For Windows users who frequently use the TorBrowser, there's been a pressing concern. Recent versions of the TorBrowser, specifically because of the tor.exe file it contained, were being flagged as potential threats by Windows Defender.

    That’s not my understanding of “entrapment”. It needs to coerce somebody into something they otherwise would not do.

    “Making available” illicit material is not coercive.

      If I remember correctly, it was brought up in court but dismissed. So you’re right there.
