Edit: my bad. Misinterpreted your comment.

Can you elaborate on how Tor is a threat to the open internet? That's a non-obvious statement to me. I'm aware that it's compromisable via controlling exit nodes (NSA, various nations) but that's not really the threat profile for the average person. Are there any other reasons?

Because despite its flaws, afaik TOR is an attempt to make the internet _more_ open to those who are being surveiled.

What am I missing?
