I agree with Cecilia on this.

These are serious allegations but,
Allegations are not equal to Convictions.

Should this man not have the right to a fair trial?

The tor project is not about throwing someones rights out the window.

We all have opinions and are free to share them , but it is irresponsible
to publicly defame and bash someone without that person having the
chance to defend themselves in a court of law, no matter how much of a
prick they are.

If there was wrong doing and if Jacob is guilty or not is for a court to
determine.

If you like him or not has nothing to do with his possible guilt or
innocence.

Let us be fair.

Some of my personal friends hate Jacob. Jake is not my best friend, we are not really close, but yes, he is my friend and my heart is with him in this moment, because I already know Jake enough to have absolute conviction that
something is terribly "strange" and doesn't sound like "true".

I respect Shari Steele and her work. I respect Tor Project core team and voluntary collaborators in whole world. We all want a better world for
everybody and each one of us work hard for it.  Maybe with different
personal beliefs, with different backgrounds, life histories and areas of
work, but we want a better world, less unfair and sad.

Sorry, it is *not* correct at all to judge a person without defense, in a coward and cruel way. It's pretty disgusting and unfair. It's brutal.

Really sorry if my personal convictions offend someone here, but I know how
easy is to destroy a reputation, years of hard work, a whole life...

Nobody deserves to be hurted and humiliated until losing the faith in
humanity and in Justice. We saw it happening several times before. Human
History is full of sad examples.

Please, be careful before accusing someone. Every single person in this
world deserves respect and has own value.

With tears and sincere and deep hope,

Cecilia


I agree. There isn't proof (yet at least) that he did anything wrong. I agree that like everyone else he should have the right to a fair trial. Your correct the tor project shouldn't and I also believe wouldn't attempt to censor speech (considering that they develop an online anonymity and anti-censorship tool). I also agree that due to many (not all) people's lack of ability to read everything before making up their mind it makes it all the more easier to harm someone's reputation. There might be people who were actually hurt but we don't know if it's true yet.
