Alleged NSA Takeover section is naive

So while the nsa takeover section sounds like bullshit to me (I have no proof (or suspicion) that the NSA pwnz twrr) the section sounds naive as fuck and Matthew Green, noted cryptonut, disagrees, quoting George Danezis's blogpost.

The following points also make me cringe:

• "One must consider that the NSA would have a finite amount of Bandwidth" LOL have you seen their budget? Plus it's well known that they intercept traffic from most undersea cables in the world and much more.
• "(The NSA) ould only be allowed to host such things in the United States." Utterly misleading. Besides friendly countries letting them install whatever the fuck they'd like (especially in five eyes countries), they have dedicated sections devoted to breaking into ISP/VPN routers and a multimillion dollar budget simply for bribes.
• "the likely-hood of the NSA spying on the users is little to none" except that the NSA's motto is "collect it all".

The default settings for .torrc are also strange. Tails doesn't block five eyes nor does it only allow entry through germany and exit through russia.

Both sections should be deleted imo. Mrsnooze (talk) 08:49, 17 February 2016 (EST)
