A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I heard of a guy who went to prison because he bought something from Allegro (Polish Amazon) over TOR. Someone used the same exit node for hacking, so they pinned it on him.

What country? Sounds like a kangaroo court or a court staffed entirely by old people.

Poland.

He could've easily got it solved but he didn't have money and the public defender just told him confessing was the best option.

It might be a legend, it's just a thing that supposedly happened to someone in a community I participate in.
