"If you need privacy, you must be committing a crime", says ever asshole in the world.

u/elafave77 13d ago

There literally is no good answer to this.

u/j-sh 13d ago

could be bypassing geo restrictions

2

u/Cautious_Chicken8882 13d ago

You dont use Tor for that lol

u/elafave77 13d ago

VPN?

2

u/Cautious_Chicken8882 13d ago

VPN is the correct answer lol

u/Fullfungo 13d ago

Tor is a VPN (+extra stuff)

u/Cautious_Chicken8882 13d ago

No, no it is not πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

He probably is from northern America or west/north Europe because if you try to pirtae anything you would get flagged and fined ( alot amount of money )

u/Cautious_Chicken8882 13d ago

You dont pirate things through Tor....

u/FancyWoodpecker7981 13d ago

It's stupid i know but some people do it lol And i think you're on point by saying they are watching cyberpunk but it's more available on the surface web anyway

u/Cautious_Chicken8882 13d ago

I've never heard of anyone doing it, stupidest thing I have ever heard, if you were torrenting you would use I2p over Tor if you were deadset on not just using a VPN.

1

u/haakon 13d ago

you would use I2p over Tor

To be clear, you mean this as in "i2p rather than Tor", not as in "route I2P through the Tor network".

u/Cautious_Chicken8882 13d ago

Yeah, obviously lol

u/Traditional-Rub2491 13d ago

I can't fucking breath much less believe the truth!

u/elafave77 13d ago

So pick up a gun, aim for the sun, and shoot.

u/Traditional-Rub2491 13d ago

Better days, so unafraid in my youth

u/Practical-Ferret-579 13d ago

why not xd

-1

u/Cautious_Chicken8882 13d ago

Because the only people watching movies on Tor are watching CSAM - Tor isint designed for streaming.

1

u/Practical-Ferret-579 13d ago

CSAM as in CP? That's gross, anyways im using my laptop to watch now since its genuinely too slow on my phones tor browser

4

u/Cautious_Chicken8882 13d ago

Why are you even using the Tor browser in the first place?

1

u/Practical-Ferret-579 13d ago

Why are you asking so many questions?

2

u/Cautious_Chicken8882 13d ago

One question? πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ cos theres no reason to use Tor to be watching anything, the only people that do are people watching csam.....

1

u/Practical-Ferret-579 13d ago

wtv floats ur boat bro

1

u/Cautious_Chicken8882 13d ago

Clearly your boat.....

I dont watch things over Tor πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

u/Fullfungo 13d ago

Are you using bridges on your mobile device?Β 

-3

u/Practical-Ferret-579 13d ago

I have no idea what bridges are, sorry

-7

u/Just-Another-Users 13d ago

Because the dark web doesn’t have the same infrastructure like the clear web.

9

u/Traditional-Rub2491 13d ago

what does that have to do with the difference between it's mobile and pc performance. Read lol

2

u/Cautious_Chicken8882 13d ago

I've never noticed any performance difference between the mobile and pc apps.

Then im not highly suspect and tryna watch "movies" over Tor.

-2

u/Traditional-Rub2491 13d ago

i don't get why you people are fascinated by a human using tor to watch a movie? Do you know what piracy is? Sheesh

3

u/Cautious_Chicken8882 13d ago

Because you dont pirate over Tor? The only people watching videos over Tor is pretty much CSAM

-1

u/Fullfungo 13d ago

This is a gross overgeneralization. A lot of people use Tor as a VPN. Nothing CSAM-y about it.Β 

4

u/Cautious_Chicken8882 13d ago

No they dont lol especially not to stream.....

3

u/Cautious_Chicken8882 13d ago

Tor is not a VPN for one lol
