    Library Suspends Tor Node After DHS Intimidation (EFF DeepLinks)

    The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) is running a story on its DeepLinks blog that the Kilton Public Library in Lebanon, New Hampshire has suspended its Tor node deployment—at least temporarily—due to criticism by the local police department (we covered the launch of the Kilton library's Tor node in August). The EFF post says that the criticism originated when "a regional Department of Homeland Security office contacted the local police to spread fear, uncertainty, and doubt about Tor. The police got in touch with the library board, who suspended the program until they could vote on it on September 15." The EFF has set up a page at which interested parties can sign a petition showing support for the library, and has written its own letter of support to the Lebanon library board. The Library Freedom Project, which is handling the details of running Kilton's Tor node, has also written about the incident and promises further updates after the library board meeting.
