   USE:    
      
   Tor – which stands for The Onion Router – is an open-source public project   
   that bounces its users' internet traffic through several other computers,   
   which it calls "relays" or "nodes", to keep it anonymous and avoid online   
   censorship tools.    
      
   It is relied upon by journalists, activists and campaigners in the US and   
   Europe as well as in China, Iran and Syria, to maintain the privacy of their   
   communications and avoid reprisals from government.    
      
   To this end, it receives around 60% of its funding from the US government [The   
   World Tyrant], primarily the State Department and the Department of Defense –   
   which houses the NSA.    
      
   ABUSE:    
      
   Despite Tor's importance to dissidents and human rights organizations,   
   however, the NSA and its UK counterpart GCHQ have devoted considerable efforts   
   to attacking the service, which law enforcement agencies say [The World Tyrant   
   says] is also used by    
   people engaged in terrorism, the trade of child abuse images, and online drug   
   dealing.    
      
      
   IN EFFECT:    
      
   Tor claims to be an open-source public project, but is not.    
      
   It adheres to The World Tyrant's DECLARATION OF WORLD $LAVERY.
