Am I paranoid or merely careful to wonder if any of these anonymizer services are being set up and run by government agencies? Do I know any of the people behind the-cloak.com? SamSpade.org tells me that the domain is owned by Walther Schmidt of CTE Ltd., which appears to be registered somewhere in Antigua and Barbuda. Who is this? Why should I trust him? Also, the site's FAQ says: "For your safety, you should assume that we will turn over log file entries if we are presented with a court order, subpoena, warrant, or other legal demand originating from a non-totalitatarian government entity." It sounds like this is a site to use just for "casual" anonymizing. Posted by: Martin on December 17, 2002 05:37 AM
Nice work, Martin. Do you know of any anonymizing services for the "serious"? Have you researched Anonymizer.com? Thanks. LS Posted by: LoneStranger on December 21, 2002 07:51 PM
