then why use tor in the first place, if you got nothing to hide? logs may incriminate you even your own country protects you. think e.g. panama-leaks or other stuff that an activist or journalist might come across in your research ... also can you trust your own law enforcement not to be corrupt? how about if you know things connected to organized crime, ... in that case if you're based in the same jurisdiction as the mobster and e.g. you stole a couple of gig worth of incriminating material would you go to the police? it's pretty clear that you wouldn't want any logs. I live in a country where the highest ranking politicians are fully in the hands of the mob. here a speeding ticket can be solved with a small "tip". Word of advise: don't ever trust the state to protect you. Also don't ever talk to cops no matter where in the world you're living (even less so if you're not guilty! this is first advise every lawyer will give you too).

  It's not that I have nothing to hide. I close the door before I use the toilet. This tool specifically promotes hiding crimes. Mix questionable ethics with no updates in six years and it's likely to taste off and stale.

    you're suggesting questionable ethics but presumably missed the point that @thegrugq is one of the biggest thinkers in OpSec today. thegrugq threads https://hn.algolia.com/?query=thegrugq&sort=byPopularity&prefix&page=0&dateRange=all&type=all https://hn.algolia.com/?query=thegrugq&sort=byPopularity&pre... insinuating criminal content and questionable ethics, or conjecturing he is a nation state actor, when you seem to be utterly unfamiliar with his work isn't fair tbh

  We all know Private Browsing is for porn, but everyone goes along with the illusion that it's for buying presents for your SO. You might well have something to hide, but putting a banner over your fireplace saying "Incriminating evidence goes here" is still a bit silly.
