Don’t confuse TOR with security, you can get exposed to use the Onion without an additional encrytion layer or VPN. TOR cannot encrypt the traffic between an exit relay and the destination server.
The TOR network is certainly pretty secure, but it’s always advisible to use it in the Onion not without an additional layer, at least with a good VPN. Anyway I think that the future is in a descentralized web (I2P, Hyphanet, Snowflake, Shadowsocks and similar), the normal Internet is to heavy controlled by big companies and govs.
One theory is that Tor was opened to the public by the United States Naval Research Laboratory only to create a crowd of users for their agents to hide in. You need a large enough anonymity set for these sorts of technologies to work.
The Free Software projects in question: Tor, Let’s Encrypt, and F-Droid
God damn they literally just want to watch everything burn.
Cut off .gov domains
.gov is using let’s encrypt? That’s pathetic.
Theyre more likely paying godaddy thousands a year for each cert on domains that go back decades.
I did not knew that Tor was getting funded by the american state. Thats giving me some spooky vibes.
It was invented by the US Navy.
Well color me stupid color me gone.
… Except not using it would be less secure, so I’m not sure I’m following…

Sure, like any security it operates in layers
Totally disagree that Tor does not address security. The loophole you mention is indeed well known, but again it’s an exploit like anything
And like any security thing, you stack a few layers to get the real world security

More exactly by Defense and secret services
F me
Well, at least the one he used for thruth is safe (mastodon IIRC?)
