don't mind me asking. Are you saying that tor is mainly developed / advocated by left leaning groups? Isn't it a tool that can and should be used by all camps, regardless of ideology. e.g. everyone has a right to anonymity or not? Not trolling you or trying to be cheeky, just trying to understand your reasoning better. thx

View on HN

It indeed is a tool that can be used by all camps, but the organisation that controls it has made it clear that only people in the "libertarian" part of the political spectrum can use it.

How exactly have they made that clear?

I thought it was pretty clear that Tor is for everyone.

Please link and explain this.

When has the Tor Project ever excluded anyone based on ideology?

You contradict yourself in very few words:

can be used by all camps

and

only people in the "libertarian" part of the political spectrum can use it

Additionally, the organisation that controls it don't control the content or who can use it. They continue to improve it and maintain it for the purposes of maximizing anonymity and preventing the type of 'control' that you seem to think they're capable of.

That's just silly, I can't see any evidence for that. What causes you to believe this?

EDIT: Correction, I was misinformed. Daily Stormer was not outed from Tor: https://www.fastcompany.com/40455652/the-tor-project-wont-ce...

This is a lie.
