Tails OS and TOR not secure

https://gab.com/EWillHelpYou/posts/105641931411151239

The Tails Operating System pitches itself as an OS meant to protect privacy.

Tor Pitches itself as a means to secure your internet traffic from being snooped on.

Except that neither does this and those are both huge lies.

-

The bulk of both's funding comes from US government entities, and their second biggest donors are private companies like Google (who uncoincidentally heavily sponsors both Tails OS and Tor through public donations, private employee-matched contributions, and shell companies they also fund; laundering money through secondary entities before it is "donated").

In short, the tools being pushed to you as ways in which to protect yourself, are themselves tools used by the intelligence community and corporate monoliths to spy on you.

There are numerous flaws in these systems, keeping them wide open for your data to be sniffed up.

Here are some basic flaws that have, purposefully, existed for years:

—-

Tails does not protect against BIOS or firmware attacks.

Tor exit nodes can eavesdrop on communications.

Tails makes it clear that you are using Tor and probably Tails.

Neither protects against Man-in-the-middle attacks or End-to-end correlation attacks.

Tails doesn't encrypt your documents by default.

Tails doesn't clear the metadata of your documents for you and doesn't encrypt the Subject: and other headers of your encrypted email messages.

This list goes on and on.

Remember that privacy is an illusion, and if powerful interests are pushing means to "secure" yourself; they've already infiltrated it, (or in this case, funded and helped build both to begin with).
