    Stop oppressing me by tracking me when I'm pretending I'm anonymous! lololol

    Once upon a time, Tor was a shining beacon of light that caused me to think fond thoughts of oppressed Persians being able to access their own cultural history via the West. These days, they have phone apps for that in their own language, and Tor is just a joke that never stops giving.
