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.

        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.

    • Signal went closed source for ages, just simply stopped publishing their source code. Happened with the server and the client. Pretty shitty thing to do if your whole ad spiel is about how you can trust them because they’re so open and transparent.

      Or maybe it was the weird blockchain coin thing they added into Signal, that left a bad taste as well.
