Tor Browser

[RoyalistGamer]

Tor is one of the best free software for online anonymity. I have repeatedly heard Tor in the news for about a year now and its good and bad points. It's good points for example are that it can be used by activists and allow people who have strong restrictions placed on their internet to access blocked websites such as Facebook and YouTube in countries such as China, Syria, Iran, North Korea etc. It's bad points are that it can be used by criminals such as drug dealers to sell drugs online (Silk Road) by using the Bitcoin online currency. Also, it can be used by pedophiles to download and trade images and videos of child abuse with low chances of being traced. I was wondering what is your opinion of Tor? If you need more information on it please Google it. 

 

Kind Regards,

Just create your own personal VPN and you can get past all restrictions in your work/school/college. No need for TOR, TOR is a great thing but is too slow for me.

To be honest, if you use tor, you use it of your own choice, whether that brings the attention of groups like the NSA to you or not. I personally don't use it, but I can see why people would want to use it and do use it, both for good and bad reasons.

I did. But it is only 50% bad. I have my own VPN too, but it doesn't work at my school for some reason. You don't blow one thing up, because it has something bad to it. People send drugs via Mail, maybe we should blow up U.P.S

This is from Wikipedia:

 

The core principle behind Tor, "onion routing," was developed in the mid-1990s by U.S. Naval Research Laboratory employees mathematician Paul Syverson and computer scientists Michael Reed and David Goldschlag, with the purpose of protecting U.S. intelligence communications online. Onion routing was further developed by DARPA in 1997.

 

In December 2006, Dingledine, Mathewson and five others founded The Tor Project, a Massachusetts-based 501©(3) research-education nonprofit organization responsible for maintaining Tor. The EFF acted as The Tor Project's fiscal sponsor in its early years, and early financial supporters of The Tor Project included the U.S. International Broadcasting Bureau, Internews, Human Rights Watch, the University of Cambridge, Google, and Netherlands-based Stichting.net.

 

The Tor Project says Tor's users include "normal people" who want to keep their internet activities private from websites and advertisers, people concerned about cyber-spying, users who are evading censorship such as activists and journalists, and military professionals.

 Personally, i find it difficult to support the Tor Browser because its bad points are really just too bad and kind of over-weigh the good points about Tor.

BLOW UP THE INTERNET! PEOPLE USE IT FOR CHILD PORN!

Just to Notify you, Twitter and some other websites are known to contain quite a lot of child abuse images and videos. These websites do try their best to remove these but nobody can actually control the users of the internet. Getting rid of Tor will not get rid of Child abuse, instead criminals will find other ways to view it. This is the sad truth of this situation.

I have often used Tor to protect my privacy. I can't trust any other browser t do that.

Not to mention it's common knowledge that many exit nodes are compromised.
