Women are anonymously spilling tea about men in their cities on viral app
When Cid Walker opens the Tea app, she’s greeted by a barrage of posts about men and their apparent "red" and "green" "flags."“He’s a cheater,” Walker said, reading some of the comments on one post out loud."What clubs does he go to?" another person asked on a different post.

Conformidade com os Requisitos Legais de Privacidade de Dados: Um Estudo sobre Técnicas de Anonimização
The protection of personal data has become a central topic in software development, especially with the implementation of the General Data Protection Law (LGPD) in Brazil and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the European Union. With the enforcement of these laws, certain software quality criteria have become mandatory, such as data anonymization, which is one of the main aspects addressed by these regulations. The aim of this article is to analyze data anonymization techniques a…

Optimizing Anonymity and Efficiency: A Critical Review of Path Selection Strategies in Tor
The Onion Router (Tor) relies on path selection algorithms to balance performance and anonymity by determining how traffic flows through its relay network. As Tor scales and usage patterns evolve, default strategies such as bandwidth-weighted random selection and persistent guard nodes face increasing performance limitations. This study presents a comparative evaluation of five path selection strategies: Random, Guard, Congestion-Aware, and two Geographic approaches (Diversity Driven and Latenc…

Computing Tree Structures in Anonymous Graphs via Mobile Agents
Minimum Spanning Tree (MST) and Breadth-First Search (BFS) tree constructions are classical problems in distributed computing, traditionally studied in the message-passing model, where static nodes communicate via messages. This paper investigates MST and BFS tree construction in an agent-based network, where mobile agents explore a graph and compute. Each node hosts one agent, and communication occurs when agents meet at a node. We consider $n$ agents initially dispersed (one per node) in an a…
