Greetings, After watching C3's summer camp "What's the Catch?", I couldn't help but think of at least one potential solution to help alleviate the insecurity behind the questions about Tor and government/corporate funding; with one of those questions being: "will you [the Tor project] betray our [Tor users] trust?"
One possible solution that popped into my head: Why not intentionally record every meeting session and instance of correspondence between the Tor project and all persons/groups that the Tor project takes funding from - and make them publicly available? What I mean is; all-out transparency: emails, chats, video-recorded in-person meetings and basically as much as possible with whatever resources are available. The concept of transparency (as a means to improve the overall well-being of this kind of organization) seems within the parameters of the Tor project's mission statement though the question of privacy and protecting a funder's identity also comes into play but I think that is easily resolved since someone can use Tor for correspondence to remain anonymous while donating if they wish to do so. Does this seem like a plausible solution? -- tor-talk mailing list - [email protected] To unsubscribe or change other settings go to https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
