FBI honeypot? Why bother, just cross reference your advertising shadow profiles with a few trackers of what you're interested in. Combine that with the scrape Canada is doing with all the download services, and the pre host intercepts to AWS, Google, Microsoft, etc... that the NSA is doing and you capture all the file transfers for all but the savviest of people. Operating TPB would expose them to potential liability at home. I highly doubt the MPAA/RIAA/etc... are not going to sue if they found out the FBI is directly responsible for disseminating 300K copies of frozen and Taylor Swift's album for free to capture the fairly useless proxied VPN of the uploaders. America and Canada have proven that they don't need to operate the hosts, they can capture all the data just fine without exposing themselves to the risk. Regardless, assume the FBI/NSA/CSIS/MI-X/etc... are capturing everything you do including the comments on here, reddit, twitter, Facebook, 4-chan, torrent, tor, and really everywhere else. The can unravel that onion, so unless it's carefully encrypted, and it on the internet, assume the governments either have it or have access to it. |
