Big drama today in the #Tor community.
Conrad Rockenhaus, a Tor operator based out of Michigan, United States, was arrested in 2020 after refusing to cooperate with the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation
Rockenhaus, a disabled United States military veteran, ran the fastest Tor node in the United States. He was approached sometime in late 2019 when the FBI requested he allow them arbitrary access to his exit node and allow them to decrypt traffic. He denied their request.
Subsequently, in February, 2020 his home was raided. He was arrested for violating the CFAA (Computer Fraud and Abuse Act). It was alleged that he was a disgruntled ex-employee causing problems at his former place of employment.
Interestingly, to "help resolve the matter", law enforcement requested he decrypt his Tor exit node to prove his innocence (???). After he refused, he was held in a pre-trial detention cell for over 3 years. He was denied bail after law enforcement stated Mr. Rockenhaus used Linux to "access the dark web" and he was "not complying" and not allowing them access to this Tor exit node.
After Mr. Rockenhaus' wife filed an official complaint, and Mr. Rockenhaus was miraculously released, he was raided by the United States Marshal Fugitive Task Force TWO TIMES(???).
They took him out his home, threw him to the ground, beat him, smashed his windows, and threatened to murder his animals.
They are still requesting Mr. Rockenhaus allow them to access his Tor exit node. Mr. Rockenhaus still has not granted them that privilege.
All of this has been captured on home security camera footage. Additionally, his wife has released all court documents.

NOTE: Nerds found more court documents. Mr. Rockenhaus did violate the CFAA in 2014.
tl;dr fbi requested decrypt, he says no, but it turns out he did do something wrong (maybe?). did fbi have card up their sleeve? or is this unrelated? is anime good?

Australia to implement a FULL-BLOWN government digital ID!
Covid was a test.
This will be the real show.
Then everyone will have a social credit score and the country will turn into a live data farm.

The Zionists deliberately target families fleeing Gaza City to so called 'safe zones' that are overcrowded kill pens - designed to enable the 'final solution'. If we don't all act now and collectively, Palestine is over. Enough with the 'real politik' BS - be on the right side of history and be remembered for your failure to prevent the slaughter of a whole people, not only in Palestine but across the region and beyond.
