First it was the thread on the NSA illegal spying program, which I know must have been deleted by a mod because the OP reposted it and then it was deleted again. Then it was the thread on how to anonymize and encrypt telephone calls. Now it is the thread on Tor versus the NSA. None of these threads have been controversial at all, and no explanation has been given as to why they were mysteriously deleted. Are we not supposed to talk about the capabilities of the NSA? Are we not supposed to talk about how to secure telecommunications? I would like to know the general reasoning why these threads are being deleted, because I am sick of investing time in writing posts only to see them vanish without any explanation.
