It doesn't matter what you use to communicate or what kind of encryption you use if you data comes to rest on a compromised client.

Every single iPhone in the world is openly a compromised device with client-side scanning of all your data.

If you are stupid enough to use your iPhone for anything important or interesting, regardless of what apps you choose to use, you deserve whatever happens.

Nobody cares about the 3 tabs of acid you bought on the darkweb bro. Tor is a honeypot sting operation to take down major drug dealers and child rapists/killers like Peter Scully... If they just stung all the guys buying $25 worth of adderall, the people they actually want to grab wouldn't use it.

Too slow vs things like the free version of Proton VPN, which should be good enough for protecting you from weird /g/entoo users in unprotected wifi cafes.

If you want something to protect you from the CIA on the other hand (which probably owns or has somehow tapped all VPN networks), then KYS pedo. Since extremely unlikely you are that important and want that for any other reasons other than that.

Unless they control the in and out node you're using at any given time that doesn't really matter. The fact that .gov themselves use it would suggest they aren't super concerned about foreign groups that own nodes.

The threat model any non-retarded person has is perfectly fine for tor: avoiding data gathering by big tech and data brokers.

>Why are Americans like this?
There is a problem here called the Retard-Pedophile-Tyranny Loop. The way the Retard-Pedophile-Tyranny Loop works is easy.

The government, or proxies of it in media complain about internet pedophiles and agitate for new corporate/government spying and censorship powers.

Retards hear this and uncritically support whatever the new spy powers are. The Retards also harass other people and accuse anyone who has concerns about increased surveillance of being pedophiles themselves. Retards are too stupid to understand the value of privacy and view it only as something enabling child abuse, because that's what the government told them. It is also very easy to get the Retards into an even more aggressively stupid than usual emotional state via media manipulation.

The government/corporations get new surveillance and censorship powers. The government then does absolutely nothing about the internet pedophiles it cited as the cause for needing the new powers, and instead uses the new powers against political dissidents/journalists/etc. However, the media stops complaining about internet pedophiles for a bit, so the Retards forget they were expecting the government to do anything or that there was a problem they found upsetting and settle down temporarily.

Some amount of time later, the process restarts. Retards, being retarded, play their role of uncritically supporting the next way of censorship/surveillance and harassing anyone who questions it again. The Retards never ask what happened with the old powers they gave the government. The Retards never ask anything, because they literally do not have the cognitive capacity to have or understand these concerns, especially when whipped into an emotional state by the media.

the open secret nobody wants to acknowledge is that most people do not care, and in many countries its defacto legal. The amount of effort required to stop it would be absurd and besides, theres easier ways to justify your job. Consider this scenario:

These people typically live in Asian shitholes, and employ countermeasures other than just using Tor or GPG encrypted messages. And they could still be easily found, given enough resources and manpower.

Ted Kaczynski was caught because his Judas brother ratted him out. If he used the internet, he'd have been taken down very quickly.

I wonder if the CIA ever sell drugs on the dark web legitimately, as in not a bust, just to make money from the stuff they seize off Mexican cartel trying to cross the border.

I'm just pointing out that Tor on iPhone is security theater. Any "secure" application on an iPhone is security theater, given that Apple openly scans all your data on the client-side constantly.

It's like talking about using Tor on Windows. Sure you could do that, but what is the point, when the OS itself is spyware, and it is taking screenshots of everything you do every 3 seconds and uploading it somewhere?

Before the communication layer even matters you need a secure operating system and I don't think that exists currently. Everything is either corporate owned and openly spyware, or subverted Open Source projects that get supply-chain attacked constantly.

A new OS is needed. One that makes a clean break from the past and doesn't pull it any third-party dependencies or ancient code nobody audits. Even in that case you would have to worry about hardware backdoors in devices. So I suppose you would need to design a new OS with the assumption that the hardware it is running on may itself be malicious or compromised, and I have no idea how you would do such a thing.
>>
>>101550623
I'm talking about people where the only difference is using a phone app version of Tor, vs a desktop browser Tor on Tails or something. It doesn't matter much, it's like OCD paranoia people scared to download a torrent without being behind VPNs and VMs etc. It's not a problem, the worst case is you get a "love letter".

Only go all out if you're legit doing VERY VERY VERY illegal stuff like killing or child rape, or actually dealing the drugs/firearms.

>>

I understand both of those posts, but if the government hates privacy and doesn't care enough about darkweb pedos to do anything about them, why would they have gone through the effort of spending hundreds or millions of dollars to design and operate a pseudo-private honeypot and then done absolutely at all with it? Isn't it more likely that Tor actually does what it claims to?

>There is a problem here called the Retard-Pedophile-Tyranny Loop
i'm not reading this, i think you just made it up

>>101550993
because he's wrong and tor works. you can go read up on busts of cp forums etc and even when the actual forum was a literal honeypot run 100% by feds they still had no way of getting the users' ips and had to do traditional investigation on each individual account, going over their messages and hoping they'd let some identifying information slip. that's why the triumphant press release at the end of the investigation ends up saying shit like "child porn forum with 100000 members busted, 100 arrests made." there was a story years ago about a major pedo figure that only got caught because he had some dumb catchphrase he always ended his posts with and one time he used it while selling something on ebay. this sort of shit would not be necessary if tor was "cracked."

of course people will tell you that it's only the high-level spooks that have the backdoors to tor and they don't want to share them with "normal" law enforcement that deals with low priority shit like pedos and drug dealers, because that would ruin tor's function as a honeypot for terrorists or whatever. it's not impossible but frankly i think >>101550400 is more likely. all these "don't bother with privacy, feds already cracked everything" posts glow in the dark for me

The Retard-Pedophile-Tyranny Loop alone is enough to justify the expense and effort. The government can fabricate money from nothing so spending money it fabricated from nothing to increase its own power is easily worth it.

Tor was invented so glowniggers can do glownigger shit in countries where they don’t control the internet infrastructure and they released it to the public because without a lot of other traffic tor usage becomes a glowing beacon. They run a lot of the nodes because they’re the primary users, it’s as shrimple as that
>>101551212
>all these "don't bother with privacy, feds already cracked everything" posts glow in the dark for me
Half of them are probably genuine glowniggers who want to make their job easier, and the other half are tor using glowniggers who trying to reverse-psychology people into using it because they need the crowd for anonymity
>>
>>101551212
This was my assessment as well. And if Tor does what it says it does for literally everyone not planning a 9/11 sequel, what's the point of the shilling against it? It's still going to protect you against 99.99% of glowniggers, how is that worse than being protected against 0% of them?
>>
>>101551285
>It's still going to protect you against 99.99% of glowniggers
Not if you use it on iPhone. Then you're back to 0%.
>>
>>101551256
I don't see how the RPT loop benefits from having a backdoored Tor. If they're not going to use the backdoor, why have it? It would just potentially compromise their own usage.
>>
>>101551301
Depends. If you never download anything, it should still give you a level of protection. All of the shitware syncing happens outside the Tor browser so it's not broadcasting your identity.

>>101551312
Congratulations on realizing that the onion router is not compromised. It's all glownigger demoralization propaganda to keep everyone visible.

I don't know if Tor itself is backdoored, though I suspect the Navy would not have made it public if that were not the case. Also, backdoors can be used against people the government actually cares about, which in almost all cases are going to be people it singled out for surviellance over political beliefs/organization they don't like.

However, the OP asked about using it on iPhone. Given that Apple is open about client-side scanning, it doesn't matter what you use to communicate with on such a device as your data will be snooped on at rest.

I don't even think you can call an iPhone "backdoored" at this point. They're so open with it you might as well say iPhones have been "frontdoored".

Its not illegal and its not morallly wrong. But at the same time, im not comfortable with someone watching me do it or record me doing it from a camera drone.

When you realize 98% of gov jobs are just nepo babies trying to get in on the tax payer titties, anything casn be justified because hey, my cousin needed a job so we set him up one making worthless honeypots that do nothing.

There was just a thread on here or on /pol/ not too long ago about the CIA or FBI setting up these expensive camouflaged rock-cameras built to be undetectable and placed across a bunch of rural areas. For what? Who knows, they'll be working for 3 years. They had to hire people to build, transport and then place all these cameras, and they're putting them in parts of the country where there will literally be nothing unusual captured on them. It's purely a waste of everyones time and money and you can guarantee they won't be disposing of them when the lead batteries die in the predicted 3 year period. They'll just sit there forever afterwards rotting, all so a few people could pull 80k+ a year and benefits in some worthless gov position that has no reason to exist at all.
