@boris A lot of the Fed's stuff around TOR has been about trying to arrest developers and make the service untenable to users. They know they can't kill the software, but they can kill the people running the network and go after the people developing it. Not that long ago someone running an exit node on the Fediverse had a "visit" from police in their own country, though it wasn't America.

@boris Norway. The police were pretty understanding actually, but it spooked him a bit.
As to the operations, well, consolidation of power has been a thing for the elite for a long time. They can't have the plebes having power after all.

@boris They fear what they cannot control, and their control of TOR is loose at best.

@boris @moonman ie, people they know they can lean on.

@joelpurra @boris If you have no empathy for a man with a family and career at stake being taken to task by the police for running a TOR exit node, sure.

@joelpurra @maiyannah if he would have been unable to answer any questions, being away on holiday for instance, they would have entered the house, by crowbar if necesary. Siezed anything computer related and held them for maybe one year. Or in my case. They would have seized all my servers while figuring out what's going on. This is a real problem with preserving anonymity on internet.
