Hmm don't you have to pay to access the full newspaper? How does that mix with Tor anonymity?
The paywall exists on the NYT's onion site as well. But a certain number of articles -- I think 10 -- are free to read each month.

Its not secure. "Everyone" knows that. Everytime a drug market is taken down or a pedophile ring is busted, the investigators from FBI always claim it was some dubious mistake from the admin whic lead to it. But we all know they have discovered a vulnurability in the TOR protocol but won't disclose it. Safe browsing guys //edit: if you want extra security. Launch TOR from a remote desktop. And I am not talking about…
I guess I'm not everyone. I'd bet that the majority of the 'busts' are due to: a) Infiltrating chats where people are more likely to share sensitive information / trust the people they're talking to b) Poor configurations/ setups on either the client or server (client browser bundle has noscript, but it's not on the strictest settings, js is enabled iirc) c) Exploitation of client or server due to out of date version…
^ This.
Remember, Silk Road was finally found and taken down because Ross Ulbrich messed up his OpSec on a Stack Overflow question.

There you login like normal. Tor can be used to hide from the website owners, and from the network owners between you and the website. If you don't mind that the website knows who you are, you login and identify yourself to them, without letting the network know what you do.

#34This may not be the whole solution but it is a step in the right direction. Kudos to NYT for attention to this subset of readers.
It is. Overlay networks has a very expensive overhead, but it is one of the few ways that networks can be updated to modern views on security threats and privacy without getting ISP to change their hardware and software. I am in particular hopeful that we might see a future where tor will simply be a available tool in the general network stack, enabling private end-to-end without exist nodes.

#35Ah, so disagreement with an administration is what will make everyone eventually to TOR
Nothing to hide except when the wrong guy gets in power then you feel naked

#36The url is a bit hard to remember. https://www.nytimes3xbfgragh.onion/ Is there a directory of .onion sites? (with an easy .onion url)
There are no “easy” onion URLs. They are essentially random (hash of a key iirc). It’s possible to generate random URLs until you get a prefix you like, but the time it takes increases exponentially with length of the desired prefix.

Extended Validation certificate is when a company go to a CA and provide a bunch of business documents and legal proof that they really own the company behind a name. Its not a technical aspect but human lawyer human lawyer that establish a certificate. At the end if the validation is successful, the company get a technical signed document that in browsers shows up as a green lock and the name in green next to the UR…
So in addition to knowing that your browser is connected to where you want, you now know that the website you want is actually who they say they are?
Exactly

I recall that Facebook brute forced their way into having an onion url that was easy to remember, by generating millions of them and then picking one that was simple.
