Re: [tor-talk] the privacy of public tor descriptor data (was: German University signs up 24 tor relays)

Obviously they're just members of the patriarchy who want to harass women
on the internet, they just need to listen and believe this woman's

ever do anything immoral. The tor network should be a save space for all

equity, and be respectful of a diversity of opinions on privacy and
technology.
