On the one hand, I frequently (and loudly) point out to people that Tor is US Govt funded, etc. - I think it's important that everyone be aware of that.

OTOH, I am not sure this is a bad thing, at least in terms of the "legality of Tor" ... it's often discussed whether simply using Tor will, at some point, be legally questionable and I think there is a built-in legal defense here: How can merely using Tor ever be illegal if it is currently funded by the government ?




Yeap at some point in time ARPANET was a military project too. So where drones, small GPS devices (iPhones?!) and google glass-like equipment :-)
