This kind of idea, it doesn’t seem terribly radical, I think, in the West. It means that each person without cost would be able to use the system and it would allow them to communicate across boundaries that previously were not something that they could transgress without serious risk. Overall, what I found to be interesting was this idea that not one human should be excepted from the basic human rights, that we, generally, I think, as a world, agree should exist, should be something that is equally accessible to all, regardless of class, race, gender, sexual orientation.īut what does that actually mean? Well, it turns out, for the Tor Project - which is a free software project for freedom, that I and many others work on - what it means is to actually put enabling technology into the hands of each person so that they can choose whether or not they wish to use it.Īnd so, what Roger and Nick and Rachel and other members of the Tor Project - who are incredibly inspirational to me - what they were able to show me was that by making it free software, this means that each person would be able to inspect the software - should they wish - or to delegate that task to someone who understands that.
They introduced me to the philosophy but also to the technology.Īnd the technology was very fascinating to me. This idea that it should be available to each person. This idea that every person has the right to speak freely, the right to read without exception.
And they told me about this idea, this idea of anonymity. 18 minutes isn’t really a lot of time to sum up a decade of work, but, I’ll try.Īnd I’ll start by saying that I met Roger Dingledine, Rachel Greenstadt and Nick Mathewson at a Hacker Convention in Las Vegas. And I wanted to tell about my story and how I came to work in anonymity. It’s a great pleasure to be here and I’m really excited, actually, to see so many familiar faces.
