Rather than playing coy, you should tackle the challenging part of your argument head-on: tell us why you think Tor is different from other technologies that are routinely abused. That would actually be a substantive contribution to the discussion.

Why do I have to tell you this when it should be instantly obvious: Tor is literally designed to obfuscate the identity of people. A coffee machine isn't.
So you think people in oppressive regimes should voice their opinion and/or whistleblow with no identity protection and risk... death?
You either have haven't thought about this topic very long, or you're just a troll.

I assume that since you think that desiring anonymity is criminal that you wouldn't mind replying with your full legal name.
I'm curious if you are also opposed to encryption in general. How about https? Should all traffic be http?

Because it's only instantly obvious until you consider it for a moment. By your logic, literally any privacy-preserving technology, be it disposable email services or *69 on your telephone, are morally unjustifiable.
