Cyberpoetry: Peelingtheonion

Tor, the free software enabling anonymous communication, if you want to hide from network surveillance, traffic analysis, or identity verification. Instant messaging, online forums, or the darkest deepest post, personal privacy and freedoms ambiguity are obscured by anonymous host. Technical and legal questions surrounds Internet anonymity, encryption, hidden services, international crime fighting abilities. The history of onion routing and the ability to anonymize, dates back to mathematicians and computer scientists’ theorizing. Criminal enterprises, law enforcement, and hacktivism groups, are involved in the primordial anonymous soup. But being invisible on Tor is not guaranteed, something journalist, human rights workers, and whistle blowers need. If you remember SilkRoad then you know the police is dominant, they monitor bank fraud, money laundering and illegal sexual content. Tor aims to conceal the identity for the ordinary person, but of course it has been used for violent cohersions.
