Substitute “privately” into my original tweet, the irony is still strong with that one ;)https://twitter.com/MacLemon/status/689520010423836673 …
@MacLemon Of course. To inform them of the danger, however, is up to us. At the very least we shouldn’t aid their PR.

@aral I dare to slightly disagree. Others block tor entirely, exposing and endangering their users. Like Twitter regularly blocks Tor users. -
@MacLemon Bad and Worse. There is no good here is what I’m saying. -
@aral You consider providing onion services bad? Disregarding who is providing them for the moment. As I said, this is not about facebook. -
@MacLemon NSA announces that it will be providing onion services. We good with that? -
@aral You're arguing that we should ban x, because _some_ bad people use x as well. -
@MacLemon Huh? :) No, I’m criticising Facebook being praised on privacy :) -
@aral If Twitter (a service which we both use) would start providing an onion service, would you still be against it? -
@MacLemon *sigh* I’d be against them using it as PR to whitewash the lack of privacy in their business model. Yes. Every time. - 9 more replies

@aral To be honest, I had expected you to be in favour of onion services. Other companies should definitely support that as well. -
@MacLemon I am. What I’m not in favour of is falling for Facebook PR :) -
@aral Care to explain what is bad about onion services and why from your point of view? -
@MacLemon Not what I said so won’t defend that straw man. What I’m criticising is Facebook receiving positive PR for privacy.
