Tor is in an unusual position where the State Department and CIA are among its biggest supporters, but the FBI and domestic LE do everything in their power to undermine it.
Freedom for citizens of other countries, but not ours. No, we have to monitor our citizens because.... THE TERRORISTS WANT TO RAPE YOUR KIDS. What a bizarre time to be alive.

privacy and preventing the low IQ LEO's from misinterpreting the data.
Ever watch any sitcoms? In almost all of them the classic plot involves a misunderstanding. One character overhears something, sees something, reads something and misinterprets it and then hilarity ensues.
What happens when it gets to the point that a horror writer like Stephen King is researching a novel and surveillance and "pre-crime" is so bad that the SWAT team bust down his door no-knock style and kill him in a raid because their "threat-score" algorithm identified him as a major threat because of his google searches.
He searches how to kill your wife who is locked in a bathroom with an axe while saying "Here's Johnny", he searches how escape prison by digging a hole in your prison cell wall and how to hide the hole with a poster of Rita Hayworth, he searches how to bring a body of a dead child you hit with your semi truck back to life when you bury it in a pet cemetery.
All of these searches were for his fiction novels but LEO doesn't know that and they are itching to try out their new riot gear so they bust in and kill his ass. Oops it was a misunderstanding. Too bad we accidentally killed Stephen King. Hilarity ensues.

>No Tor means Stephen King is kill
Is this an argument against Tor?

more legitimate tor traffic -> easier to hide illegitimate tor traffic
If we're all using it to shitpost and download gentoo, people in worse situations who actually need this level of privacy and security benefit from our contribution to the network.
If everyone used Tor for just 10% of their (legit) internet traffic, spying programs would be completely overwhelmed.

Nobody needs to know about my insatiable lust for big dicked transexuals or muscle women, or any of my weird, unforgivable hentai. Not the government, not advertisers. It's nobody's business, but here we are.

Wouldn't more unneeded traffic on the Tor network just make it slower for the people who need it to evade censorship?
>>54551814
Tor is a relay network that runs on its clients, more clients means more bandwidth for everyone.

Fuck, how does Tor actually work? I thought you only forward others' data if you setup your computer as a node. Is that not true?
>>54551443
You don't need to be a pedophile or drug trafficker to hire a hitman

>Fuck, how does Tor actually work? I thought you only forward others' data if you setup your computer as a node. Is that not true?
your computer is always a p2p link between other Tor clients, when Tor is running and connected.
you can ALSO setup your computer to be an "Exit node", which means it bridges your internet connection with Tor, allowing other tor users to exchange data with the internet over your public IP.
However, in both cases you are still taking part in the tor network.
>>54551937
edit that this may not be the case if you use a packaged solution like Tor Browser, which doesn't run Tor service like Vidalia on your OS separately.
>>54551961
So what do you mean by this,
that if I run let's say tailOS I'm more prone to suspicions as I directly participate in the network, while if I just care about my anonymity the browser will suffice on any OS?
research into this type of computing
black hat research
data sets that might have hidden telemetry or otherwise hidden tracking scripts in them
general anonymous browsing
life is just easier when people don't know what you're up to
>>54552001
Tails can be set up so you don't contribute, it's also more secure than running the tor browser package, even if you contribute.

>You don't need to be a pedo to like CP
>>54551937
This nigger is mistaken.
I've never seen a Tor implementation that defaults to being a relay.
What the fuck is gonna happen if the chink authorities notice a Chinese IP address in the Tor Atlas?
Motherfucker disappears in the middle of the night, that's what.
Maybe he is thinking of I2P, which DOES require participation in the relaying.
But I suspect he is just talking outside his expertise. Muh Tor, so l33t, very haxxor.
>>54552733
I'm so glad that Tor exists mostly because of the sorry fucks living in China who still want the internet and dank memes.
