Why do you think hiding your identity is a prerequisite for using Tor?

Many people, such as journalists and activists, use Tor very publicly to bypass censorship and access or share free information. Others run relays, maintain and integrate software, and advocate for Tor specifically to safeguard this freedom. Hiding their identities would contradict their own agenda.
