Bad people will always try to find ways to destroy Monero, the community needs more good people who have worked hard and sincerely to make Monero what it is today. It would never have reached this level if it weren't for its honest community. If you are a developer, you can contribute and monitor CSS and bounty projects for Monero and point out any abnormal activity.
You can always donate to keep the Monero development going and improving as it have always been with no hidden fees or malicious behavior towards the community.
Privacy and Anonymity in Monero: Pedersen Commitments, Schnorr Signatures, Ring Signatures, ECDH etc
I have a written a blog post on how Monero uses Cryptography (ECDH, Pedersen Commitments, Schnorr Signatures, Ring Signatures etc) to add privacy & anonymity on the blockchain
https://risencrypto.github.io/Monero/
I have covered most of the cryptography used except for RangeProofs (Bulletproofs) which I plan to cover later in a separate post.
Do let me know if you find any mistakes or if something isn't clear.

How Chainalysis Made Their Way into Popular Monero Wallets
An investigation into how malicious nodes run by Chainalysis made their way into defaults of popular Monero wallets.
Because it leaked their strategy for "tracking monero users", running monero nodes so they can farm users IP connecting to their nodes. use Tor/VPN and run your own node.

By default, Feather routes all network traffic over Tor, except for wallet synchronization. Synchronization requires a lot of data transfer and is therefore very slow over Tor. A remote node does not learn much about your wallet during synchronization (for more information see Nodes). We believe this is a reasonable privacy / convenience trade-off.
No, stop FUD. This was a post by some crack head on Dread that doesn't understand shit about Haveno-reto network.
How is this relevant to Monero?

I2P is directly anti-government and promotes anti-governmental ideologies. PLEASE STOP!!!!!!!!!!! We need FBI and NSA to protect us.
No, how would that be possible? Exchange can block you if you are you send/receive transactions from sanctioned countries.
