- emayljames 7y agoI am merely give my opinion, but a service created by the US government/Military is going to have undocumented "issues". I would not trust it one shred.
- bufferoverflow 7y agoTor is open source: https://www.torproject.org/download/tor/ https://www.torproject.org/download/tor/ So, no undocumented issues.
- ngcc_hk 7y agoIssues can be undocumented if it is found by the 3 letter one, as pointed out in the article.
- jokoon 7y agoI believe tor was researched designed and developed by the government

The best yardstick out there is to say 'would Edward Snowden use/recommend it?'.
