    And what would that word be, exactly? How will it change the fact that US feds can’t seize servers which exist outside the US?

      Because the feds NEVER act out of their jurisdiction, RIGHT?

        It describes a North Carolina server hosting a Tor hidden service site. The setup was seized in February 2015

        A North Carolinian server. I think that’s in America, right?

        to monitor its nearly 215,000 users.

        How many were actually busted? Isn’t that just the amount of traffic? Busting 215 000 pedophiles would’ve definitely made the news…

        Currently, at least three men—Peter Ferrell, Alex Schreiber, and James Paroline—have been charged in connection with this site.

        Three Americans? Good job, feds, but that doesn’t exactly disprove my point about the feds’ limited (if sizable) reach.

        she said the FBI may have used a honeypot technique that feeds site visitors a link to a webpage outside of To

        So to people who open non-tor links from tor are vulnerable? That’s not exactly news.

        Tor isn’t a magical shield that makes everything cop-proof, but feds definitely don’t have power over it the way you seem to imply they do.

    Having the ability to monitor Google and Yahoo datacenters still doesn’t mean that US feds can do anything about servers not located in the US.

    They can’t physically go to another country do to cop shit. I don’t know how to say it more simply.
