Comment on Microsoft Defender no longer flags Tor Browser as malware

  Yeah, and the FBI has been doing that for at least 7 years now, to catch some pretty disgusting criminals: digitaltrends.com/…/fbi-running-darknet-child-por…

  If they are willing to do it to catch bad guys, who’s stopping them from doing it to monitor good guys as well?

    The outrage…

      The outrage comes from the fact that the FBI had to literally distribute that kind of content in order to catch people, and it kind of borders on entrapment

        That’s not my understanding of “entrapment”. It needs to coerce somebody into something they otherwise would not do.

        “Making available” illicit material is not coercive.

        Nah fuck that.

        Number 1 - the world exists outside the USA and a lot of those fuckers live there.

        And Number 2 - kiddie fiddlers don’t get rights and if you can get them through entrapment the its just as good as any other means.

    They’ve gotten a number of people operating Tor sites through things like tracing crypto transactions and web hosting mistakes. One example I heard was a site that was hosted in Tor, but the images were hosted on a home server straight over the internet instead of through Tor.

  If someone has a Microsoft defender HE IS the honeypot. MD can just hook into that browser and track them.
