While Tor is not designed for malicious computer users, it is inevitable that
some may use the network for malicious ends. In the mind of this operator,
the social need for easily accessible censorship-resistant anonymous
communication trumps the risk. Tor sees use by many important segments of the
population, including whistle blowers, journalists, Chinese dissidents
skirting the Great Firewall and oppressive censorship, abuse victims,
stalker targets, the US military, and law enforcement, just to name a few.

censorship, abuse victims, stalker targets, the US military, and law

In reality however, the actual amount of <a
href="https://www.torproject.org/faq-abuse.html">abuse</a> is quite low. This
is largely because criminals and hackers have significantly better access to
privacy and anonymity than do the regular users whom they prey upon. Criminals
can and do <a

powerful networks</a> than Tor on a daily basis. Thus, in the mind of this
operator, the social need for easily accessible censorship-resistant private,
anonymous communication trumps the risk of bad actors, who are almost always
more easily uncovered by traditional police work than by extensive monitoring
and surveillance.
