    What part of my post makes you think I’m talking about you?

    Idk, you said that no one under 5 eyes should be using it, which sounds pretty absolute. Even if you are doing political work, what kind of political work are you doing that's gonna get the CIA jumping through hoops in TOR to surveil you? Idk, it just sounds pretty hyperbolic.

      There is a documented history of feds in the US and UK hiring agents to infiltrate completely harmless left-leaning spaces - bookclubs, mutual aid projects, etc - with the infiltration lasting years. Requesting information from intelligence-aligned internet client is not "jumping through hoops."

        You realize that they don't have to come busting through your TOR or whatever to do that right? It's the easiest, cheapest and most efficient thing. And way more practical than just getting some rando's IP.

        I am not trying to say TOR is completely safe or whatever. It definitely isn't but for the purposes of 99.9% of people, it is, especially if you combine it with something else.

          Yes, I've said that several times in this thread lol

          This thread is about political dissidents using TOR. I said, "hey that's actually not helpful." That's it.
