I ran an exit node back 2007-2008 ish after learning about Tor at a conference.
I stopped running an exit node when I looked at the traffic flowing through it. I even sslstripped it back when that was much easier.
No freedom fighters. No oppressed journalists. No free speech.
Only porn and scams.
Running a Tor exit node for freedom is like burning a village to save it or enriching your own uranium to solve the energy crisis.
There's gotta be an answer, but this ain't it.

- rcbdev 2y agoJust because most stuff is botspam, that doesn't mean it's not worth it for the occasional Snowden or Panama Papers - those would have been next to impossible to safely execute without Tor.
- ErikBjare 2y agoMakes sense that's where the bulk of the volume is, not much different from the internet at large. Freedom fighters and oppressed journalists are exceedingly rare, but they do use Tor. I wonder what you expected?
