This was interesting, and to log on I had to Identify about ten people in my friends list.
Afterwards I received two E-mails.

Hi

I think social media sites that are popular like FB are increasingly having to step up their security and bouncing off proxies as TOR will do, will likely flag up to them ( I dont know 100% as I dont work for them but its an educated guess) and thus suspend your account unless you can prove who you are.

Is it a good thing well YES in a way as too many freaks are on FB and other social media and if you need to hide ( I do see the security benefits of hiding on the net as a devils advocate position) then you have something to hide in a way.... the reasons are vast from illegal activities to paedophilia to name a few.

Interesting topic and thanks for posting as we have a balanced from personal privacy to what is deemed inappropriate actions "possibly" on the net these days.

I was just interested in how TOR works. Allot of Journalists use this overseas so, The governments can't tell who they are.

Hi

Yes its a great tool and I do use OperaTor (old version as new doesnt support TOR) a bit as its more secure when on free wifi connections when I'm not at home and travelling for work, but I also use Kubuntu when working away and needing to use not known wifi.

Just some as I mention social networks dont like proxies.

I just removed TOR. I don't have anything to hide, and I was Just experimenting with it.
It's nice to know if you need absolute security, Their is a way.
