Privacy Is a Human Right
The Tor project took a political stance a few years ago for no discernible reason at all.To me, Tor is a software project that runs a network that allows users to be anonymous. Period. That anonimity can be used for good or evil, and everybody has a different sense of good or evil. Rebranding the project as a way to spread western liberal values is, in my opinion, overstepping the boundaries of what a software project should be.(One can see an analogy between this change and the changes Mozilla took with their software. Unfortunately, there's no "better alternative" to Tor like there is to Firefox)
