  Wouldnt someone need to be hosting a ton of exit nodes for that to work?

    Yeah, and the FBI has been doing that for at least 7 years now, to catch some pretty disgusting criminals: digitaltrends.com/…/fbi-running-darknet-child-por…

    If they are willing to do it to catch bad guys, who’s stopping them from doing it to monitor good guys as well?

        The outrage comes from the fact that the FBI had to literally distribute that kind of content in order to catch people, and it kind of borders on entrapment

      They’ve gotten a number of people operating Tor sites through things like tracing crypto transactions and web hosting mistakes. One example I heard was a site that was hosted in Tor, but the images were hosted on a home server straight over the internet instead of through Tor.

    If someone has a Microsoft defender HE IS the honeypot. MD can just hook into that browser and track them.

  What’s that?

    Basically a trap made to look tempting, ex: police run a site to buy illegal stuff for cheap to catch the people trying to buy it

      it means feds run the majority of nodes and would have a high chance of being able to easily identify users.

      Which is the case.
