content: If an agency can set up and control the exit nodes, what's even the point of using Tor? https://nakedsecurity.sophos.com/2015/06/25/can-you-trust-tors-exit-nodes/ It seems to me that using Tor will make you less safe. Surveillance can obviously happen even if you're not using Tor, but I would imagine that agencies spend more resources sifting through data from a Tor exit node than they spend on sifting through data from blanket surveillance.
