Comment (by cypherpunks):

 > You just do not get Free Open Source Software, do you? Users own the
 right to edit the software as they please. Tor Project has no ability to
 control what sites people can host and access. Relay operators have no
 ability to either. This is permanently baked into the design.

 Free software has always been political. Yes, Nazis would just remove the
 code but then a racist have to hit keep hitting reload until they reach a
 nazi-run tor router that removed that code. It might not 100% stop them in
 their tracks but I support anything that makes life harder for them and
 puts resistance in their way.

 Many other projects like EFF and guardian project have agreed with the tor
 post about this violent speech being unacceptable. What changes do you
 propose to limit it? or are you simply here to defend fascism?
