For example, I downloaded Tor network and using it for illegal activities. Can my govt track me? Can US govt track me? I know it encrypts something but if I remember correct, FBI was able to find some Tor users before.

Note: illegal activities was for example. I'm not going to do anything illegal. I'm just planning to serve my instance with a onion address.

This post glows so hard I'm going to need a pair of sunglasses.

Wait, is the joke about me being CIA? Cause I’m not CIA 100%

That's exactly what a fed would say

It’s simple. If you ask a cop if he’s a cop, he’s like, obligated to tell you. It’s in the Constitution.

I guess the phone number leak, I wouldn't really call it a fiasco though

That was also a hack on Twilio. Signal itself wasn't compromised in any way if I am not wrong.

I said "fiasco" because they did not share the backend server repo for a while and did not make any statement about it. Maybe a little overreaction than it should be. But for an app that promises privacy, it's kinda annoying.

[–] QuazarOmega@lemy.lol 2 points 1 year ago

Oh that, yeah that was pretty bad tbh

As long as you stay ^far^ ^far^ away from Javascript, you should be fine.

I'm intrigued. What is that link?

[–] melroy@kbin.melroy.org 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The Curiosity of the human mind is the weakest link.

[–] Dsklnsadog@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Actually, that's what makes us better. Even if the price is death of one for knowledge of the whole race

[–] melroy@kbin.melroy.org 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I fully agree with you ;) .. Although a lot of animals are curious as well. But I mean it's one of the weakest links in terms of security. The human is the weakest link.
