- chefandy 2y agoSure-- but that structural shortcoming has been a thing for a long time-- I wouldn't consider it a secret vulnerability that Tor was facilitating for US intelligence, as was initially implicated. I'm not in the field, but it seems like it would be way more useful for law enforcement working against criminals naive enough to think tor would be a one-stop op-sec solution (e.g. ANOM) than for nation-state-level counterintelligence.
