Why does Tor exist? : CafeDread | Torhoo darknet markets
I would like to know, why Tor exists. The enitre story of Tor is so sketchy. It was invented by glowies and today it is being financed by the US government and corpo foundations (mozilla foundation, ford foundation etc.)
I don't understand, why the US government is supporting the Tor project. At least, this was always the case, because the current Trump administration seems to oppose Tor.
I simply don't see the use case for Tor from a government perspective. China bans the darknet and this makes perfect sense, from the CCPs perspective. Tor/the darknet is such a confusing phenomenon. Can you tell me, why it exists? And please don't tell me, to promote "privacy" and "democratic values". This is the answer ChatGPT is telling me.
Then they open sourced it and the rest is history.
The idea to open source it was that it's harder for adversaries to isolate U.S. government users because if only spies used it, they’d stand out so let everyone use and have the spies blend in with all of us clowns. lol
Trust, the government(s) need it as much as we need and want it. It's mutually beneficial and brings far more good than bad. Even though it may not seem that way.
