How do we know that /leftypol/ is not a CIA honeypot? Remember that they tried to create a fake social media website for cubans to incte subversion against the revolutionary government.

Also if something "suspicious" (not necessarily illegal, just "sus" in CIA terms) happens the admin is supposed to give them the logs right? Since the servers are located in the US.

I'm not trying to bash this good website, I just want to know what others think about this.

My opinions:
>You shouldn't be doing anything political online without protecting yourself. This site is no exception.
>This website shouldn't be used for IRL praxis or cybercrime. For starters, it's public-facing and clearnet, E2EE is infeasible unless you go full PGP.

At the end of the day, you usually can't trust a website, even if the admin acts in good faith. It's hosted by a provider who can probably get subpoena'd by whatever government the site resides in. ISPs can track IPs in and out. This is the same deal with almost any website and is hard to avoid without making it darknet-exclusive.
leftypol.org supplies a Tor node and allows proxies and usage without JavaScript or 3rd party connections, so people protecting themselves can use the site pretty securely. But at the end of the day, this site isn't designed to handle those problems. It's a public imageboard.
