Look in the links reference section - it works too I may add. I use it to chat & few times with no problem. Plus every use of every software has a good & bad side to it "never judge a book by it's cover".

Tor is only as trustworthy as the endpoint you are connected to. Not all of the people who run these are honest.

Well with all the information you have just gave is already too much, you have me three pieces of information that is to start (I need) to track you down :

~ Location - look in electoral register list in london

Assuming the info I have given is correct.

~ Your place/type of employment, tax/employment records - contact them/break into their system(bug)

~Your hobbies/ habits/lifestyle day-to-day movements.Monitor your movements/ then build a plan of your life over a few days/months.

~Your Ip address - rough location

~Your apple phone will be the easiest point of access from its blue tooth connection + how you view your net accounts. Your Mobile phone/s are your weakness point form any point of understanding.

Actually, no. It won't. I have disabled bluetooth on it as I have no need for it, and it's just wasting battery power.

~Once located you take a few rubbish bags to see you thrown away a few financial documents etc once I got some pieces of information on you, I can go to the birth & death record office, to get a copy of your birth certificate (legal), then all your lifes work, can be all mine with a few phone calls.

With all you have given me I can narrow you down to a few hundred's people then, narrow down even more with you lifestyle & Facebook postings/accounts - location/ time/place/daily pattern etc Just keep narrowing you down til you make a mistake, which we all do as humans. Then if I was going to take over you life or your finance, I could all too easy or to ruin your life If wanted to do all these things - this is just an easy example how much information is out on everyone - scary isn't it. Which I don't wish to do anyhow.

This loop hole in our own personal detail was exposed in over 30yrs ago, by a man doing a study on how easy our detail to easy to get - the government hasn't closed this loop hole yet after all this time, not forgetting all the details that private companies have on us too, eg your mobile phone provider, they keep every single action you do (locations, texts, phone call recording) for years.

Oh Just to add didn't you know that LEA loves when they get handed apple phones as it tall too easy recover the information from it without much know how - a built in back door .........now a black berry is a totally different thing all together too, it encrypted from the start. Remember mid to late last year the UAE banned the blackberry devices, to be used as they couldn't tap or read the users actions as they used them, few months on they change the ruling few months onwards as a agreement was reached - they had access to the network to do the above following again.

This my reply to all, not a plan of action just a open but bluntly view on what people can do with right know how. Mobile devices are not be trusted nor even hard drives in any modern devices either. Trash/smash them before you resell anything modern with a drive.

To Stuart, thank you for reading my reply, you have a view? do reply in good faith

The thing is, nearly everything you say is possible whatever I put on facebook. As such, facebook is largely irrelevant to your argument. I am aware of how easy it is to track people. As for your idea about using the electoral role. Good luck. There are many people with my surname. Not all with the same date of birth, but I believe you also need to know which borough/area they are registered in. I rarely, if ever, give that out. Oh, and thanks to the fact that my ISP does not appear to maintain precise location details, IP Geolocation will get you to within a 6-10 mile radius of me. I live in a heavily populated area, so that's really not much help.

If someone is really determined to track you down, they will. Facebook may help them, but it's far for the only place. Tor will not help you, and depending on the how honest the owner of the endpoint is, may actually hinder you.
