What's worse is that the few in control of TOR refuse to update their threat model (which is almost 20 years old) and implement solutions for this. I guess their Navy bosses want to keep access for "the good guys inc".

I am unsure what TOR developers can do to with twitter/facebook/instagram. The platforms business model is to collect personal information in order to sell advertisements, and blocking people who they can't identify is a business decision.

Tor could create their own society network but that will do nothing for people who need to reach people on those platforms.

This whole thing is annoying, but not really a threat to anonoyminity per se.

Also there isn't really good technical solutions.

It's written "Tor", not "TOR".

Yeah I keep forgetting, I even read a whole article about that and the origins of the name.
