Finally, Europeans get back their freedom. /s
The United States already funds the Tor Project, but despite this looking similar at first blush, it’s far more centralized and thus easier to surveil anybody who uses it.
Portal team includes former DOGE member Coristine
Aka Edward Coristine, aka “Big Balls”, aka the guy who helped compromise your social security number, aka the reason the US put stormtroopers into DC.
In a world with tightly regulated Internet this might start making sense. Tor and its traffic won’t make it through AI-assisted censorship systems like China’s GFW and Russia’s whatever-it’s-called-but-they’ve-started-breaking-everything-here. While a portal managed by foreign superpower’s government might be allowed simply because of diplomatic pressure.
Not too different from how radio became regulated all over the world.
It’s a shame, but what can you do. We are not demiurges, we are grains of sand flying with the wind and floating with the current. Sometimes we get melted, sometimes split, sometimes wet, cold, hot.
I’m not ashamed of dreaming of a different future and arguing in favor of it many years ago. But I’m also not ashamed to admit I was likely wrong.
I’m not sure I follow your logic. If countries are getting more authoritarian and nationalistic, and China is already blocking Tor, why would they feel compelled to not block something that even more blatantly a nationalistic American project?
so Europe just needs to ban that single domain? That’s easy :)
Done.
If they’d decided to use truth.gov as the domain, that would have been the cherry on top. 😄
A ludicrous “plan”.
A Trump controlled VPN service, seems safe.

Adding this shit to my Adguard Home blacklist.
Cool, gotta get that Nazi propaganda into the countries smart enough to ban that shit, wouldn’t want people to think there was any sense left in the white house.
