Thank you for all your awesome comments and encouragement, folks. I could not have imagined a better way to start the new era of the Juice Media, or to end 2015. <3 Giordano

Hello friends. Thank you for your patience: here's a little video for while you await new content on The Juice Media. Unlike you, George Orwell became highly impatient with the hiatus on the channel, so he made me upload this special announcement about the Internet and your online rights... which he wants you all to heed very carefully.

(NB. Despite being a 'spin-off', this is _not_ a RAP NEWS video! Apologies in advance to anyone who may feel bitterly, even mortally disappointed by that. Despite this, I hope you find the video promising of things to come on the channel. I am eager to hear what you think - so please let me know your thoughts and feedback. If enough peeps don't hate on this, I might make more of these in 2016...)

Speaking of 2016, my best wishes to all you fellow Juicers for a healthy and fulfilling new year! <3

I think I should respond to a number of comments here saying 'Tor is a navy project', 'can it be trusted?' etc. *(Please upvote this so that people with similar concerns can read this)*

Much of this is based on misunderstandings. 
Here's the deal: while onion routing technology was a navy project, Tor was never a navy project. Roger Dingledine (Tor's Director) wrote Tor originally, and it's been open source since almost the very beginning.



So, if you think there might be a conspiracy to try to trick the world into using a weak anonymity system, then you also need to believe that all the respected academic security researchers, from countries all around the world, are in on it too. That's what it comes down to!

That being said: Tor isn't a silver bullet to keep you safe in all situations against
all attacks. But it IS the best design we (the world) have against large adversaries (like governments).

As Edward Snowden (who worked _at_ the NSA) recently said in an interview: "I think Tor is the most important privacy-enhancing technology project being used today. I use Tor personally all the time... That’s not to say that Tor is bulletproof. What Tor does is it provides a measure of security..."

Think about it this way: We wear seatbelts in cars and helmets on bikes, not because they are bulletproof solutions to road accidents, but because they offer an increased measure of security in road accidents.

The one crucial difference is that, with encryption, the more people use it, the more effective it becomes. It is far harder for the NSA to de-anonymize a Tor user if there are millions of more exit nodes to monitor. And the same principle applies to other strong crypto tools: Strength in numbers. Hence, George Torwell' advice to run Tor in RN15: ("even if you don't use it, run it so the network's force swells").

I hope this helps to clarify this point, and would encourage peeps to research this more before claiming that Tor is an NSA honey-pot. Claims like these, unless founded (and referenced!) are unhelpful, as they can do a lot of damage to the valuable work of people who are working hard to protect our online rights and freedoms. Unless of course your mission *happens to BE* trying to undermine the work and damage the reputation of people who are working hard to protect our online rights and freedoms ;)

My favourite Author of all time has come to thejuicemedia to share his wisdom :P I love the way you made this guys, I've downloaded tor and signal right now. Thank you for supporting free speech!

[PunkOnARant]

George Orwell is a true hero! He exposed the double speak nature of power, he fought the fascists in Spain and he left a legacy that will always be true to the struggles of common people everywhere, to never trust absolute power in the hands of a few.

[MrDeadJasper]

I am so happy to see you guys again !
Bravo!!!

[jimcognition]

Sweet! happy to see you in my feed again

[nrdy]

Wait what.. George Orwell just called me a noob? Fuck, that's kinda awesome xD

[punkleruckus]

I gotta say, I was skeptical at first of the new format and how well it could keep my interest, but WOW!!! Giordano has really done an EXCELLENT job of it here. Thank you, sir for keeping it going and coming out with such an awesome video with amazing content. Keep it coming.

[DanielJoaquinTrujillo]

yes! thank you Giordano and everyone at Juice Media for keeping it going. I've been an advocate of Signal since it was TextSecure. I'm glad to see someone with more of a widespread reach telling the masses.
Thank you Juice Media.

[FunTrails]

Was so sad to hear rap news would be no longer, but so excited new content is still being produced, and at the same caliber as before!

[bogdanmsilaghi]

Thank you! finally something, been waiting on this like a breath of fresh air. now let's share this !

[chaukeedaar]

Loving it, Giordano! Intellectually as good as before, thanks!

[Kenckaplus]

I was delightedly surprised by seeing this channel supporting Signal.
Don't worry people. It's a nonprofit and the software really is secure.
They have an EFF activist and a legendary hacker in their team.

[mathiasquackenbush]

The Juice lives! So excited to see what's coming!

[justingomez]

great work...I've been waiting forever!

[madskillsgamer]

This is still good after all these years, truly timeless... And more relevant now than ever.

[Asmodeus]

I'm going to miss rap news but I know I shan't be disappointed with any new content you create. Looking forward to more Juice in 2016.

Juice Media hits it out of the park. Again.
