And its a picture of a guy with a bandit mask and an AK-47. I don't know about you guys, but all my Tor activities are performed in my Halloween costume!

I honestly can't believe something this tacky would end up in a presentation. Is this supposed to be propaganda?

This presentation seems very odd.

Depressingly, the document talks about plans to make Tor less reliable to dissuade people from using it:

> Could we set up a lot of really slow Tor nodes ... to degrade the quality of the network? > Given CNE access to a web server make it painful for Tor users?

At least the document seems to confirm that GCHQ has a really, really hard time de-anonymising Tor users.

It's a powerpoint, doubtless put together by a middle-manager who thought some clipart would spice things up. Internal presentations at pretty much every company I've worked for have been just as tacky.
