Pros & Cons… for using social media on Tor network.
Most of the social networks on Tor require you to enable Javascript in your browser to function. And if you don’t you might not be able to even access the site. Once javascript is enabled (white listing), It create a distinct browser fingerprint, which is one of the things Tor was designed to reduce. Also, you run the risk of making yourself vulnerable to Java/Javascript exploits that would normally be blocked by the NoScript extension. If the point of Tor is anonymity, then becoming involved in Tor social networks kind of defeats the purpose.
Also these social networks can be scams, in and of themselves. How, you ask? For example Blackbook and many other markets on Tor advertise services such as carding and drug sales. Regrettably, there is no reliable way to know what is a scam and what isn’t, which is why you should not buy anything on these sites because if you do you will not get your money back because you will be making a payment using Bitcoin which can’t be refunded or claimed back, and you will not be able to track the seller as they are all anonymous.
That being said, if you’re willing to take the risk by choosing to use these social networks then go ahead. Just keep in mind: If it sounds too good to be true, it definitely is.
