If 30% of all Android phones were regularly connecting with Tor, the number of daily users of Tor in the US would be in the tens of millions. Tor actually reports 380k mean daily users in the US.
Something does not add up here.

Podgorski said that the first is awareness that there is a problem
I doubt very seriously it is a Problem as he describes, it sounds more like a Feature, intentionally built in to harvest data.

May I have your and the forum’s expertise on a report by local media in my area ??? Local media reported that flat screen TVs have receivers and transmitters ...... any opinions
>>> that could enable potential attackers to track and profile users <<<
... the standard business model for social media and tech firms.
Newscast mentioned is two or three days old
My apology for hijacking your thread ......
It seems like a straightforward solution would be to check for connections to known tor nodes.

When a transaction hits the Tor network, who is the “user” to Tor. Can it be the App that is calling upon Tor, as the servant (the phone user) did not sign up for Tor.
If that is the case, a bunch of Apps - with each App surreptitiously installed on tons of devices - can easily multiply into millions of devices.
So, they set up exit nodes that they control. How do they get a target to use their exit nodes? I thought the selection of intermediate and exit nodes was random. If anyone can set up an exit node and force a target to use it, then tor is useless.

I need someone to pull together my digital world
I am looking at the new private phone Librum and perhaps even their computer. I will need a privacy package on computer so I can meet with clients through internet, I also need private email that can merge with phone and computer
There doesnt seem to be any one who will put it all together. Is there?
