Users are not stakeholders, except that they act as stakeholders. Passive/ tacit/ blind acceptance, is a sheep to be shorn by the stakeholders. Your implied position I agree with though - that users -should- be treated as stakeholders. In the "consumer" paradigm, "the power of the purse" (i.e., don't buy something) is the "user"s veto power. With Tor, I2P is not a viable competitor for the average user, so the average user sheeple cannot "opt out" if he wants to say write a book about the dark web or investigate some naughty behaviour by big corp. > offered any input on single or total Board swapouts, > key positions, as with other supposedly public corps. > Secrecy and exclusion in some meetups, groups. > Censoring some list topics that were valid. > > Adversaries don't care, only how they can twist > things to advantage. > > > Here's one to sort any truth or not from... > > https://zigforums.com/thread/1012230/technology/tor-project-cia-mossad.html > > "Julian Martin writes: > Here's a short list of what's wrong with the Tor Project > - A person at the Tor Project hired (or wanted to hire) a (former) CIA > person without notifying it's fellow Tor Project employees[1][2] > - Shari Steele's husband Bill Vass worked for the NSA[3] and now works > for Amazon Web Services > - Rob Thomas a Rabbi is listed as a Tor Project team member (red flags for > me!) > - They don't mind child porn, drugs, murderers for hire, but White > Nationalism (fuck the DailyStormer though) has to be officially and > publicly denounced[4]. > - It has been infiltrated by SJWs > > Here's a short list of what's wrong with Tor Browser > - Javascript is enabled by default > - Javascript is re-enabled each time you restart the browser > - They let user be fingerprinted because "it breaks some MAC OS > keyboard shortcuts" [5][6] > > [1]: > ibtimes.co.uk/leaked-tor-project-chat-logs-reveal-it-struggled-over-hiring-ex-cia-agent-1567591 > [2]: pastebin.com/WPAmqkW8 > [3]: bvass.wordpress.com/tag/nsa/ > [4]: twitter.com/torproject/status/898256109789687808 > [5]: > gitweb.torproject.org/tor-browser.git/tree/toolkit/components/resistfingerprinting/nsRFPService.h > [6]: trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/26146 > > I'm still using it because it gives me a false sense of security.
