"TOR is paid for by the US government"

As I already explained, it *doesn't matter* who sponsers a privacy technology or who even runs the servers (unless they run ALL of them), the ENTIRE POINT of the technology is that there's no backdoors and it's secure and encrypted so it doesn't matter who runs it because they still won't be able to see what you're doing.

"And if this is supposed to be the gold standard, I wonder why sites from the darknet are regularly exposed!!!."

There could be quite a few reasons besides Tor being somehow "compromised", because Tor can't fix bad opsec surrounding it. Every case I know of of someone who was using Tor being found out or whatever was a case of them making a mistake that had nothing to do with Tor and being found because of that. If you can give me an example of Tor actually being compromised, then go ahead.
