Nothing-burger ad piece. It's widely known that Tor was created by the U.S. Naval Research Lab and gets funding by various government arms, because allowing citizens in oppressive regimes unfettered access to the Internet is good for US foreign policy. Hell, the About page on the Tor home page mentions it was made by the Navy, or just reading the Wikipedia article for it. The US govt isn't a monolith - of course there will be some arms going at "cross purposes" like supporting encryption while the NSA worries about the rise. That doesn't mean it poisons everything connected to government funding, or else I have some bad news about 90% of university research grants.
