False "everyone" there to start. On point: malicious servers like adtech and rogue nodes, both, are standard part of net

@DonAndrewBailey@njkobie@TeenVogue@SarahJamieLewis@JoeBeOne they said use tls which should protect you from exit nodes -
It only requires a single auth attempt / single unencrypted packet to fall victim. IMHO "Use TLS" is useless advice in this circumstance.

More exit nodes does not help mitigate the architectural flaws of Tor and Tor Browser at all. It's a broken system.

Yes. Normal people already don't trust their ISP to treat them fairly, and a hostile exit is a vaguely similar risk. "Slow" they understand.
