All comments here focus on extreme cases: The police viewing you as a possible suspect, FBI becoming interested in you etc.
Here is a much more mundane problem: Using Tor (even a VPN) while logging in to most big Silicon Valley firma that make money with your data (LinkedIn, Facebook, Tinder etc.) will result in your profile being suspended REAL FAST with the only way out to upload your gov't ID, i.e. complete deanonimization (perhaps as a kind of punishment).
Any solutions?
- New_California 4y agoI struggle with the very same problem. Even connecting a real physical SIM won't protect accounts from suspension. This is crazy because it isn't based on behavior on the platform (like posting too much or liking too much) but merely on the IP and browser fingerprint. Unfortunately, no solutions in sight.
- torified 4y agoThe solution is simple. Don't use a site that abuses your privacy.
- ipaddr 4y agoStop using those services. This is a clear message that you cannot use them privately.
- data_maan 4y agoC'mon, for a forum of hackers that's a pretty lame answer, isn't it? :P
- matheusmoreira 4y agoPeople from a forum of hackers should be above depending on Big Tech corporations for anything. Easier said than done but it should still be the general goal.
- easrng 4y agoweird that facebook would suspend you for using tor when they have an official onion service.
- t0astbread 4y agoIt's a similar story with Twitter. I guess those onion services should be seen more as "censorship-resistant funnels to siphon your data" rather than anonymous ways to use the service. (Although I'm not sure how many situations there are where Facebook is blocked but Tor is accessible.)
- hidalgopl 4y agoFor the last 2 years I've been using FB via their onion service with Tor, no problems with account so far
