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.
“illegal activities” doesn’t always mean buying crack cocaine, or whatever. depending on where you live it can mean:
accessing wikipedia, forming communities, performing union activities…
in other words, the ruling class of your country decides something being threatening their power, and that becomes an illegal activity.
of course everyone can be tracked. also everyone is not julian assange, so i’m not so worried about using tor for “illegal activities”.
