One of the ops I'm in convo with on twitter (DMs)

Me: "Two big complaints I see in re Tor is lack of further development
like  Chaff packets an Mixing etc and the fact that many of the entrance
and  exit nodes seem to be controlled by govt types The former
ameliorates  but doesn't entirely eliminate the latter issue which is
unavoidable My  take is anyone stifling the development of further
obfuscation  techniques is suspect"


The other: "Yes. That was the point of the internal critique that Jacob
and a few others were pursuing. Too much attention on improving the user
experience for a flawed set of protocols."

Me: "Jake was taxing them about flawed protocol? Really!"

The other: "No, no directly - he was saying that protocol hardening is
what as needed, but the USG funders want browser improvements. UX over
substance.
