Interestingly, the federal government helps fund Tor, (which is open source from EFF) because they say it allows dissidents to communicate safely,

Thanks, Bill. I’ll ponder this a bit more, and I appreciate your thoughts, as always.

Thanks, BC. I sort of ended up feeling as you expressed. I can’t do the subject justice, so tried to stick with the relevant facts and not get into the awfulness of how such material even exists in the first place.

Yeah, I’m with you. I added something along those lines, but couldn’t figure out a good way to express it.

Has Scott even mentioned the victims & the help they will desperately need, I could agree with you but he didn’t.
As for “human rights” who mentioned them?
Sorry you & Scott DO need to prioritize, the pervs don’t need help, they need punishing & locking away until they die.

Of all the people I’m familiar with via social media, Scott is the last one who needs to re-prioritize. This blog post, as is usual for him, deftly walked the line between snark and human decency.
Of *course* the victims deserve all the help and sympathy they can receive. But Scott’s blog is about Las Vegas, not human rights. I thought his comments were appropriate.
