"Free Software Foundation",
"In July, Kilton Library in Lebanon, New Hampshire set up a relay server in
the Tor network, which lets Internet users surf the Web anonymously. Tor is
relied on every day by whistleblowers, journalists, and dissidents in
oppressive regimes, and each relay makes the network stronger. This was the
first time a library had set up a relay, and the FSF was excited to see a
public institution participating.

However, things took a turn for the worse this month when the US
government's Department of Homeland Security and local law enforcement
intimidated the library into shutting down the relay (also known as a
node). In response, the FSF, the ACLU of Massachusetts, the Electronic
Frontier Foundation, the Freedom of the Press Foundation, and others signed
a public letter

supporting the library and its Tor initiative. Even more importantly, local
patrons of Kilton Library crammed a public hearing yesterday to express
their conviction that the relay should be reactivated. The campaign worked
and, as of Thursday September 16th, the relay is running again."


I have never been a fan of 1939-1945.
