Processing Distortion with Peter B. Collins: Tor’s PR Moves May Violate Law

Peter B. Collins Presents Journalist Yasha Levine

Updating his reports on the Tor encryption system, Yasha Levine of Pando reveals that Tor management has added a staff public relations person and Thomson Communications, a corporate PR firm that has represented the telco Verizon. The assignment appears to be to reshape perceptions of Tor following Pando’s exposure that most Tor funding comes from the State Department and its Broadcast Board of Governors. The taxpayer-funded PR offensive appears to directly violate the law banning attempts to influence public opinion in the US. Levine also comments on the indicted DEA and Secret Service agents accused of using Tor to steal bitcoin in the Silk Road case, and on the recent “dick pic” interview of Ed Snowden by HBO’s John Oliver.

*Yasha Levine is an investigative reporter for Pando.com. He is grateful for the success of his Kickstarter campaign to fund his new book project, Surveillance Valley.
