Similar Stories to Can You Really Be Identified On Tor Or Is That Just What The Cops Want You To Believe? on Bing News

Have the UK police successfully broken anonymity on the internet? They certainly seemed to imply as much when the National Crime Agency proudly announced last week that it had made 660 arrests after an operation to identify people viewing indecent images of children online. The announcement raises questions about just how anonymous it is possible to be online, particularly in the dark net and through systems like Tor, which is used by criminals, but also many others with legitimate reasons for wanting to remain anonymous such as journalists, whistleblowers, and political activists under repressive regimes. We should also treat the NCA bust with some scepticism, given its very convenient political timing. Operation Notarize When the National Crime Agency made its big announcement about Operation Notarise, it was obviously good news.
