Is that all you took away from this? I'm skeptical that you actually read it all. I think more attention is paid to CIA involvement and the sketchy activities of Tor leadership than to J. Applebaum.

But I agree that the best strategy, assuming there was malfeasance, is probably not to hold Tor authorities accountable in this way.

He is being accused of multiple rapes, not simply harassment.

This should be settled in court, not with witch hunting.

I personally don't care about the people who work on a project that should be strictly technical. I don't understand why did they have to mix politics in.

That's true insofar as it applies to the question of whether or not he should be imprisoned; unfortunately our society is terrible at such things when it comes to rape.

Whether or not Tor wishes to continue employing him should be left to the opinions of Tor management, which they are fully permitted to form after simply listening to the women he raped.

I believe them. You should, too.

Believing multiple rape victims isn't a witch hunt.

If the Tor management wants to fire him, that's up to them. For any reason, or no reason at all. It's their decision. On the other hand, "rape" is a delicate matter, and all of this shouldn't have been discussed in public.

>I believe them. You should, too.

I don't believe them for two reasons:

1) There is no actual proof. I don't believe things for which there's no proof.

2) It's possible multiple people didn't like him and therefore between themselves they decided to accuse him of rape to get rid of him.

Direct eyewitness/victim testimony is proof, actually.

You can doubt the credibility of that, if you like, but that's up to you; to say there is no proof is a falsehood.

It is interesting that you pay more heed to the notion of a character assassination conspiracy involving multiple credible parties than the simpler explanation that perhaps this well-known liar is also a well-known rapist.

Have you heard of Occam's Razor?

I hate to break it to you, but looks are not correlated in any way with whether or not someone is a rapist.

Multiple, independent women accusing someone of rape is, however.

The Tor project, as many other popular open source projects, has been infiltrated by tons of people who like to use the popularity of it to spread their liberal propaganda. That's why it's in their interests to make as much noise as possible.

The project itself is full with all sorts of people with mental illnesses, including sexual deviations, and a strong political bias--it's a massive echo chamber right now.

And it's a shame because of the nature of this project: it should be kept neutral. Similar to the EFF for example.

To the alt-right Interneteers, "don't rape people" is liberal propaganda now.

I dunno, maybe this is some liberal extremism speaking, but I don't think organizations should be neutral on the issue of raping people.
