Why can't I trust Centralised Exchanges, and random Monero nodes ? (blog.nowhere.moe)

if you run your own node, it means that the adversary needs to come and ask you directly to give you the details of who connected to the node. and if you keep Tor in between you and your own node, you're maintaining anonymity aswell.

if others find your (remote) node its not changing anything, you're making it available for them to use monero

but still they should run their own monero node to keep decentralizing further

Alright got it, but regarding TOR aren’t there also vulnerabilities with compromised exit nodes? I feel like once you go down the rabbit hole of trying to achieve true anonymity there’s always another layer of complications if you wanna do things right.
