The problem is that the average or "mainstream" person does not care about privacy, or even human rights. Not really.
The second they learn that tor can and will be used to spread "hate speech" or the classic CP, Drugs, Terrorism, the "mainstream" will (and is currently) demand that Tor sacrifice privacy in the name of defending Social Justice, stopping terrorism, ending CP, or catching drug dealers.
Under new board of Tor, and this new direction I fear Tor will cave to these demands.
Edit..
and just to be clear. Social Justice is not the same as Human Rights. People of late seem to be confusing the 2.
