I find it curious hoe many big corpos maintain .onion services such as reddit and meta (with facebook)
Also, many nodes pass through countries such as the US, UK, DEU, NL and so on.
My rule of thumb is that if something is allowed to operate and exist in the imperial core that goes a bit counterintuitive to bourgeois class goals (specially today with surveillance) then it must have another purpose not easily discovered by the public.
Maybe not maintained in a literal sense but TOR was created with the help of US law enforcement and intelligence agencies and they more than likely still operate nodes.
To go further, the internet itself was designed for mass surveillance and narrative control.
Not saying this makes your point null or anything but I find it funny that despite this the first “online transaction” was for marijuana.
That is funny
Oh? More information please.

Well invidious and Duckplayer isn’t working in my area, anymore so I found an article, anyway. I knew they were messing with ublock because a few videos cut off at the end last week. Thanks though.
That is why I linked youtube. I don’t like it either but Invidious and other players have been having some serious issues lately. The articles looked a little “tabloidy” for me but if it works it works!
YT straight up is like gas station restrooms: I’m not above it, but I’d rather not. And yes the articles were baity but archiver still works for now, so there’s that.
It’s weird too because so far that’s the only video duck wouldn’t handle.
If lemmygrad had user taglines this would certainly be a candidate
😆
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
