When you're using https, all or most of those agents see your location
and the website you're visiting. In this case, your 'location' and the
fact that you are looking at 'some page within the riseup page'. No one
except the riseup server serving you each page (and by extension the
admin if they actually 'look', but I could be they don't 'look' unless
there is a troubleshooting need) can see what page of the riseup website
you are looking at, nor what user name or password you are inputting.

In the diagram,
https://www.eff.org/pages/tor-and-https
when you make the https buttom go green , as in, when you're using
https, only 'lawyer' and 'police' of the sysadmin of site.com know more
than that, and that only if the sysadmin tells them.

tor seems to add more 'agents' who know little if you're using https.

People need to understand that tor is for anonymity and https is for
privacy - two different tools for two different purposes.

better off undetected ;)
