I don’t think there’s technically any evidence of tor or signal being compromised. signal is just speculation based on some early funding by a cia cutout, but it’s solid except for the architectural limitations (using phone numbers as identifiers still, some limited metadata they could theoretically collect). Tor might be worse idk, iirc a bunch of the exit nodes are run by some 3 letter agency? but that doesn’t necessarily mean the whole system is compromised.
Depending on who you ask tor is compromised enough to make it iffy to full on honey pot, either way my point is that as long as the systems exist as they are it’s gonna be difficult to evade it and always gonna be significantly too involved for average people going about their lives. Paranoid tech enthusiasts being able to navigate this stuff doesn’t translate broadly. Capitalism and big techs strangle hold on tech has to be dismantled before this kind of thing won’t be a concern anymore.
