Shari Steele is resigning her position as the director of the Tor Project, according to a report by Cyberscoop. Steele will remain director through December 31st, and the search for her replacement is still underway.

[...] For many, Steele's directorship, which started in December 2015, signaled a sea change within the organization and shifted Tor towards being more inclusive and community focused.

[...] "I had intended to retire after my time with EFF, but I believed strongly in the Tor Project's mission, and I felt I could help," Steele wrote in a blog post after the news broke. "I look at the Tor Project organization today and feel quite confident that we've got the talent and the structure to continue to support the organization's great work."

    Cute. That has about as much as relevance as the draft [wikipedia.org] does today.

    Ok, the point I was trying to make is that when you pay your Spooks to break encryption which may be used by an 'enemy' you don't exactly then expect them to then close the holes they've used to do so by pointing these out to the writers/inventors of the encryption mechanism..

    If you want privacy and security, the U.S. government is your enemy, even if you are an American citizen. Possessing "irresponsible encryption" [soylentnews.org] is soon to be a terroristic act.

    Oh, a given, as far as any Government is concerned, not just the USian one.
    Anyone not part of the 'unthinking masses' is the enemy, or potentially so, for any Government of any political colour anywhere on this dirtball...actually even the 'unthinking masses' are also the enemy, but a lower priority one and far easier to control (techniques developed over millennia of practice).
    That's why I threw in the 'joke' Bletchley Park reference, this is not a new problem, 'They' are at war with 'us' and have been for centuries, even when they're stage directing the attentions of the 'unthinking masses' to whatever the external-enemy-de-jour is, they're still keeping a close(r) eye on 'us'.
