Good for you, it takes a lot of patience and effort to maintain personal security & privacy at that level. Personally I don't trust TOR enough to be protective, and am hoping decentralized VPN will be more trustable.
I opine that if you aren't breaking any laws , You aren't on anyone's radar and are fairly safe. but in this climate, you can get punished for wrong think. stay proactive and do everything you can.
Having "unacceptable views" is pretty much breaking the law in Canada now, and people "liking" posts on FB warrants a visit from Ontario police. It's becoming increasingly difficult to stay off the radar.
I rather think it's not about having alternate views and more about expressing them. people need to invest in some ham radios. anything digital is going to keep people on the radar. for all its blessing to humanity; it has now became a curse. I've always told my sons; anything you discover; keep it to yourself and tell no one or it will be used against you.
Tor use to be the shit until FBI altered the code and distributed their version of it. I do nothing but participate in public discussion but I prefer to remain anonymous. I trust anything more than I trust windows, Apple, Google.....
TOR was originally created by the US Navy...
Yes it was and it's still an awesome tool but as web browsers have upped their game, some websites perform poorly in TOR. The latest update was a couple weeks ago (it is continually updated) so the weakness the FBI exploited has been patched several years ago. keeping it updated regularly is the key to anonymity.
