Theoretically, maybe.
Self-interest rears its head, though. If you don't have anything to hide, running Tor is extra work you don't gain any benefit from. Arguably you just subsidize those who use the tools for evil.
I have yet to be convinced that full anonymity is actually a societal good.
As a pragmatic defense against corrupt governmental agencies, it is probably useful.
I'm not so sure it's a net gain for society as a whole.
And, in a nutshell, I suppose that's why I've never gone down this road.
- vbezhenar 7y agoThere are many legitimate uses of Tor. Like opposition in oppressed regimes. But criminals probably make the most out of it. The thing is, it might be the most convenient tool nowadays for selling drugs, etc, but if you'll remove it, criminals will find other ways to connect. Some will be caught, but most won't. And good people might lose a valueable tool to defend themselves.
- NateEag 7y agoThat's certainly a good argument. I'm not trying to say Tor is all bad, just explain why I don't use it and why I'm not sure it's an unmitigated good.
