MODERATORS
Don't do illegal activities.
What signal fiasco?
You should read the Tor foundation documentation before trusting your freedom to it.
You can be tracked on Tor, but the question is by who, and when. If you login to gmail over tor then google knows your using tor. If you access tor from your home computer then your isp knows your using tor.
If your threat model includes Advanced Persistent Threats at the nation state level, then they can do Cybill attacks and control enough nodes that they could track you.
"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".
