This is how you know it’s a honeypot now
Wouldnt someone need to be hosting a ton of exit nodes for that to work?
Yeah, and the FBI has been doing that for at least 7 years now, to catch some pretty disgusting criminals: https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/fbi-running-darknet-child-port-sites-tor-malware/
If they are willing to do it to catch bad guys, who’s stopping them from doing it to monitor good guys as well?

The outrage…
The outrage comes from the fact that the FBI had to literally distribute that kind of content in order to catch people, and it kind of borders on entrapment.
I don’t have any sympathy for these predators. I’m glad they got locked away. I just think the FBI is using unconstitutional means to do so
That’s not my understanding of “entrapment”. It needs to coerce somebody into something they otherwise would not do.
“Making available” illicit material is not coercive.
If I remember correctly, it was brought up in court but dismissed. So you’re right there.
Is the FBI gonna start giving away cocaine to try and catch dealers too?
Nah fuck that.
Number 1 - the world exists outside the USA and a lot of those fuckers live there.
And Number 2 - kiddie fiddlers don’t get rights and if you can get them through entrapment the its just as good as any other means.
Innocent until proven guilty means nothing to you apparently
That has nothing to do with it though…

How you think they got Silk Road?
The only time I used TOR mode in Brave was to do download some obscure old 32 bit iPhone IPA games which was an onion link
didnt the silk road guy use his IRL name for it somewhere and was bragging about it in someway, I remember reading that he didnt have any opsec at all
Oh shit I was not aware of that…also I found out that an fib agent was able to get in under the username “iceman”
They’ve gotten a number of people operating Tor sites through things like tracing crypto transactions and web hosting mistakes. One example I heard was a site that was hosted in Tor, but the images were hosted on a home server straight over the internet instead of through Tor.
If someone has a Microsoft defender HE IS the honeypot. MD can just hook into that browser and track them.
What’s that?
Basically a trap made to look tempting or valuable, ex: police run a site to buy illegal stuff for cheap to catch the people trying to buy it, like catching flies that want the honey
In this case if Tor Browser is a honeypot it means feds run the majority of nodes and would have a high chance of being able to easily identify users.

Which is the case.
