The WORST propaganda Tor article ever
In this video, I break down an article filled with misinformation about Tor and privacy tools. As a darknet expert and former darknet market admin, I expose how the author completely misrepresents how Tor works and spreads dangerous misconceptions about online privacy. I start by addressing the article's first major error - claiming the Boystown darknet takedown happened in 2024 when it actually occurred in 2021. More importantly, I explain that Tor wasn't "cracked" as the author suggests.

Most dangerously, the article omits critical Tor security guidance. I emphasize that Tor alone isn't OpSec - no tool compensates for bad operational security. Using Tor correctly requires broader discipline including compartmentalization, identity separation, and environmental isolation. The article irresponsibly presents Tor as a tool you can just turn on to be anonymous, creating a false sense of security that puts users at risk.
As an OSINT and OPSEC specialist, I believe anyone writing about privacy tools is responsible for accurately informing users about how these tools work, when they're effective, and what practices are required to use them safely - standards this article completely fails to meet.
