Like what policies? And how have they failed, since in fact Tor is not exclusively a crime tool?
But, yeah, Tor is often a crime tool.
It's a crime to be actively gay, or to support anybody in that, in a surprising amount of the world.
It's a crime to have the wrong religion, or no religion, in a roughly similar amount of the world, at least if you dare to talk about it.
It's a crime to criticize the government, or plan even the most peaceful action to undermine its policies, in an even more surprising amount of the world.
It's a crime, in a lot of places, to talk about embarrassing war crimes. It's a crime almost everywhere to talk about classified war crimes... which is awfully convenient if you're in a position to classify your embarrassing war crimes.
The Party claims it's a crime to for US citizens to tell US other citizens what US federal officers are up to. Oh, and the nonexistent "Antifa" is now a designated terrorist group, and you can absolutely expect them to try to treat planning totally peaceful protests as "material support for terrorism". Not real crimes? They're lying pieces of shit? That's nice, but the security measures you need are the same even so.
Anything that can support things that need to be supported is also going to be useful for things that are illegal, and even for things that are truly evil. That's part of the price. The technical needs are inseparable.
You don't want a world where it's totally impossible to get away with breaking laws under any circumstances whatsoever. Or at least you shouldn't.
Right now, especially, is a hell of a bad time for people on this US-dominated site to be trying to make things easier for police states.
