You don't need tor for terrorism or identity theft, and it probably isn't widely used in those circles. There are easier ways. But plenty of people use tor to avoid what amount to terrorist govenments and regimes.



This statement is made without basis. What percentage of tor traffic is used for terrorism, identity theft, or people avoiding persecution?

I'm not going to make a value judgment on the use of tor, but I do think it's important to be honest about how it may be used.
