For example, I downloaded Tor network and using it for illegal activities. Can my govt track me? Can US govt track me? I know it encrypts something but if I remember correct, FBI was able to find some Tor users before.
Note: illegal activities was for example. I’m not going to do anything illegal. I’m just planning to serve my instance with a onion address.

Signal fiasco?
[This comment has been deleted by an automated system]
I guess the phone number leak, I wouldn’t really call it a fiasco though
That was also a hack on Twilio. Signal itself wasn’t compromised in any way if I am not wrong.
I said “fiasco” because they did not share the backend server repo for a while and did not make any statement about it. Maybe a little overreaction than it should be. But for an app that promises privacy, it’s kinda annoying.
Oh that, yeah that was pretty bad tbh
