I don't know that it really is subtext here, but I suspect that Tor has many people communicating electronically where they would otherwise refuse to do so at all. In other words, "Normally I would refuse to talk about this on the internet and would meet you in the back of the bar instead, but I trust Tor so let's discuss this now."
It therefore puts communications that previously would not have been available to the NSA into the realm of things that the NSA can access.

- jlgreco 13y agoCertainly, many would. Would as many though?
