethic classes teach you is how to look ethical while getting away with being a tyrant. Is that what you were trying to convey?

This will do more good than harm. In other words, it's a good thing!

Information was mean't to be free and not controlled!

If someone does not want to accept anonymous requests they are free to do so. It's all very democratic. Information control is the communist way. Which do YOU prefer!

The hell does that mean? The program is simply for anonymity purposes only. How is trying to remain anonymous "unethical"?

That has nothing to do with ethics. If anything, anonymity (falsely) implies illegality. Laws and ethics, while they can co-mingle, do not infer one or the other.

Put it this way. I'm an average Joe citizen...but I wouldn't like my supermarket shopping records being held - its just my personal opinion that they don't *need* to retain that information. Wether my opinion goes anywhere legally is irrelevant. To call me "unethical" simply because I don't like to be known to businesses/corporations as a database entry doesn't make any sense.

I may as well call people who like really spicy food unethical.

I see you subscribe to the "government is everywhere and after you" version of history.

You mean like this?

March 20, 2007, WASHINGTON (AP) - Republicans and Democrats sternly warned the FBI on Tuesday that it could lose its broad power to collect telephone, e-mail and financial records to hunt terrorists after revelations of widespread abuses of the authority detailed in a recent internal investigation.

Their threats came as the Justice Department's chief watchdog, Glenn A. Fine, told the House Judiciary Committee that the FBI engaged in widespread and serious misuse of its authority in illegally collecting the information from Americans and foreigners through so-called national security letters.

"From the attorney general on down, you should be ashamed of yourself," said Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif. "We stretched to try to give you the tools necessary to make America safe, and it is very, very clear that you've abused that trust.”

With your avatar, it's obvious you choose to be blind.

Sorry, but I've never seen someone get as owned as you just did.
