" So, The NSA and FBI CAN force Intel to give up the keys Intel ME. They can force them to install a system that can dump your memory and send it over the network invisibly. Intel could be given a gag order to cover this up. So, is Tor pointless? Even if your computer is safe what about the nodes? And your VPN's servers? Simpler and more effective than Hard Drive Malware. You could install it on every chip Intel used. Even if I use a Libreboot T400 and use the best VPN I can find or several of them they can still easily defeat that with an Intel ME hack. Is Tor worth using if your adversary is the US government?
