    I haven’t trusted it since it went down the first time and came back up with “personal logins”. That seems like a such a huge fucking honeypot.

        If the feds are running the show, then by requiring a personal login for every user, they know all the activities (downloads, uploads, browsing habits, even IP) of that person.

          It doesn't seem like much more exposure than just an email address based account. Tutanota lets you create one naked with no phone etc like most emails try to crowbar out of you

            Yes, and LibGen doesn’t require any email at all.

            ZLib used to be my go to. It has a lot more books and is a lot easier to browse. I just don’t personally trust them anymore.

              I mean it's not even like a dark market where people lose their escrow or feds could get convictions, or a piracy site which could also hand in ips for potential unmasking if you're super paranoid thru compromised vpns (protonvpn/mail worked with french cops for instance), they get a list of people who downloaded domenico losurdo books ???? that's the payoff

              You're protected from them if the vpn + tutanota thing is secure anyways is my point

      Did it come back with personal logins? I know an imitator had personal logins and was using them to steal people's info, does the legit one also involve a login?

        Yep. That’s the only way to now access the site.
