Should any tech that conceals IP addresses be demonized? Or just Tor?

Depends if it is being overwhelmingly used for criminal activity.

Obviously you know that "demonized" is a loaded word here. What's your point in using it?

All I'm saying is that if there's something where "99% of [...] volume is helping laundering international drug trade money, distributing CSAM" that that is obviously terrible for the world and we should be asking some strong questions about who's supporting it and why. Is somebody gaining something that's more important than the lives forever ruined?
