Say what, now?

Anonymity and encrypted communication are two very, very different things. Have one but not the other and you're essentially handing off your private data incl. passwords to whoever that has a tap on the communication between you and the server can fetch them, too. Have the other but not the one and everyone will know who you are, but they can't eavesdrop.

I've had people straight up serve me malware when you attempt to OSINT them with Tor. Sometimes you need different kinds of anonymity, and I see a lot of one sized fits all proclamations on HN.

I've found lots on Iranians on tor.
