How could Tor both be "good at hiding government employees using untrusted networks from hostile third parties" and "NOT good at keeping you private from government"?

- super_mario 8y agoThis article sums up all the issues with tor https://restoreprivacy.com/tor/ https://restoreprivacy.com/tor/ In particular, silk road shutdown, and various pedophile rings successfully de-anonymized and operators arrested. There is good evidence that powerful enough entity (esp. entity spanning multinational geographic regions) can successfully de-anonymize tor traffic. If you keep low profile and just use tor to browse regular internet privately, you are fine. But if you do wide scale illegal activity, you most likely will pay the price.
