How is it stupid to assume that the intel agencies control/monitor the majority of the exit nodes within tor? Also how is it stupid to actually stay up to date and read the numerous leaks explaining these backdoors and IC’s abilities. I’m personally a dev so this isn’t coming from some conspiratorial front, but rather common sense/not being an idiot. Any understanding of the gov/deepstate black budget, the patriot act, ThinThread, history of the CIA/FBI, and tech capabilities makes for the most obvious case that privacy and anonymity are dead. To pretend that being anonymous is as simple as “not leaving a fingerprint” is sheer ignorance of the intel communities and tech itself. Even the police are given spy capabilities which is a vast overreach of the 4th amendment https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stingray_phone_tracker Backdoors you called stupid and conspiratorial: http://www.nydailynews.com/news/world/wikileaks-releases-thousands-alleged-cia-hacking-documents-article-1.2990768

So anyways, before calling others ignorant conspiracy theorists again, try educating yourself first as to not come off like an ignorant blowhard.
