WTF is Jacob Appelbaum (@TorProject) doing on gab.com? Is that an imposter or parody joke? Surely Jake knows that's a instance popular among rt wing nutters.

OTOH, there is that unfortunate parallel between /Assange & US republican ideology.

@resist1984 Yeah, that be a fake account. I doubt Jacob Appelbaum would:

* Make a personal account under the name of the Tor Project; nor
* Have such a high spelling mistake to toot ratio.

@wizzwizz4
Glad to hear it. I can't see the toots or follower list or anything so I couldn't tell.

@resist1984 I can't see the page at all – I had to do some convoluted things to get around my various "I don't want to see any of this" lists in order to check it out.

By the way, the account was last used in 2018.

@resist1984 @TorProject well until we know it's him for sure I won't judge πŸ™‚

If it is that's quite another situation πŸ˜…

@resist1984 Jacob Appelbaum was charged with sexual abuse and this is a topic which is discussed in the film Risk, by Laura Poitras (the same woman who did Snowden's movie, Citizenfour). I think that if you are an abuser it's not that different from being in a right-wing environment, but I really doubt it's him.
