First things first: The Missing Link!

Dmitry Bogatov (maintainer for several Debian packages and a TOR exit node) was arrested in Moscow, accused of endorsing violence and mayhem. The Debian project reacted by - besides giving their moral support - revoking access rights based on his private key as a precaution, in case the key gets compromised.

    It's still "Tor", not "TOR".

    You are absolutely right. There's no arguing with that.

    I also salute Tor for making freedom possible in many situations where it would not have previously been, and Bogatov for helping in the effort.
