Several websites (that are legal, legitimate in nature) get censored by tier-1 ISPs (for whatever reason) however even though they are clearnet websites, you can still view them out of country, since with TOR you can keep refreshing your routes until you get access.
Maybe since it was official government affairs, any US ip address had to be let through no matter what.

Late at night I also get those classic spooky owl noises (great horned owl).
This is why we cannot have nice things. Ticketmaster wants to keep all the scalping on their platform and not anyone else's.
> Note: even though it originally came from an acronym, Tor is not spelled "TOR". Only the first letter is capitalized. In fact, we can usually spot people who haven't read any of our website (and have instead learned everything they know about Tor from news articles) by the fact that they spell it wrong.

Now that the TorProject has opted to correct the record, it is too little too late. Most presentations at the time did use "TOR" and it was called the TOR router. Even they understand the acronym comes from the original onion routing project from the Naval Research Lab.
All that to say, I don't know why they would try to distance themselves from what it was, and what it still is.
Either way I don't mind, but personally I think "Tor" looks more professional, less shouty, and doesn't conflict with "top of rack" router/switch (which is a thing in datacenters). I have noticed that the Tor project is pretty protective of their brand, e.g. if you start a project including "Tor" in its name they will complain and ask you to clarify lack of affiliation.
