For example, I downloaded Tor network and using it for illegal activities. Can my govt track me? Can US govt track me? With Signal fiasco, I can't trust softwares that I'm not familiar with.

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.

I use OnionShare purely because I like to be fully in control of my stuff, and aware of the resources I'm consuming... I trust that it's secure and private, though I'm not doing anything illegal.

For comms, I like to use Tox, though I don't think there's an iOS app, which limits things somewhat.
