Backdoor access to what?
The last reply I will make.
From September 19 2024
"In response, the Tor Project acknowledged that one user of an outdated application called Ricochet was likely deanonymized through a “guard discovery attack.” However, they emphasized that this vulnerability has since been patched in current versions of Tor software."

Excuse me? Are you saying using guard discovery is a backdoor someone gave to the government? I mean, you can think whatever, but the technology isn't really.. backdoorable? It doesn't make sense in the context. Where will the backdoor lead? It has no where to go.
Okay buddy keep it going as long as you need to. You might enjoy Reddit more, it's a safe space for people who cannot change their opinions. Bye.
Why? I am trying to understand what you mean so I can change my opinion. I'm not changing it because you are fuming and escalating the aggression, in fact, that has the exact opposite effect
