I think even as a user, the risk then is that law enforcement agencies want to unmask/correlate users which leads to the possibility of them screwing that up and conflating people's identities. Arguably this is more of an issue with trust in those performing/acting on the analysis but on an individual level still factors into the "do I want to use tor?" mental model.
- twosdai 3y agoCouldn't you make the same argument about https requests over the clear net? You're request is being processed by intermediaries through your isp which three letter agencies could incorrectly correlate with you. I know there are deep fundamental technical differences, but I could see an outcome where the end result is the same across both services. I'm not trying to justify to use tor as well, just that I don't think the argument of guilt through incorrect association is solved by not using tor.
