Anyone using TOR for security or anonymity has a screw loose. Without a for-profit model for hosting nodes we can assume the whole network is being controlled by just a few interested actors.
It might be useful when you have your own 3 hosted nodes.
- mindfulhack 6y agoI deliberately bleed my own money and energy to run a Tor node to help other people gain freedom of information. Small scale, but proof that your absolute statement is not grounded in reality.
- zamadatix 6y agoYou don't need to run every node to control the network, only most.
- WinonaRyder 6y ago> You don't need to run every node to control the network, only most. I guess it depends what you mean by _most_. We operate 8 relays, so you can exclude 8 more from your _most_ and make of that what you will...
- zamadatix 6y agoThere are some 6,000+ relays active so even in the most minimal interpretation of "most" that's ~3,000 short of most. Or subtracting the 8 specified if one considers them trusted that's somewhere around ~3,000 (i.e. it doesn't help you make out anything you couldn't have made out before).
