Well, yes.But you should be a little happier with the situation. You see people like us are people who realize this. Most of the people who read this forum are the kind of people who've taken or are taking steps to protect themselves. It's everybody else who is fucked.During world war 2 the allies bombed buildings that contained useful data in census records about ethnicity. Saved the lives of countless Jews and other dissidents against the fascist state.Today, nothing so ironically humanitarian as a huge bomb could be used to achieve the same end. Future wars will be absolutely vicious, genocide can be achieved with an efficiency that the German machine could not hope to accomplish. As much as the average civilian imagines SR and the Darknet to be disreputable, the fact of the matter is that things like Tor could be the only thing standing between freedom and oblivion for western liberalism. That may sound dramatic but I don't believe it really is. I actually believe that Tor is used, net balance, for the wrong reasons (clearly I don't mean SR, it is that by a long shot, the most visited links in the Darknet are those for child pornography, I don't believe they're a majority, but that they are the most frequent users is very likely), but that in the longer term it will serve a much greater humanitarian function, in the same sense as the purpose as NATO's Operation Gladio, only that it will actually work far better. Defense subtracts from the economy every year, but when you need it, you really really need it. People don't like Operation Condor or Gladio, but frankly the collateral damage was a drop in the bucket vs the potential harm posed by Communism and repeatedly demonstrated again and again. It's a fact that many people in some districts turned to cannibalism in Cambodia, Soviet Russian and Maoist China, yet the McCarthyism and ills that attended such paranoia seem to get more airtime.There is an awful lot of pressure on Roger Dingledine and the other Tor developers to get it right, and outside of a small series of communities they get little succor for it. Tor is far more important that any social networking site like Facebook or Twitter. When they write the history books, I think it more likely Tor will get a chapter and Facebook will get nary a mention. It's the software equivalent of an invisibility cloak and with an age of ubiquitous surveillance I don't think markets and democracy could go underground in the same way as they did in the 20th century in many states. Future wars will be all about information and You Do Not Want the other side's hackers to get to your people. Knowing encryption isn't just about a handy way to obtain drugs, it could be the key to your survival.tldr; Run or fund more Tor nodes.
