The Tails project announced the release of version 2.12 of the operating system which focuses on "privacy and anonymity."

The new version includes Gnome Sound Recorder, removes I2P, runs on version 4.9.13 of the Linux kernel, and as per usual remedies "numerous security holes" in the previous release. Distro Watch has additional coverage.

    So they really are not serious about security.

    Previously they'd offered both Tor and I2P; with this change (explained in the previous story) Tor is the only anonymising proxy on offer in Tails. Are you suggesting that Tor is notably less secure than I2P? If so, why? If not, what do you mean?

      There are some hints in that direction.
