- pphysch 3y agoIf it were just one agency, sure, but we have evidence that State, DARPA, and FBI all have their hands in the TOR cookie jar. It would be naive to assume that CIA and NSA aren't there too. Occam's Razor says that TOR is primarily a tool of the USG for enabling intelligence & influence operations, particularly those involving low-level assets without clearances (e.g. color revolutions), and the stuff about "consumer privacy" is an unreliable side effect.
