I understand that the quoted message was published on Tormail site at http://jhiwjjlqpyawmpjx.onion/ at the time (don't see any evidence to the contrary). In the message, Tormail admins say that they moved to a Russian registrar due to a perceived threat of domain seizures in the US. This shows serious lack of judgement, and impulsive behavior. The “American” qualifier is only a guess of mine, based on the US-centric view and behavior above (i.e., US-centric ideology-specific news → US is perceived as “bad” → countries the person are ignorant of must be “good”). In any case, this doesn't really matter — my point was that the idea that Tormail is managed by any competent intelligence agency is ridiculous, since they wouldn't disrupt the service in a way that would risk fleeing userbase as a consequence. -- Maxim Kammerer Liberté Linux: http://dee.su/liberte _______________________________________________ tor-talk mailing list tor-talk@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
