True, but if everyone were to use Tor all the time, everyone would be suspicious all the time, and therefore no one would be suspicious ever.

I'd like to see a pay-per-install Tor browser program materialize, one that would incentivize retailers and ISP techs to install Tor browser on customer devices. Every device should be connected to Tor from the moment it is powered on. Then we could at least go back to having free speech on the Internet.

"...suspiciuous all the time"? What nonsense. When Everyone uses Tor (or anything else), by definition that is "normal".

Or do you view envelopes with this same paranoia? https://www.philzimmermann.com/EN/essays/WhyIWrotePGP.html

To the NSA, a normal Internet citizen is a terrorist. Just searching the Web for anything Tor-related gets you put on a list. You are preaching to the choir.

He addressed that in literally the rest of the sentence:

>everyone would be suspicious all the time, and therefore no one would be suspicious ever.
