@multi-spoon wonder boy do we do this here?
is TOR as a topic banned or is it more dark web stuff specifically?
Tor is a banned topic?
my b i didnt know i will read the rules a lil better
Good question. It's more so the dark web stuff
Nothing inherently wrong with TOR, but it's how it is used which can stray into no no territory
As far as safe settings go, the TOR browser is pretty well-configured out of the box
i was told that alot of journalists from other countries use it and theres tons of stuff abt free speech on there, yes i do know that TOR is also where the dark web is at but i just didnt know how TOR works and im super scared
Truthfully, there's really nothing to be afraid of if you're not talking to or engaging with sketchy shit
I use it fairly often for investigations and there isn't a ton to consider on the usage side
so its kinda like google in a sense of just dont download anyything and im good?
The biggest difference being that you need to find sites ahead of time because there isn't really a Google for TOR
Yeah, be aware of what you input and what you download
so do i need to do a reddit deep dive for free speech TOR websites?
Probably would be your best bet, yeah
ive also been told to turn off JAva script, what do you think?
probably worth doing yea
I wouldn't know though
any tips to avoid sketchy shit?
Yeah, that's a good idea
Honestly just use best judgement. If something looks or sounds weird, avoid it
🫡 see you boys on the otherside
if you're doing strictly clear web stuff then you don't need anything more than standard web guidance
if you're doing
.tor links, the advice I've heard is to practice good opsec
on the dark web opsec is a lot more important
and also just assume that you are gonna get burned at least once, you'll see something you didn't want to see or accidentally download something you didn't want to download
but once it happens, try to learn from it and try to avoid doing that again
so no SSNs on your tor machine pleasenaw i looked up free speech and the first thing that came up was wiki lol it looks just like google i feel less scared now
tape up your webcam etc. etc.
