Close, Onion routing research was by the Naval Research Lab. The NSA also made Linux's mandatory access control modules, and Ghidra (fantastic). And yes, we're making an own device.
The person you're replying to places themselves in a fantasy world where everyone became idiots except a super hacker intel agency pulling the strings. Notice the gymnastics into conclusions. They take me posting a beta app (tech news) as an endorsement. The reach!
You can see replies get ignored any time I or someone else shows replies to them (btw, we posted ages ago Tor isn't a great solution people are over-reliant towards and they ignored that too).

Please feel free to tell your friends to find any Pixel vulnerabilities then show everyone. I encourage it! Every hacker in the world can't be covering these supposed gaping security holes up (like every space agency in the globe has covered up the Earth being flat, lmao). You can make money finding this stuff, it's called vulnerability research, we get paid bounties for it when we find them on Android and Pixels.
Also FYI, that Tor forum link is an exploitative call to appeal by some individual who seeks attention online. They spun a trivial legal case to be about something else for attention. They posted on Tor Reddit (on my page) too. Google that OPs Reddit user with speech marks... They have a pretty messy online footprint. HN caught on quickly about how suspicious this is but obviously Redditors kinda don't know how to read.
I posted some of their legal documents. Their legal case is ACTUALLY about violating their bond when he was charged for hacking a company. He shouldn't have been operating Tor nodes past the incident because the terms stated he shouldn't have been using computers not authorised by his parole officer. You have to be a real dumbass to do that...
Obviously, they were monitored because he was on bond for a cyber crime. Nothing to do with Tor at all, it's a person making a sob story because they failed to game the feds.
The biased narrator of the story (his wife) never posted evidence of the excuses on why the bond was violated beyond words once questioned, even in the Tor thread.
Not read into the lightning talk. I'm not a maxi.
