Huh? Syria went from ca. 1e+3 in late June 2013 to over 4e+3, initially a spike in early July, and then plateauing in early August. That's hardly a few percent. It's a factor of four. And that's plainly obvious from the Tor metrics site: https://metrics.torproject.org/users.html?graph=direct-users&start=2013-01-01&end=2013-09-03&country=sy&events=off#direct-users https://metrics.torproject.org/users.html?graph=direct-users&start=2013-07-01&end=2013-09-03&country=sy&events=off#direct-users https://metrics.torproject.org/users.html?graph=userstats-relay-country&start=2013-01-01&end=2013-09-04&country=sy#userstats-relay-country https://metrics.torproject.org/users.html?graph=userstats-relay-country&start=2013-07-01&end=2013-09-04&country=sy#userstats-relay-country > Seems like the start of a dangerous rumor. It's just an observation. And for what it's worth, you're the one who initially posted a derived chart for Syria, which just happened to average out the changes in July and early August. -- tor-talk mailing list - [email protected] To unsusbscribe or change other settings go to https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
