SR 2.0=FBI honeypot
SR 3.0=FBI honeypot
SR 4.0=FBI honeypot
Doubtful.
And still, just use vendors recommended by others and PGP!
Recommended by other FBI agents, and PGP that FBI agents provide or substitute their own public keys for?
The server(s) were physically seized, so totalitarians could easily take over SR operations and change anything about it to tyranny's advantage.
You just need to trust the vendor. That's how PGP works.
And the FBI will hardly sell you drugs... they are not a dealer and not after small consumers.
PGP doesn't work if you blindly trust keys stored/sent on a website that a malicious third-party controls. PGP only works if you physically meet your counterparty and trust circle members and obtain their key fingerprints directly from them.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Key_signing_partyThe FBI/DEA/WTF will sell whatever they need to to whomever they need to, to perpetuate the war on victimless civil liberties through persecution of same.
Seriously, how can you be this ignorant of lawless enforcement tactics and still be on the internet?
If LE changed the key, the vendor couldn't decrypt your message any more.
Not if they changed the key the instant the vendor put it in, intercepted and replied to all their private messages, and showed only the vendor a profile page with their correct key.
And neither the FBI nor the DEA will set up a "honey pot" to catch individual end-consumers.
They already did that with Silk Road 1.0. Find end-consumers, charge them with every victimless crime in the book.
