I already know that it was made for military purposes, but when they were the only one using it all the traffic was easily observed as their own making tor useless for them unless there was more activity on TOR-network other than themselves.
So they released it as open source. Now top developers are continuing the maintenance of it voluntarily.
this is like when people said tor was safe and then found out the NSA funded it.
Lol tor was even made by the U.S. Navy or something.
So what? It is open source software; anyone can read the code to check if it is good enough. And many are doing just that.
just don't be surprised when they find it wasn't made by the people trying to create a privacy based system
