Who runs the energy cartel supplying the infrastructure? Does NET and WEB give you the impression of totalitarian control not being the promoted intent of technology offered by the military industrial complex?
Military designed world wide web and civilian privacy in it...do you see the contradiction?
Also government means "govern mind", while military means "to fight". These terms were chosen by intent to allow you to see their intent if you chose to do so...they call this a "sleight of hand" and it alleviates them from guilt by laying it on our ignorance.
Node means "knot". Does knot signify freedom of movement; within a net; within a web; within a mass population control technology offered by the military industrial complex?
Department of defense yes. Government owns a lot of nodes.
It's not even compromised, it was created by government. Good for privacy for diplomats in foreign lands, but not guaranteed privacy for individuals. Nobody knows how secure, but it's always been government backed.
Don't know. But I do know that you can customize your router, Merlin something for ASUS, search "tomato router firmware" for others. From there it can be customizable with known lists of DoD NSA.
Tor network was never about security, it is about anonimity only. The owner of exit node have full access to your trafic and even can do a man-in-the-middle attack, but it can't identify you. So the server you connect to using Tor. For some extent it could protect your trafic from sniffing by your ISP, but only if your exit node is on the other ISP. That is all.
You could select the country of exit nodes, but not exact nodes IIRC.
If you want just hide your identity from service you use, or get around IP ban, Tor is what you need. If your goal is different, use appropriate tools.
Who's in control, how much government IP's have been identified running TOR-Nodes. How much nodes are compromised? How much nodes runned by freedom activists.
That questions have no sense, because you want to use Tor for something Tor was never designed for.
Tor is not about security or privacy. Tor is about anonimity. I.e. when you make a request to server, server have no chance to identify your real IP. That is all. It does not matter, who owns nodes, are they belong to government or freedom activists. Server will see only IP of exit node, not your real IP. That is Tor for, no more, no less.
If you want privacy, use encryption, if you want security, use good auth. Tor is for anonimity. And it works perfectly for that.
privacy != security != anonimity
Many computer users, who don't want to learn how things works, mix that orthogonal things and make bad decisions.

Within whose jurisdiction? Who controls the energy needed to allow the hardware to allow you to play with the software on it?
It's a DOD project.

Good link to additional configuration for ASUS router with Merlin firmware.
he who controls the exit-nodes, controls the universe.
FACT: CIA/FBI run exit-nodes.
