How much do you believe what this book (by Yasha Levine, writer for Wired, New York Observer, etc) states — that Tor is funded by the CIA and has backdoors? ht

  It is 100% false that Tor was funded by the CIA. However, it is a very well documented fact that Tor was initially funded by the US Naval Research Laboratory, which also has a mandate for international intelligence gathering. Get your organizations right.
