What's your take on the recent releases that claim that the US government is funding the Tor network and its development? Information obtained from FOIA requests.

They created Tor, and have been funding it from the start. This is not news.
Yasha Levine has been on a tear ‘exposing’ this for the last few years, but it’s not personally shocking to me.
Did you know that the US government funded Signal, too?
The US Government has a legitimate reason for creating and supporting mechanisms anonymous Internet use by those under the control of oppressive regimes.
Other parts of the US Government appear to have a desire to know everything about everyone all the time.
The "US Government" is not one thing, it's an enormous collection of agencies, bureaus, and humans, who sometimes have desires that are at odds with one another.
