    There’s a popular conspiracy theory that Tor is a FBI/CIA honeypot

    I assume that’s what this is about

    But based on my understanding of Tor, you are correct. I always disconnect from my VPN when using Tor

      It’s more complicated than just “conspiracy theory”. They have taken over servers and run honeypots busting cp creators and distributors.

        Running a honey pot and baiting people into revealing their identity (what’s actually happened), and the network itself being a honeypot, are two very different things
