Tor should NOT be promoted
The reports of Tor being compromised by backdoors available to LEO personnel are numerous. The article in its current state does not reflect this at all. ____meco (talk) 07:11, 21 March 2016 (UTC)
- Since you say that the reports are so numerous, could you please provide a few links to articles about these "backdoors" in Tor? Thanks. User4 (talk) 07:52, 21 March 2016 (UTC)
- I posted I think 7 or 8 such links in an article on a website that has recently disappeared, so I don't have them readily available for reposting, but you could find several easily by doing a web search. Start with "tor onion backdoor" and try similar terms and variations. __meco (talk) 21:52, 22 March 2016 (UTC)
- Carl Sagan is quoted as saying, "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence." You are making an extraordinary claim. It seems to me that you should provide the evidence. Please do. Thank you. User4 (talk) 03:45, 23 March 2016 (UTC)
