I am tired of seeing it and tired of hearing about it. If I knew Anonymous’s phone number I would call them but I don’t . I just want to be a person like them when they took down child porn rings except this time it is Nazi’s and all that entails

    Yeah, I don’t have a lot of faith that Tor makes us untraceable to intelligence agencies. It makes it more difficult, I’m sure, but I assume Five Eyes hardware is 10 years ahead of consumer hardware.

      But I don’t see why you have to be 100% untracable to government intelligence agencies to be relatively safe?

        With context, he is wanting to “hack.” The chances of it being above board are slim to none. I’m sure part of his hacker fantasy is not getting caught.

      The government had full access to people’s social media accounts, emails, personal computers, phones, and even webcams and microphones way back in the early 2000’s. If they could do that back then with a super secretive program and limited funding, imagine what they can do now with a fully funded Patriot Act and no mandate for discretion. It’s not the whole government that has these resources, but the NSA and CIA certainly do, and they’ve all agreed to share with each other ever since 9/11.
