>It’s a constant struggle for Tor to recruit “everyday” users of Tor, who use the service to evade commercial surveillance. Those users provide valuable “cover traffic”, making it harder to identify whistleblowers who use the service, and political air cover for those who would seek to ban the tool so they can combat child pornography and other illegal content.
Wait - I thought people weren't meant to use Tor (thus its bandwidth) if they didn't need it. Or are they recruiting not just any people, but those who will contrive to browse all day / not download heavily?
