A botnet that broke DDoS records at 31.4 terabits per second accidentally crippled I2P's anonymity network
while trying to use it as a backup command infrastructure, and the developers responded with post-quantum cryptography enabled by default.

The fact that "Bitcoin privacy best practices" is a 47-page guide
while Monero's is "send it" tells you everything about which chain respects your time and freedom.

It's not jail, you don't even understand the definition of basic things.
It's prison.
I never said that they should spend time incarcerated, why are you inventing an argument here?

Asking the surveillance state to pardon someone for resisting the surveillance state while handing them your identity on a silver platter is not the way.

Germany is debanking journalists and critics without explanation.
The IRS offered $625K to crack Monero's privacy and nobody claimed it.
This is why governments hate it.

Switzerland's government is forcing every VPN and encrypted messenger with 5,000+ users to
collect your passport and decrypt your communications on demand.
This bypasses their famous direct democracy entirely.

Your VPN promises no logs but hands data to feds, routes DNS through logged servers, and can't distinguish app traffic.
TorVPN provides per-app circuits, virtual DNS endpoints, automatic bridge discovery, and decentralized trust.

Remember when the CIA recommended using Signal (quote on blog)?
That was fun.
Signal just launched paid backups designed by Facebook's former surveillance architect. The same company that stored desktop keys in plaintext for 6 years now wants $1.99/month to store your messages on their servers.
