Table 2 (with Germany at the top) in [1] does seem to suggest that “Privacy enthusiasts” represent a significant proportion of Tor users. Perhaps a 2nd place is deserved (higher than the “Loonies”) in the estimated breakdown above. I would also place human rights activists somewhere at the bottom of the list. The “Militaries” section on the “Tor users” page is most likely completely phony, though.
