Which is why you should be using Tor to read it. You shouldn&#x27;t accept someone&#x27;s attempt to subvert your right to the freedom to read. Fear tactics like that shouldn&#x27;t be accepted. Besides, everyone is already in NSA&#x27;s database. Looking up Tor just adds more data that can be correlated with you later. On the plus side, if you then go on to use Tor, that&#x27;s the last piece of data that can be correlated with you (assuming good enough opsec).<p>EDIT: As I send this, the app I&#x27;m using (Materialistic) isn&#x27;t able to access the HN API when I&#x27;m using Orbot with transparent proxying. That&#x27;s really annoying.
