[tor-talk] Hijacking Advertising to give a Tor Exit node economic sustainability?

["Fabio Pietrosanti (naif)" <lists@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I had an idea last night that:

a) leverage ethical and legal issues
b) could be unfeasible

Could a Tor Exit Node pay itself and eventually generate more revenue to
install other tor server by being self-supported by advertising?

A Tor Exit Node could modify all the advertising that the user see while
web browsing (google adwords, facebook, doubleclick, etc) by injecting
it's own sponsored AD in http flow.

It could even inject 'safety notice' such as to enable https, because
the user it's browsing with clear http.

It could even automatically setup SSL preferencies of twitter, facebook
& other services accounts by making them Default-SSL.

Ok, modifying user traffic it's a tabu', but let's just consider for a
moment how many useful things for the user and for the tor project could
be done.
