I don't doubt that there are such uses, I am just wondering about the actual percentage breakdown of different users. As it stands, the “Tor users” page at torproject.org is essentially propaganda aimed at presenting a certain image, but I would like to know how would it look like if sorted by users count. It's a frequent question, something that many people would like to know — and ultimately, the reason that the “Tor users” page exists. Only problem, that page is not too useful for answering the question. How would the top of the page look if sorted by actual most popular uses? Would it be: * Asians and Muslim use Tor to get on Facebook * Loonies use Tor to hide from The Man * Stoners use Tor to buy drugs * Pedophiles use Tor to share videos Or is that list completely wrong? Right now, it seems difficult to get a reliable estimate. -- Maxim Kammerer Liberté Linux (discussion / support: http://dee.su/liberte-contribute) _______________________________________________ tor-talk mailing list tor-talk@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
