TOR

idek

Whadaya think about Tor? I personally use it on a daily basis and I think that it's great, Tor devs even released this 2 days ago.

It kind of bothers me when I see someone talking about "TEH ZOMG DWEEB WEB" without understanding how Tor works and the basics of Tor.
Here are some yt videos about Tor. I'd also like to encourage people to run tor relays, because sharing is caring!

P.S.
Runa Sandvik and Jacob Appelbaum are qts

I don't really use Tor all that often but you're damn right that I have it installed just in case.

you should use it as much as you can since the three letter government agencies are harvesting data

The term "deep/dark/whatever the fuck web" was pushed by cnn/bbc/other news sites/channels to make it sound more juicy. Websites with a .onion domain are called hidden services, Jacob in his little talk gives an example how retarded media can be, apparently bbc published an article on their website on how to make an account for Silk Road. The worst part is "internet experts" who eat everything up that media says make this kind of shit

I know that they're callled hidden services, but it's just easier to call it deep web. It's a lot more familiar, although it's not an accurate description of what you're talking about.

The Deeb Web is just Surface Web databases things that aren't publicly accessible like https://lewd.sx/nudes (if only senpai had directory listings enabled). The Dark Web is what you use Tor for c:

I use a VPN service called cryptostorm and their DNS server allows access to tor hidden services. It's pretty interesting.

I've only dabbled in TOR a bit. I used it for a couple hidden forums, all of which I never stuck around on cause the owners were cunts. Aside from that though I never found a real reason to use it. However, it is a very good tool for those whose governments censor the internet, and helps keep people semi-anonymous.

If you already know then pls don't call it "the deep/dark/whatever web" unless you inform people before hand that the correct term is "hidden services" pls, security and internet are srs business

I'm sorry but it seems silly to put convinience before privacy, but hey that's just me

Shiro

I send all my traffic through tor just becuase I'm parranoid.

I don't see the point.

Oh no, they'll see me posting on gaming/anime forums and playing diablo. Big whoop.

I'm sorry that your life is too boring for you to have anything to hide

I heard from some places it's illegal and really dangerous so I haven't really explored it too much but hmmm maybe one day.

Tor itself isn't illegal, people just host illegal content on its network because it's harder to trace

I have it installed on my computer but I never really do anything with it as I'm afraid to mess up my computer badly.

A classmate used it to look up dolphin porn though...

pls watch those two videos that I posted, it's not illegal, pls don't listen to the takedown man or any other "internet expert" who makes "scary deepweb stories"

It's basically just a secure web browser, you don't have to use it for hidden services only

I'm not paranoid enough for that. I-it's not like I'm doing illegal things over the internet!

They're still violiting your human rights

None_At_All

I for one don't really care too mucha bout privacy (I use Chrome). I pretty much agree with @CompaIsMyWaifu . I undertand privacy violations are illegal, but I can't really make myself care at all. I'm just data to them, they're not tracking me personally, and if they did do that, the worst they'd find is piracy for anime streaming and tentacle or loli hentai.

They're still violiting your human rights

Im against nsa surveilence but technically, they are not violating any rights directly. They are sorta violating implied rights but its a murky fine line. So i agree with you but people gotta start making clearer arguments. Im am a active i2p and tor user myself.

I only use tor when I want to buy/sell things that I won't mention on here for obvious reasons.
Other then that I just keep it there.
