Tor protesters call for September 1st shutdown.

https://www.deepdotweb.com/2016/08/24/protesters-calling-tor-blackout-september-1st/

Just throwing the warning out there cause I didn't see it on this subreddit. Im sure the spooks won't be shutting down their exit nodes. Seems like a great opportunity to deanonimize some folks. Or its nothing I don't know. Don't think I'll be using tor for nefarious purposes today myself.

One of the comments on that link:

"Its a farce, used to crash the nodes that are too many for the feds to crash one by one, we go down then the new nodes are ALL CIA HONEYPOTS nice try guys we see you, and by the way no one would protest for sexual assault, this is tor guys, you cannot crash the deep web, at least not so easilly!"

Although it sounds pretty tinfoil hat, it actually makes sense. Who the fuck shuts down TOR nodes with one of the reasons being how a sexual assault case/allegations were handled?

This "protest" is dangerous for users who need tor and doesn't achieve anything but creating drama

I think I will do lots of innocent browsing on tor today to help provide cover for those who really need it. Maybe someone who understands the network better than me knows if this helps?
