Just recently there were arrests made of kiddie porn producers and customers trying to cover their tracks through Tor.

I dumped it after people in the short lived uprising in Iran started to switch to the short lived Haystack Project.

While it was amusing to see ads in Dutch and Korean, I knew about the kiddie porn people using it to hide behind.

I'm more concerned with corporate snooping and tracking, so I'm using Ghostery. It seems to work, a lot of the crap is disappearing.
