Sounds like a feature more than an issue.
- mirimir 8y agoI suppose. It depends on your perspective. As it is now, only serious criminals can manage it.
- craftyguy 8y ago> only serious criminals can manage it. Manage what? Not having to use Google and Facebook?
- mirimir 8y agoNo, having functional Google and Facebook accounts that they can use to anonymously mess with people. Basically, you need clean IPs and mobile accounts. Tor and VPN exits don't work so well. Creating your own VPN in a VPS sometimes works. But I gather that the pros use botnet slaves with genuine residential IPs.
- icebraining 8y agoFor Facebook you don't need an exit node, they have an official onion address, facebookcorewwwi.onion
- mirimir 8y agoGood point. I bet, though, that creating an account there triggers heavy-duty authentication. And that reminds me. I recently tried to create a ProtonMail account via Tor. But they wouldn't activate it without mobile and credit/debit card numbers. Ironic, no? And yes, I do get that many jerks have misused ProtonMail accounts. Edit: I take that back about Facebook. Via the onion, it just wanted an email address to authenticate. I'm impressed.
