My understanding is there was exactly one US confiscation of TOR servers, ever. When the FBI knocked, metaphorically, at Carnegie Mellon's door, just saying "It's a TOR server" was all they needed. Didn't even need to explain TOR. I am told the Pittsburgh FBI are unusually clued. Yet I fear I'm not seeing your point. How is kiddie porn linked to DNT? Are you imagining someone would enable DNT but not TOR? I'm not getting the relevance to your anecdote. Could we (plural) dial down the heat a touch, too, please? Aleecia
