Given that all communication is encrypted by virtue of the Tor network, you almost start wondering why the Hell people are so aggressive about using PGP. It's so that the operators of the SR site (or LE if they find the server, or some random janitor who wanders in, whatever) can't access the information.It isn't just the intentions of a person that you're talking about trusting, it's also the skill, knowledge, and caution of that person. Any clearweb site is easily under LE jurisdiction if it isn't in some non-extradition country. The US gov't doesn't play nice, either, as I'm sure everybody knows by now: not wanting to cooperate with them isn't enough to keep your users safe.Personally I won't even communicate about drugs or orders without PGP encryption -- these forums obviously being the exception. In short, I don't trust SR partly because I don't trust that the server will never fall into anyone else's hands. Basically the only people I trust are the gpg developers, but only in the same way I trust the manufacturer of my car -- I mean unless I'm going to make the thing myself, I kind of have to put some trust in them, ya know. But sites already exist that handle encryption if you just don't want to have anything to do with it. Not sure what you're talking about providing that isn't already out there, to be honest (a browser plugin aside, obviously).
