Please don't equate Tor with piracy or say that it is not good.
Tor is designed to protect anonymous free speech, which is one of the lynchpins of democracy (see: Publius and the
Federalist Papers). Its core algorithm was developed by the US Naval Research Lab, and it was largely funded by
Human Rights Watch and the
Electronic Frontier Foundation to protect political dissidents in oppressed nations. It is used by the
New York Times, the
Guardian, and other journalism outlets to protect whistleblowers and dissidents, and it is endorsed by the
Internet Watch Foundation.
It can be used for illicit reasons as well, but that is not its reason for existing at all.
