Isn't TOR partially funded by one of the US alphabet organizations?
The majority of it's funding is from various US entities. Even the whole concept was born from US military. But that really doesn't mean anything these days. As an open source project, you take money from whoever wants to give it to you. It's not like users who spend hundreds of dollars on proprietary software per month will give you any.
the whole concept was born from US military
same as the internet
And it was created without encryption be default (which was discussed at the time).
The argument was hardware couldn't handle the load of encryption at the time. Hahahaha, riiiight.
