Comment on Brazilian court orders suspension of Elon Musk’s X after it missed deadline
suction@lemmy.world 2 weeks agoNever said they can block TOR. They run TOR entry nodes as honeypots. And don’t forget, authorities can and will use just metadata (what you connected to when) to prosecute you without ever caring what you actually transmitted.
But go ahead and call me clueless, I am not trying to educate here. Just annoyed that people trust these technologies so much without really understanding how they get caught.

some authorities try to use metadata for prosecution, yes, but it doesn’t suffice. They have to correlate undeniably that metadata and whatever information they may have collected from other nonencrypted platforms.
one entry node on TOR that collects the crumbles that passes through this node… good luck to anybody trying to make sense of that mess.
I’ve been following these cases for years now, you write “i’m not trying to educate”, but it seems like you’re trying to inform the clueless among us about the dangers of using VPN or TOR. With a claim like that, it would be nice to have some reliable sources linked in your comments
