And these are old news: http://yro.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=06/08/23/1329220<BR/><BR/>Google has already given up to the brazilian authorities and is now cooperating with them to disclose informations required. And even the Department of Justice may delete every profile/community they want on Orkut (they have full clearance to do that), which is the most visited site here, but unfortunately, it's the worst, common boards like Wilders are much better.<BR/><BR/>I was talking about US (and now Brazil, Germany) since fishing expeditions, not allowed under T.O.S. from XeroBank, are very common these days. They may elaborate some excuse to just disclose informations from people who have not commited any crimes, like pedophiles and thieves. And they may say that everyone who doesn't agree to disclose informations and destroy everyone's privacy is obstructing justice *.<BR/><BR/>* http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perverting_the_course_of_justice<BR/><BR/>Sad times.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7076660043801219901.post-65331930539790959542007-07-29T22:06:00.000-05:002007-07-29T22:06:00.000-05:00It is more advanced than ever. The problem is the ...It is more advanced than ever. The problem is the ratio of Tor users to Tor resources. Since xB Browser came out it has over 4 million users for just a thousand or so Tor nodes. This results in people complaining "It is slow, what can you do?" so we created the private high-speed xerobank anonymity network. It costs to get access to it, but is totally uncluttered and the fastest anonymity network out there. Our resource consumption is typically <1% at any time, while Tor is constantly overloaded or unable to satisfy requests.Steve Topletzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12085179930497813134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7076660043801219901.post-88429291855875889942007-07-29T21:51:00.000-05:002007-07-29T21:51:00.000-05:00It doesn't work so well as torpark did, it's my op...It doesn't work so well as torpark did, it's my opinion.Wahsse Fühdehrhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10423911881387677839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7076660043801219901.post-5183578084439790782007-07-29T21:16:00.000-05:002007-07-29T21:16:00.000-05:00Torpark is called xB Browser now.
