The problem, like in that previous case, is that "human subject research" is a pretty narrowly defined category. It is mostly meant to cover testing out drugs on human subjects, and stuff like that. Notably, there is plenty of une

The thing with tor is that it is only 1-2 orders of magnitude worse than the “normal” approach in terms of performance and so forth. Enough to be annoying, but still totally workable for a lot of applications
