That’s stupid. This is something that’s undoubtedly positive that’s being painted as a negative by people who are naive. The one and only reason why we even know this was even a thing is because the US is a democracy with some degree of transparency. Even if its decades later, we can still publicly view, discuss, and criticize things that the government has done in the past because those documents were declassified and released to the public.
Most countries are not like this. There are a lot of instances like this that will never see the light of day until that regime collapses, and even then its successor might keep the secret going. For example, Turkey is STILL locking up the Ottoman archives relating to the Armenian genocide more than century later. There are so many evil plots and schemes made both in the past and present that we will probably never know about because they will never be released publicly due to the ruling regimes wanting to maintain their image. I wish there was more instances like this from the US and every country so we can see the good, the bad, and the ugly and get a real understanding of history.
People often think that Tor is entirely anonymous but this is not true, you can be deanonymized. There has been cases before where law enforcement used patterns and traces left behind by Tor users to track down their real IP address, and thus their real identities. This has been mostly done to track down criminals, but the point is that it’s not only possible, but it has been done before.
It’s generally best practice to only use Tor sparingly in situations where you really need anonymity, and when you do use it, you should make sure to never use any information that could lead back to you in any way. Using Tor as a daily driver to browse the clearnet is malpractice. Not only do you risk being deanonymized due to your browsing habits, but you will also stick out like a sore thumb in traffic because while everybody else is driving a car to visit these sites, you would be driving a heavily armored tank.
If you plan to use it more leisurely anyway then at least stick to onion sites and communities that are designed for Tor’s anonymity. Though, I don’t recommend using Tor regularly unless you’re either a criminal doing some shady business, a whistleblower or a journalist dealing with sensitive information, an individual who wants to bypass heavy government censorship, or someone who’s being targeted by a state (and believe me, if 3 letter agencies want to track you down, then they will). I don’t think you’re any of these.
If you’re just someone who wants a strong, private browser for normal usage then download something Ironfox and pair it with a good no logs VPN service like Mullvad. That’ll be more than enough for the vast majority of people.
news is extremely stupid as a result of perpetual propaganda/lie machine.
But you’re just dismissing evidence, which then makes claims impossible to verify. If you don’t trust multiple reputable news organizations reporting the same events, then what exactly do you trust to get updates on world events?
They 100% still have the power to control the Straights with supreme drone control and will use the power to selectively allow friendly shipping as they were doing yesterday. and your comment is pure stupidity if not purposeful lie.
Reiterating your claim and then claiming me stupid doesn’t prove me wrong or you right, it just shows that you lack substance. Both the old and new Khamenei stated the same strategy, which is to completely close down the strait to apply pressure on other country to apply pressure on the US and Israel to stop their attacks.
