@Tommy I think it is not a good idea to reconend Tails as a daily OS. The problem is that just by using #Tor you became very suspicious. If I'm correct, there was a study about tor exit nodes which has found, that smth like 50% of them are compromised (I can try to search for prooflinks on request), so if you online habits are not very, let's say, privacy respecting, you are at risk.
@peexea
That was a very good and interesting explaination. I think you are correct a little
but a lot just doesn't seem completely correct..
I don't completely understand how Tor
is suspicious because as long as you aren't doing dumb things, I wouldn't say you will get in trouble.
Also, I tried researching about 50% Tor nodes being comprimised and nothing was to be seen. Of course, some are, but not 50%.
Hoped I helped and Stay Safe!
@Tommy About suspiciousness:
Without traffic obfuscation Tor packets are easily distinguishable from others, so you ISP definetly know that you are using Tor. In the world of "we have nothing to hide" just using anonymizing tools itself makes you suspicious and therefore rise special attention from government agencies.
And this "special attention" is an Advanced Presistent Threat, so the definition of "not dumb things" quickly degrade to "only absolutely safe things".
@Tommy
And this "absolutely safe things" are quite hard to control.
@Tommy
For examle, you probably noticed that I'm not a native skeaker and therefore do a number of mistakes.
At first, by this mistakes an adversary can guess, which language is my native.
Secondly, the profile of mistakes or speaking patterns are quite a revealing information (even of native speakers). By comparing texts from different sources you can prove that it was written by one person with high presicion (provided you have enough text data).
@peexea
I loved your explaination!
I think you really are right.
Tor does have many Privacy holes so it is True that I should of not recommended Tails to everyone.
Thank you for that and I will put a note of that in the comments!
Stay Safe!
