re: #38 Charles Johnson

From Greenwald’s new article:

This is just completely simplistic and wrong. Your IP address does NOT “certainly” tell anyone your country, state or city. There are tools to look up this information but they are very often incorrect. And this:

…is also just flat wrong. Some IP addresses may help determine physical location, but lots and lots of them don’t, or at best will tell you something so general that they’re not very useful for finding people.

Even if you postulate that the NSA has access to better IP/location databases, this stuff changes constantly, and people who want their locations to be private have many options to mask or obfuscate their IP addresses - for example, the TOR system.

What crap.

But we are not permitted by the powers that be (you) to access this site via TOR, according to policies you’ve expressed over several years. Is that still true?
