Ok so the CIA, NSA, and FBI are running the majority of Tor nodes. Is there evidence that the data is being used to prosecute/harass/intimidate people?
Wouldn't there be unusual IP addresses on exit nudes?
I'm just trying to follow this thread.
So you're okay with the TLAs snooping around and watching what you do provided they don't act on it? I'm not, if only as a matter of principle. To quote the great movie Anon, it's not that I have something to hide, it's that I have nothing I want them to see.
Besides, remember, this is the United States: just say terrorism or national security, and due process and habeas corpus go out the window - in which case, you may not hear about somebody being harassed or prosecuted at all.
Why wouldn't they act on it?
