lol

it's a service

fuck me this give out freebies mentality is insane

remember how that was the thing and is mostly still the thing on the internet?

yeah, and now your whole account data set is getting leaked on a regular basis because your data is the product and they are collecting it to sell and then hackers sometimes steal it to give away to give the middle finger to the megacorps or to make money selling it on the dark web

when you get service for free, you are the product

most of the tor network is being run by spooks because nobody else would do it, and you are taking a huge risk using it because if they control enough points and gather the traffic timing data they know who, from where, is talking to who

it completely negates teh whole purpose to not have it be paid and incentives for relays to run

have you looked at the size of the network over the last 15 years?

flatline

the technology to spy on it has probably exponentially raced ahead and the vires in numeris of the network is not keeping pace

i said this in 2007 and i'll say it again

tor is a waste of time until it scales
