Tor was developed, built and financed by the US military-surveillance complex. Tors original and current purpose is to cloak the online identity of government agents and informants while they are in the field: gathering intelligence, setting up sting operations, giving human intelligence assets a way to report back to their handlers that kind of thing. This information is out there, but it's not very well known, and it's certainly not emphasized by those who promote it.

Functional anonymity networks are built to not discriminate against anyone.

Therefore, everyone can use Tor (it's even on the Tor Projects homepage) - Family & Friends, Activists, Media, Military & Law Enforcement.

~ You cannot be anonymous by yourself and Never confuse your right to privacy with anything else (perhaps also translated as) Tor can't help you if you use it wrong!

Anyone who thinks that Tor is a giant honeypot should probably start by studying the source code.
