[–] m00dy 7mo ago ↗ hey guys, anyone believes Tor still can provide anonymity to users ? just trying to ask politely. [–] lurker_jMckQT99 7mo ago ↗ hey, would you mind elaborating (with sources)? [–] jstanley 7mo ago ↗ This FUD comes up whenever Tor is mentioned on Hacker News. The answer is: let's say you think Tor isn't 100% flawless. What are you going to do? Not use Tor? It's better than any other option. [–] bigyabai 7mo ago ↗ It's not FUD at all. I think you would be utterly shocked how many active alternatives exist, and how small Tor is compared to it's reputation.
