Tor Browser 7.5.5 is released

Tragic.

Amazon's biggest customer is CIA, as some of us tried to warn over the past two years, so TP should have foreseen the demise of domain-fronting. You were so warned.

Please, TP, don't make the same mistake again by trusting the companies (such as Google) which are salivating over the prospect of becoming a permanent member of the US Surveillance-Industrial complex.

TP must find sources of funding other than USG or their public-private partners (BBG) and "benign" sponsorships such as "Google Summer of Code" from companies like Google.

If TP cannot look to "benign" USG agencies (like RFA) or "benign" multinational corporate partners of USG (like Google)--- because Yasha Levine is correct when he argues that there is no such thing as a "benign" partner of a government which seeks global hegemony--- who does that leave? Ordinary people.

This is why it is so worrisome that:

o the new TP ED has said nothing about whether she intends to continue Shari's attempts to move TP funding to a user-funded model similar to EFF,

o the long overdue TP financials have *still* not been posted, with no explanation of the hangup or any firm deadlines being offered.

And what about the PKI cert issue for this very blog? What's up with that?
