It is just a meme constantly pushed by liberals to protect terrorists and pedophiles. It's always the left that's continuously pushing for this bullshit.

>privacy just a meme shilled by terrorists and pedophiles?

...

encryption is used to stop people from stealing all of your bank info/passwords/sensitive info when it travels across the internet num nuts so yes there are genuine reasons

Post a timestamped picture of you outside your house, showing your address, you terrorist pedo
Protip: you will move the goalposts

>when you're such a subhuman that even pedophiles and terrorists are more human than you

Tor is also used by people for journalism/whistleblower reasons when it would be impossible to report on them in certain countries otherwise.

The folks who care about privacy are the same ones shilling for net neutrality. So there's your answer.

>>>/leftypol/

>Banning encryption would require legislation that looks like a cross between banning certain kinds of math and free expression.
>Secure financial transactions are dependent on encryption.
>Businesses need encryption to protect their patrons
>Encryption is necessary for private communication at a distance between citizens.
I know I'm being trolled.

Is there anything legitimate use for you balls? Probably not.

You know nothing about my views on NN. So unless you have evidence for them, fuck off you shitposting moron. Also, you're using an user image board that has https implemented. Are you some kind of terrorist pedo? Please post a timestamped image of yourself outside your house with your address

Privacy is a meme. Like one ingenious user said:
>Nothing to hide, nothing to fear.

While we're at it, why you post as "Anonymous"? Post with your real full name.
Also, post images of yourself.
What's your address?
Make a backup of your emails and upload so we could read them.
Open SSH on your PC and let as view all your files.
What worse could happen, right?

You are clinically retarded.

>slippery slope
are you actually this retarded or just memeing?

We don't need to ban encryption.

We just need moderate, common-sense encryption control. No honest man has a legitimate need for more than 64 bit encryption, which he can use after passing a mandatory registration and background check with the authorities and providing them with his passwords.

>Hurp durp why would I ever need privacy. I love my guns, I love my country.

>muh secure finances
Do you really need military-grade encryption for that?

source on that pic? did anything close to that happen?

Fuck off back to plebbit, faggot.

If you can have it, why not use it? The point of using some secure is to have it secure.

You sound like someone who wants to abuse someone's privacy.

I don't think there's anything inherently wrong with Tor's technology but at the same time I get the feeling that the feds have most exit nodes captured by now and using Tor in general sets off red flags

What is "military grade"? If your encryption can be broken for whatever reason in a reasonable amount of time it is literally, the original definition, useless. You use "military grade" encryption all the fucking time. Please do this as well: or are you a terrorist pedo?

We don't censor chemistry or physics. We control substances that could be used by a chemist or physicist to hurt people. You can read up on explosives or nuclear bombs as much as you want, but good luck trying to buy uranium. I can still buy Nabakov's Lolita online or at any book store. Child pornography laws exist primarily to stop child exploitation. Smut seems to get a free pass and illustrations are in a weird gray area.

just because you have nothing to hide doesn't mean they have nothing to find

>can't fathom the inherent value of privacy

people born after 9/11 are too young to be posting here

Trips confirm

>Do you really need military-grade encryption for that?
Yes, because A) the term 'military-grade' is meaningless and any encryption that isn't 'military-grade' is trivial to break into B) foreign powers (a military) have an incentive to cripple our infrastructure.

Reminder that people born in 1999 are already allowed to post, and soon so will be people born in 2000.

fag

working from home relies 100% on encryption

>military-grade encryption
There is no such thing as military-grade encryption there is only reasonably secure encryption and non-secure encryption. Any encryption that can be cracked in a reasonable time frame to do harm no matter who does it is non-secure

Sensitive hillbilly.

Just cause your ignorant to the technology doesn't mean others should be dumbed down to your level.

>I have nothing to hide from muh country so you shouldn't either.

All right-wing positions are always a result of scientific and technological ignorance.

Yeah, the TOR devs publicly condemned The Daily Stormer for being on their network

Which marked the first time the TOR devs had ever condemned anyone, ever, for using TOR in spite of the fact that it's full of pedophiles and drug dealers. The Daily Stormer upset them in a way that other shit didn't.

blog.torproject.org/tor-project-defends-human-rights-racists-oppose

I love the bit about "many diverse points on the (legitimate, non-Nazi) political spectrum." They're the ultimate libertarians - you're entitled to any opinion you want as long as it's legitimate and non-Nazi.

That image looks so creepy.

We should always be judging people by the expected consequences of their actions and not their professed intentions. The Tor developers said stuff, but they didn't act on it. Tor still works as well as it ever did.

>tor was created for and by left-winged people such as freedom fighters
>right-winged "people" such as terrorists and pedophiles use it because freedom doesn't discriminate good from evil
>white nationalists are offended and butthurt that tor people don't want any more right-wingers who abuse freedom for evil

Goes to show how cucked libertarianism is.

I think the only reason they said anything at all is because of the media witch hunt going on against the alt-right and nazis in general that was, and still is, going on around that time. The media followed where the site was going and the Tor devs decided they should speak up since they were going to get swarmed by people wanting to talk to them about it. They obviously disagree with it and other things (drugs, cp, etc) but they just wanted to clarify their stance that they wouldn't remove it while also getting brownie points by saying that they disagree with it and those other things I listed

Nah, the intentions are just as important.

So basically it's still a DoD funded honeypot. Gotcha.

But there's nothing contradictory about libertarians opposing authoritarianism. They are, in fact, antithetical ideologies.

>scientific and technological ignorance
Your so called right-wing Nazis where on the fore-front of technology for most of WW2 if not all of WW2 and Nazi science is what gave America the edge to be able to land on the moon

Yes, but that's between them and God. Not you.

Nah, capitalism drives technological progress. Shoo shoo, naziboo.

We never landed on the moon.

Who gets to decide which opinions are the "legitimate, non-Nazi" political opinions?

Public opinion.

god you're retarded

>Public opinion.
That's not a great idea.

What could possibly go wrong?

>WE WUZ GERMAN SCIENTISTS AND SHIESSE
For more than half a century, all nazis are fringe retards with average IQ comparable to average African country located below equator.

Following a retarded ideology because everyone else does is one thing.
Following a retarded ideology not even normies follow is supremely idiotic.

>tyranny of the majority
God you're retarded

Mostly it's to solve the problem of ensuring persons A and B can communicate with one another and not have to fear person C sticking themselves in the middle of the convo to derail it all.

There's other applications to it; you can simply obfuscate data so people can't just steal your shit without knowing a decryption key, you can set up key signatures to prove that you're who you claim to be by having a trusted party vouch for it due to how public-key works, blockchains are pretty much built off of crypto techniques, onion routing hedges on crypto to anonymize the traffic...

>being a cryptography illiterate
It's always tech illiterates fucking everything up.

Do you have a source on those claims?
t. Someone who doesn't like nazis

>everyone i disagree with is a nazi
WTF i love nazis now.

I never said that though

As with any ambiguous issue that's open to abuse, in a democracy, it comes down voting in decent representatives who will write decent laws, electing decent judges, and being decent jurors.

Not yet. The moment you get btfo you'll start. Prove me wrong.

It's the worst cognitive dissonance I've ever seen. All of the most educated, well-adjusted, successful people are complete believers in racial egalitarianism in spite of it being blatantly, obviously bullshit.

I guess that's how shit like bleeding as a medical remedy and geocentric astronomy survived for centuries among the most erudite people.

Or maybe, just maybe it's a Big Lie that they are all forced to repeat despite disbelieving it, such as when Nobel Prize winner James Watson pointed out the obvious about blacks tending to be violent fucktards and everyone else lined up to condemn him.

>prove me wrong
Provide a source. I don't hate someone because their belief system is one I don't agree with.

In you should return.
>providing them with his passwords.
Give the password to us too, while you're at it
>first time the TOR devs had ever condemned anyone
That's simply flase, just have to look at theyr blog.
All these shills to convince us of not being the literally only source of security for internet, you are not going to fool anyone here

>That's simply flase, just have to look at theyr blog.
Mind finding me a link prior to August 17th of the TOR devs explicitly condemning a specific TOR user?

>m-muh cherrypicked example!
>n-nevermind the overwhelming and obvious correlation of low IQ and racism, nope
>r-race is a scientific concept guise! scientists are just brainwashed sheeple who don't comprehend the true volkish reality!

buy Obsidian

What the fuck? Antiracists are the ones living in a fantasy.

I mean look at this map and tell me where the biggest racists live, and then tell me how come being surrounded by so much diversity for so long hasn't made them more tolerant?

>Antiracists are the ones living in a fantasy.
>normal people are a special group for me to hate
>also, all scientists are living in a fantasy because they do not adhere to my non-scientific idea of human race

>obvious correlation of low IQ and racism
What's so obvious about it? The median IQ in China is 105 and they're notoriously racist.

>prior to August 17th
Do you want a cherry too?
They post like once a day, I am not going to mine in because some shill is trying to make Tor devs look like pedos

>actual science denial the post

>Do you want a cherry too?
No, I want you to substantiate your claim that they ever condemned anyone prior to The Daily Stormer. They obviously didn't, because why else would they make that "We're allowed to change" statement here?

>The median IQ in China is 105
People starving is now intelligent?

Holy fuck.

This guy is a Sup Forums false-flagger trying to make anti-racists look bad, right?

>when leftists say to judge people by their character not the color of their skin
>and the results are the same as if you judged by skin color anyway

>racists are all stupid
>Chinese people are all racist
>that proves Chinese people are stupid
But isn't saying "Chinese people are stupid" pretty racist?

>r-race is real guise! if you disagree, you're a false-flagger!
>normal people are denying science, even though no peer reviewed studies support the concept of human races or subspecies!

>thread is just political shit flinging and identity politics thinly disguised as something tech related

>DNA Pioneer
>Nobel Prize Winner
>points out people in Africa have significantly lower IQ than white people
OMFG HE'S A FUCKING NAZI REEEEEEE

This thread just made me realize how incredibly insecure tor has become now that it is no longer a general purpose privacy network. I can block tor because there are no human rights violations happening here. You dont need tor it needs you.

Have you even said anything in this entire thread or have you just greentexted
>s-strawman opinion, i-i'm a retard
over and over again?

>y-you're the one who has to prove that race is not a scientific concept!
>b-burden of proof? w-what a stupid jewish concept!

is leaking. Nothing privacy or encryption anymore.

Shoo flys we got gentoo to be installing.

Literally in the faq.
Now please go back to

You can't sage with an image.

congratulations, you played yourself

Your picture is wrong, Trump should be putting the tech illiterate pajeet on the FCC chair.

There's no explicit condemnation of anyone in there, they only use the nebulous word "criminals"

They named The Daily Stormer, they didn't bother to name, say, Silk Road or any of the CP sites.

In addition, nothing Stormer does actually is "criminal"

Feds needs idiot pedos to use tor so they can use it to hijack iran.

Privacy means you are in control with what you share with who.
Eg, the way you talk to your wife in private is different from making a speech in front of a hundred people.
The most important part is the ability to say something that is wrong and being corrected by someone you trust.
If you speak publicly, the consequences are amplified which make you more cautious to make any statements and ultimately, you might not have said anything at all.

Encryption offers two properties.
You can verify who the author is.
You can make it unreadable for outsiders.

It makes sense to make everything encrypted. Even statements you make to the public should be encrypted as the receivers should be able to verify it was you who said it and to avoid having two observers discover each other.

I never understood why people like you come to Sup Forums and say stupid shit like this. You're probably on one or two watch list just for coming here. You don't think people in the government are above petty grudges? Look what the Obama administration tryd to do to Dinesh D'Souza.

You know, I did not talk about racism, it was about the fact that starving and being exploited doesn't let you develop special intelligence, as in Africa, starving makes your brain underdevelop.
love for your fellow man
bababababack to the shilling board

That's just the thing though, the Chinese have had more than their fair share of "starving and being exploited," for centuries on end, and are a superpower anyway
