The more privacy the better as far as I'm concerned, but I've never used tor. What are people using tor for? General comms, piracy (mild illegal), other (very illegal), ...?


>other (very illegal), ...?

I will be waiting patiently for people to admit that they do very illegal things over Tor.


They don't have to be admissions, reports are an option.


It's okay, you can safely confess to felonies and crimes against humanity on HN. Our usernames are meaningless and our traffic is SSL encrypted!


Besides regular browsing (basically a free VPN), a pretty nice use case of Tor is that some news sites have non-paywalled onion addresses.
