if you're attempting to keep the information private, you're not doing a good job by handing it to a third party.
Expectation of privacy is kind of based around self-incrimination, and you lose a lot of those when you hand information to a third party.
Even if it's "public" (in the legal sense of 'not protected'), Tor can be useful against non-state actors, or against weaker state actors.
I'm not saying there isn't a colloquial expectation of privacy, but that the jurisprudence on privacy doesn't apply to Tor (or at least, that there is an argument that it doesn't).

- murjinsee 11y agoI agree with you emotionally, but question your argument legally. What, 'is,' and what, 'should be', are rarely the same thing. If government wants something forbidden, it creeps towards it. Expectations are meaningless without threats.
