 Most people don't realize what a terrifying world we would be living in if the Tor project didn't exist. 
 Is there a "normie"-friendly source you would point people to, in order to understand this better? Asking for a friend 
 Well... most people are retarded 
 Or they just aren't aware. Not everyone is buried in this topic like we are. There are plenty of people buried in other topics, without whom many of us would also be fucked. No one has the bandwidth to be deeply knowledgeable on all topics. 
 @calle 👁️⚡👁️ For as much as I like and support the Tor project and anonymity in general, Tor has failed it's purpose. Javascript has essentially stripped anonymity on any mainstream platform, and no way are you going to be able to do ANYTHING of import without some government issued ID. Journalists with real breaking stories are still killed on the regular.

This is a systemic problem with the internet as it is today. The foundation needs to be fixed. Tor cannot solve this. 
 That wasn't Tor's purpose nor is it in its control. Tor has other more serious issues. 
 big shoutout to the US navy 
 Plz explain? 
 Imagine a world without PGP. Clearnet plaintext exchanges. 
 On the flip side, those who have used Tor understand what a terrifying world exists within Tor. 
 U ar sp0t on there are 360 degrees to every project, it's not just black or white.
