For example, I downloaded Tor network and using it for illegal activities. Can my govt track me? Can US govt track me? I know it encrypts something but if I remember correct, FBI was able to find some Tor users before.

Note: illegal activities was for example. I'm not going to do anything illegal. I'm just planning to serve my instance with a onion address.

The Curiosity of the human mind is the weakest link.

WDYM I just downloaded Tor Browser from there and its working as expected. But interestingly it was Chromium based.

Actually, that's what makes us better. Even if the price is death of one for knowledge of the whole race

I fully agree with you ;) .. Although a lot of animals are curious as well. But I mean it's one of the weakest links in terms of security. The human is the weakest link.
