Actually, at this day and age, I think not just Tor but all projects and public companies should choose sides and be vocal about it.

When big players don't choose sides, it doesn't mean they actually dont support a side, it means we don't know or they wanna hide it.

So my point is we might not agree with Tor at this, but I know, I guess to a reasonable degree, now what Tor stands for, and that is rare today.

Also lets not forget that, at least for many people, Tor is a heavy mission driven project. So what it chooses matters to people that worry about big issues of our generation.
