many cameras add metadata to photos - camera make/model, date etc ... but also often geographic location. This is stored in a part of the image file called "EXIF" metadata. They're easy to remove, but i guess many people either don't know about it or forget. Well, at least you won't be one of the people who don't know about it.

It appears TOR has been compromised a while ago

Using it was only going to get you flagged as a Person of Interest

makes sense to me... Tor is too slow to use it fulltime, and most buyers would only be using it maybe a couple times a month, so that doesn't leave many people besides dealers who'd be using it daily!

about tor....its faster now...only on 1 site i kno it last forever to connect cause tor switching relais to often and site gets not connected...

you shouldnt but nowadays you can stream yt with it...

with tor its same as with vpn's.. you never kno as just user....
some say they give never ever data out but what if new law is out and they get forced...or simply hacked

its always a race on both sites..and you need always be updated ...one door gets closed another gets opened...but when you really want to kno you are 100 safe you need to be a nerd..a nerd with options..or you have a nerd who works it out for you indeed...

maybe they can monitor you but its other thing how you apear in that moment...with computer name of your legit name with your tax work pc at its best or as dfvgiuegvoiq874 with no exif data on your pics...i dont use exif remover or windows function...i snip them...its more work yes ..few minutes.....

Yes, and Instagram...


But, what about Anonymous... where are they now ?

Not one single hack or attack for ages, years really... almost like they got wind that nothing they do on the net is hidden...


Look at the form book, the best hackers get turned, work for the Govt. I know one via work, he got caught, now works for them..(not an Anon, predates that by a few years)
