   Steve Gibson says to keep away from TOR.

   TOR may be our only way to secure ourselves from malware and baddies and other three letter intelligence services.

     @cook yep. US naval gazers. but it's open source now.

     there are ways to de-anomyise by packet timing analysis

     but if general tor routing method is backdoored then all encryption is likely backdoored.

     @ned @philcolbourn I recall @adam saying during a show several years ago that early development/funding came from US intel. Not sure how trustworthy that is.

     Though you should make note that TOR is a three letter service! 🤔 🤨 🤠

     I heard similar, it definitely got some government funds. I don't remember the details (and maybe it was FUD) but I wouldn't be surprised at all if the CIA was involved.

     From wiki

     The core principle of Tor, onion routing, was developed in the mid-1990s by United States Naval Research Laboratory employees, mathematician Paul Syverson, and computer scientists Michael G. Reed and David Goldschlag, to protect American intelligence communications online.
