If I were the CIA, I would want to run a bunch of Tor nodes just to snoop on people.
Of course, if I were the KGB, or MI-6, or the Chinese State Security Ministry, or the DGSI, etc., then I would be doing the same thing.
Assuming that's true (and it may not be), I'm curious how much security would be compromised with many different adversaries instead of just one adversary.
Can anyone shed some light on this for me?
- devwastaken 3y agoTor was created by u.s. gov. It is used by gov across the world to secretly communicate. How else are you going to get intelligence off the ground? A wifi connection anywhere works for tor. It's also why it's still available and hasn't been challenged in law. Every tor node and exit is in a list, it has to be. If govs wanted to, they can make it illegal and start raiding. They love raids. They don't because that harms their intelligence ops.
