No? As one example, if you're an activist in <country X> you maybe
shouldn't get TBB from your government's website.

Speaking of which, I don't think that youtube video had any mention of
checking signatures or anything? (But I didn't watch it carefully and
didn't listen to it at all.) I guess it has you adding a separate deb
repository, and you fetch the keyring for that, so assuming you fetched it
right you're likely to get the package it wanted you to get -- whatever
that is.

As another example, until the TBB can update itself
(which is actually coming pretty soon I hope:
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/4234 ), we need users
to understand how and when to upgrade. We're doing a poor job of that
now, but having even more ways that people install it could make the
issue even worse.

I'd suggest checking out TBB 3.x and thinking about videos for that
instead:

Since I'm hoping we can drop TBB 2.x real soon now.
