Tor doesn't hide you. Simply keeps no history. The hiding part has to be done in other ways. It doesn't claim to hide you either. Using it like a regular browser your IP can still be traced. You need to use it along with something else if you want to be invisible. Think the best thing to happen on the net was when they got rid of all those MSN and Yahoo groups. That was were a lot of these people were making contact. The exchange could be done using the regular post. Some are not dumb. They knew they would be easily caught. Now you have uncover people acting as kids in snapchat and the likes. Setting up meetings. Good group in the UK. Dark Justice. Look them up on you tube. They show up with camera and video tape these people and post them on you tube. It has began to move once more. They are trying new ways. New methods to lure kids to places. Always great to see them been caught.
I would never hand over any cash at all. The NSA track certain names. They have a data base with key words programmed into it. One of those words appears on the net it comes up and it is checked out. Area I like in is called Kilbarrack. That was flagged once. Why? Former US President. Thought a person was writing Kill Barrack. As in Obama. Gave us all a good laugh. Person who made the post got a warning. It was explained it was an area in Dublin. Then things calmed dwn. That shows we are all been watched. Using words like Kill bomb US President Syria just messes with their heads.
